"this is merely a scouting force. if you wish, i could call in all ships at my disposal? captain, what was the last head count?... thought so. the total would be a fair bit over two hundred as of last cencus taken for this system. Also, you're not one to talk about moving into unwanted territory with too many ships Mr. 'send in the carriers'. i will at least send them to their proper locations though" the sergeant replies dryly, giving him the same treatment he'd given them (even if it was rather exaggerated) as the ships plot a course for Haxagon, entering orbit before launching every scan odin can think of and then more, explaining why so many ships were sent; it was simply faster due to the amount of simultaneous scans that could be run, though epsilon seems to be detected and it's sub routines read, the mention of blink missiles causing the frigates' shields to take on an odd property preventing targeting of that particular weaponry battery type. [disengage hostile intent. we are here on peaceful terms and are merely scanning. if you refuse then we shall begin eradication of all hostiles]

once the clones are prepared troop wise, their raids having most likely earned them a small fleet of their own with specialty carrier ships and upgrades to existing ships using new tech which appeared similar to geo tech but was thoroughly sergal, showing that the wreckage they'd sold had gone to good use in the R&D department.
