Omega ignores the question for the moment.
"Device? No device could cause this amount of disruption, do this amount of temporal damage, not without damaging itself. And what would be the use of this device? Why would a faction have a device like this?"
"I can tell you, it is not a device. Orange portals open at the apex of the energy, releasing a cloud of ships, or people, or stations, or sometimes, nothing. No device would be powerful and accurate enough to do things like that on time, on schedule, not without being created by an entity or god that could do that at will. And even then, no matter their motives, they would not be stupid enough to give any faction such powerful a device."
He sits back, his hands clasped together. Before any of the Archons can ask the prior question again, he says,
"What exactly do you mean by expedition? What type of fleet would you send? What ships would be in it? How powerful would these ships be? I cannot allow a battlefleet into Cygnusia, even in the current circumstances."
