Yes, I'm a telepath so I thought breaking into her mind was a worthwhile endeavor. Wanda also mentally interrogated her, we have discussed sharing what she told us with everyone. Kyle and Lucifer also told me what they learned from their interrogations, so we know some things.
She didn't know who the shrines were originally to, unfortunately, so no answers on the shrine monster. She was trying to find a way to be a vessel to one of their gods. She believed that the Summoned were unworthy for their connection to the gods/the Singularity and they were trying to steal that from us. Thorne attempted the same thing in the early days, seeing if they could take our connection and use it on one of their own. They believed that using metamorphosis could get people closer to the divine, that's why they experimented on us. The vision would be proof that the direct attempt worked and she wanted to extract the vision from all of you. We escaped before that was possible.
All of her accomplices were found and they have no other places to hide. She said they were a recent sect, only in the last year. They attempted to contact all the gods for help and Nikodaemus was apparently the one that answered and helped 'bless' their enchantments. That is why she thinks they were so powerful. Some of this is more about belief than proof. I don't think they saw Nikodaemus and he spoke to them, it was more that 'proof' happened by actions being successful.
The vision may very well have been successfully enabled. It is possible what you saw was a connection to the native gods here. It would line up with some of what people saw, when it was similar to the situation with the heralds.
