The Litharians gave a good cheer to the survivors and a mournful silence to the fallen, but a proper burial for the dead would have to wait.

A collection of soldiers had their guns aimed at one of the fallen aliens who didn't explode like the others. It seemed like it was alive. "I want this thing Psionically and bio-mechanically secured now!" A litharian Captain shouted. They managed to bring the creature back to the science vessel and started to prepare of of the specimen tanks for containment. All the while stripping the alien of weapons and armor.

In space the HAMMERs watched as their prize seemed to consume itself, the poor FERALs who were around it, they couldn't tell if they made it out or not.

But with the enemy gone they began to fly back to the station. Issuing orders to continue grabbing as much data and information from the station as possible. Given the effectiveness of those weapons that became a new priority for recovery, even if they had to detach one and bring it home for later research. "We have chased off the enemy for now, but two of their ships escaped. Expect retribution to be coming. Grab as much as you can, we are leaving within the next few days and this station won't be left behind."
