After hearing a few words from them, Meta had already concluded that these guys were assholes. Well he'd just deal with it, after all, what kind of galaxy doesn't have at least a hundred assholes in it? He stayed silent at their remarks and watched as the Tempest's engines and reactor were seemingly magically repaired, he was awed by what he saw, since no other galactic faction he knew of had this kind of tech, even the TKR. Although he was amazed, he was careful not to show it, instead replying with a simple: [b]Meta:[/b] Impressive. He sends Niner back to his housing unit, which also connects to the rest of the ship's systems, in order to run diagnostics and confirm repairs. The lead engineer asked him once more as to what needed repairing as the rest of his party dematerialzed. As they teleported back to the Quatis ship, Meta could hear their arrogant scoffing and chuckling, now very audible. If given the chance, he would be very happy to be able to put a plasma round between their eyes. As the rest dissapeared, the last engineer told him about large amounts of energy emminating from his ship, and how that same energy was found when their planet was destroyed. That would seem impossible, as the Tempest was very well just a heap of floating metal waiting to be blasted for the past several hours. It took him but a few seconds to deduce what had happened, everything he had just witnessed pointed to it being the answer. [b][i]It was Fanny May.[/i][/b] Of course a divine being like herself could destroy a planet without much trouble, he then wondered if this is how she would "cleanse" the universe and start over, wiping out each planet and each life form one by one. He then notices the engineer's green, seemingly mechanical eyes and sees him pull out his gun, aiming it at Meta. [i]So even their droids are pompous assholes... of course.[/i] He does not seem to react to the gun being aimed at him at all, instead he says in a calm and cold voice, staring at the engineer through the void black visor of his helmet: [b]Meta:[/b] You can put that thing down, I don't know anything about a large energy signature or have any allies here so to speak of. Nevertheless, I can see that your faction is currently in control here, so I will comply. I've told you what I know about the energy signature, what other demands do you have?
