as the frigate's wreckage is sent floating through space epsilon is rather suddenly subjected to it's own energy being multiplied, causing a massive overload and sudden, explosive, destruction. with one of matt's ships being clipped from the planet, the laser striking it's energy core and causing a heavy malfunction before another ends it, the sergal's other ships entering a holding pattern at the solar system's border. "you appear to be under the impression that you're in charge of us. you're not. you're a foreign leader conversing with a planetary sergeant. further destruction of my ships will result in total annihilation of all ships entering sergal space. i will not repeat myself" the sergeant replies, epsilon's destruction unable to be traced to anywhere except by speculation, though the method of it's destruction could very easily be attributed to failures in the thermal regulation hard-ware which would be known to happen from time to time rather than an outside source.

The current frigates in the holding pattern run system wide scans, glossing over the 'corpse' of epsilion before the sergeant asks "what was that wreckage there?" ((you know she's not asking about the frigate)) as five move in, firing EMPS to knock out planetary defense systems in sufficient quantity to actually kill off their varinat of fruit flies across the entire system before moving in, being even more paranoid than matt with their approach.
