ANOMALY DISCOVERED

Jenwuf

The leaving STE (or TSC) fleet almost entirely stops to take in the spectacle.

"Oh my god"

"what the hell is that Thing!
and what will it even do!"

"but if they can build that...
we could rebuild our lost homeworld with tech like that."

"i doubt they will assist us now"

"anyway lets go, we need to be present for the formation of the Second Tau Empire.
We can come back for those Two later."

With that, the Fleet leaves, at this point in the timeline, just before the STE was formed.

If by tanky you mean a portable reactor cluster-nuke...
They also seem quite small for a flagship and battleships...

We Voidborn have assisted you in the defence of this installation... We hope this platform continues to serve you in the long term and that the fact we helped in the defence of it ensures it is not a threat to our fleet while it reamains in this system.

killercat625 The Fleet was growing annoyed, not allowed to shoot at the peaceful creatures that didn't provide any risk to the station.
Commander: "So is this place just going to become it's feeding Zone...?"
Captain: "Probably. Reactors have more than enough juice though."
Commander: "Alright, I guess..."
The Commander sighed and walked away, getting a drink in the meantime...

"We've listened in on high command - sorry for that, I know it may infringe on some of your protocols - but we also have a solution for handling a possible situation that requires the breaking of protocol... without breaking it."

"This Battleship Subcore will attempt to communicate with these things - they are coming at an exponential rate and may start having a noticeable effect on the sphere given enough time, so we think we need to come to a compromise before that happens. Since these beings are... Primal in origin, we have a plan. We just need your permission."

After that there were around 70, but it didn't grow past that number, as the creatures kept drawing energy and leaving, like they were feeding something with it.

"...Well, it seems their numbers have stopped growing, but whatever they may be feeding still might be worriesome to deal with if not found out about sooner or later. Goes to show that not even Collective calculations are perfect..."

The creatures just keep coming and going like a buffet, Whatever they are feeding it is large and can use different materials/energies to fuel itself

"Um... Space Nazis... Well, can't say this isn't the highlight of my day. Well, A small fleet is coming to escort you should you try anything sketchy. Oh Wait... Giant Zeppelin armed with highly advanced technology... So... State your purpose?"

The ships stay in place, waiting to be escorted...

The GSR ships immediately raise shields and power up the massive array of weapons, aiming the rotary cannons at the ship...
