1. Which is exactly why you gather intel, to find out. We know the Collectors are beyond it, but why would you gather a team of specialists to go through there if literally anything could be beyond the relay? Hire an army and send them through. Send them in waves if you have to. Why risk everything in one ship? This is why intel is important.

2. That logic is inconsistent. You saw we can't send probes through the relay because nothing ever comes back, but it's perfectly fine to put all of our eggs in one basket and bumrush it? What? Also, you would be wrong. The Shadow Broker sent a probe through and found it.
