My attention is distracted from the orb as Odin reports the spacestation's destruction, a worrying quick affair. Something that was capable of that rapidly wiping out a space station could quite possibly be a threat to the heavily wounded Odin. As such, I send out all working drones to gather resources from the planet, and I send a single Heavy Combat Drone towards the area of destruction to find out just what caused the spaceship to explode. Amidst the panicked rush, the small floating orb is temporarily ignored, in favor of more pressing matters.

The infiltration drones find themselves in the heavily damaged hallways of Odin. In places the walls have been ripped off, revealing rows of wires that no longer function and who's original purpose is a mystery. The life support doesn't function in this area, and there's a fading red light to signify the danger, blinking incessantly. Small pieces of debris float even within Odin, small bits of asteroids that had found themselves inside of one of the many niches in Odin.The combat drone takes a look at the creature and immediately goes on the offensive, realizing that a creature that devoured metal would soon grow out of control. Flying forward, it delivers a powerful punch, it's fist surrounded in a specially designed repulsive forcefield, as it attempts to launch the creature away from the debris field, focusing fully on offense.

The drone projects an energy field in front of itself, assuming that whatever that glow is, it'd be similar to what the being uses to consume metal. In the meantime, I try and get Odin within range. If the creature got the idea of eating Odin, it'd be torn apart by laser and plasma fire.

Somewhere near the surface of the nearby planet, a spec of white appears.
