Lucy ran the query against the full array catalog.
The processing took longer than any previous query had. Liam watched the display cycle through comparison layers — biological template matching against 847 billion catalogued life-bearing worlds in the Milky Way alone, then expanding outward through the array's intergalactic records, cross-referencing carbon-based biochemistry, liquid solvent dependency, specific cellular architecture, atmospheric oxygen-nitrogen balance, photosynthetic mechanisms.
The query finished.
