I find it more than a little odd that nobody in this entire episode bothered to mention that these new aliens are going to have a bit of a challenge evolving a technologically advanced civilization from seeded microbes given, you know, that problem.
Even if you assume that it's not really going to take billions of years for them to evolve naturally, during which time the likelihood of some other species settling on their world and potentially messing with their plans is pretty high, what sort of a future can they expect. Lets say the tech magic lets these guys fast forward their planet's evolution and sentient life appears fairly quickly, that sentient life is still very likely going to be squashed out or oppressed before they get anywhere near advanced enough to find that device.
I bring it up because it's entirely likely that the device's AI didn't even know that the Wraith exist, but nobody felt the need to warn it about them and what they do to civilizations that pursue technological advancement.
The only way this isn't a problem is if the thing was headed out of pegasus, a possability I suppose but not something that was mentioned or really even implied.
