Teciro, the leader of the research flotilla who observed all of this happen whilst it did, smiled. For what they got was not taken as condescending or even as surprising, perhaps, it was even a relief, that whatever was on the center, or was the cause of this phenomena, was as predictable as any other enemy that they could fight.
Furthermore, it has even responded in the exact conditions that were expected. Who even thinks that armoring a vessel would work at this situation? After all, one of them would even be on the course for impacting directly against the core itself. However, what armoring a drone does is that it gives you "Bodies of proof".
Directly translating from the portuguese term, a "Body of proof", or commonly referred to by other names in english, is a specimen of material that is put under stress conditions, generally under a hydraulic press or an equipment of the like, and where when pressure is applied, the fissures and values will be studied. In its destruction, the value of these "Bodies of proof" only heightens. Even more now that they had many of them.
The relativistic shrapnel is sought after, the interferometry and parallax from the signal flares, now at quire the distance, can locate the objects with immense speed with ease, and then, a drone detachment acquires them and retrieves them into black boxe usually meant to carry artifacts, such boxes shield the objects from the tainting of the many radioactive influences of space.
Likewise, so were all of the probes used in the other operation. The boxes were retried and set up in the cargo bay of the leading vessel.
Nevertheless, they have run out of options short of sending a person into the core. However, the risk of doing such far outweighs the possible outcome, thus, this option is not considered. However, before leaving, the other 5 D-1 Drone Strike Force unleash all of their drones, and perform the preprogrammed action of setting them all up around the sphere equidistantly, each communicating with three comms arrays on their hemisphere, and all with a programming to avoid and report damage whenever possible.
With that last step completed, the fleet backs off from the object, and FTLs away in a series of short jumps, before a long one, to do away with any followers.
