((Bridge, Deck ?, Pyroclastic))
It shifted its attention to the sensors. The bridge was mostly dark dark. As a silicone based life form, it didn’t by necessity need visible light spectrum to sense his surroundings. The Sheliak had other ways to perceive the world such as temperature variations, vibrations in the atmosphere or in subspace. It heard the voice of the Director.
Vigntel: You are certain it has the signature of a metaweapon?
The Threat Assessor answered. While Procurator Snlpkg was well aware it was not the Director of the Pyroclastic, he could not help but sense the the readout.
Gnaklt: Yes, it has much similar readings as a subspace weapon the Romulans accused the Federation of detonating 100 years ago.
Snlpkg: How long till we can intercept?
This time the answer came not from a silicon based member of his crew, but a crystalline one. If one of the organic creatures saw Nevalline, they would se what looked like a jagged blue and orange crystal with four crystalline spider-like legs and a pair of arms.
Nevalline: about fifteen minutes at light speed exponential 8. We would need to cross the divide of Alliance’s stars though.
Snlpkg: The risk is acceptable. Starfleet cannot be allowed to have such weapons. Capture of such a weapon is preferred, but its destruction is acceptable.
The Director turned to Snlpkg and gestured for it to be silent, and Snlpkg knew it had crossed a social line. It bowed and stepped back
The ship halted changed direction to intercept the Starfleet weapon. In seemingly little time, the Pyroclastic dropped out of warp almost point blank range of the two starships.
Gnaklt: The Starship that has full power is the Aleek Om, Nova Class. The other is not recognized, probably a black project of Starfleet’s.
The Director turned to another member of it’s crew.
Vigntel: Snlpgk, assemble a team and capture that ship.
The Procurator nodded and thumped off the bridge.
((Briefing Room, Deck 1, USS Icarus))
A few moments later it was sparkling into existence into a conference room near the bridge of the unusual weapon ship along with a Sheliak Asset Protection Officer and a Tholian enforcer. Voices could be heard on the other side of the conference room door on what was presumably the bridge.
The Sheliak asset protector walked to the door, but it remained closed. He lifted his hand and began to super heat the door. oO The Sheliak, don’t need primitive weapons; we have built in magma production Oo When the hole was big enough to walk through. Snlpkg walked onto the bridge.
((Bridge, Deck 1, USS Icarus))
Snlpkg: Organic infestations, you have been found in violation of the Treaty of Algeron article III, Section 5, subsection 13, paragraph 4. Your metaweapon will be confiscated as evidence.
Ragel/Yirah/McCray/Montanari: response
There were three of them on the bridge, somehow he expected more. The Tholian Enforcer made a screeching, clicking noise that translated.
Lesatine: There are four of them.
Snlpkg viewed the scene with confusion. It only saw three, but it had never known Lesatine to be wrong before.
Snlpkg: Organic pests, hiding is useless we will find you. You will all be arrested.
