mute seems a bit confused about the last part, her rage fading slowly before sighing and saying evenly "i do agree with the sentiment, however, what i don't agree with is what he'll do with the weapon after the tyranid are wiped out. we've been through many alliances, many universes, and each time a species has gotten something like a weapon of mass destruction they have not hesitated to turn it on us once we'd helped them defeat whatever force required such a thing. in short, i agree that such a weapon is needed, i don't agree that it should spring only from one source, and such an untrustworthy one at that. i would be much more content were the weapon to come from you nathan" she replies evenly, leveling her gaze on the emperor, most likely shocking him with the trust if he was the sort to not expect it

"if such a weapon exists then we shall destroy it along with all others like it. there are other methods to solve the problem." mute replies evenly as she glares at matt, nathan able to see her rage flowing off of her soul like a physical force, pushing him back into his chair subconciously, giving a hint that the stronger combatants amongst them were beginning to awaken their souls though the catalyst for such a change is unknown. However, her rage also shows that even though he viewed them as monstrous people they did still despise such things as weapons of mass destruction... also, the physical manifestation of rage is also obviously subconcious (in case i wasn't clear enough)

"while we'll be safe from them our allies shall not due to their lack of expediency required to shift planets. unfortunately we also lack effective siege capabilities in order to burn out this infestation. we'll most likely need to work together in order to manage getting through something like this. what can you add to the table?" mute asks evenly, pointing at matt as she asks, her gaze steeled as he could recognize a mind racing with all the calculations necessary to complete such a feat in her eyes.

"good." mute replies evenly, having shown up with a small recording device on the table along with some tea, making a point to pour herself a cup and take a long sip from it just so that matt could be sure it was safe, the kettle being an old fashioned porcelain one while the cookies were still fairly fresh.

"Look. we need this information as quickly as possible, this man needs medical equipment as quickly as possible, and you need to chill the fuck out. we get it, you don't like us, you'd like to see us destroyed and completely eradicated down to the last man, i don't even know why we're still allied with you. if it were up to me, we'd have destroyed the clones at the earliest point available. However, i'm swallowing my opinions and sticking to protocol which means we asses the situation, treat the wounded, and debrief those that are catching up on the situation. i'd personally like to kill the both of you for your obstinance, however, the fact that we just went through so much to retrieve him means i shouldn't and you because you're the emperor of our allies. Now, you can continue being an obstinate asshole, or you can come with us, get a nice warm shower, some nice food, maybe a cold drink, and relax while tweedle dee here gets his wounds treated and explains exactly what those things were" she replies evenly, the squad taking him with them to the residential area, showing them to presumably the captain's quarters with a comfortable as fuck couch, stocked mini fridge, and a working shower with nanites in it to get that nice, cellular level deep scrub

the sergal captain sighs before saying evenly to the comms "enter the way" before there's a sudden disconnect as they land in a station, the space visible to them completely white. The station is actually fairly sizable, a fortress suspended in nothing, the two visitors being offloaded and taken to some comfortable rooms with showers, food, and a medical team to treat matt's injuries, reconstructing the skin along his wound and not even leaving a scar unless he wants one.

"you'll leave when we've finished extracting the information we need from you." she replies evenly as aforementioned process occurs regardless

"currently, your options of leaving are being jettisoned out of the ship's hold or being teleported randomly. come with us and we'll have you debrief us on these creatures, fail to do so and you'll rather suddenly learn what it feels like to hug a star. are we clear?" she asks evenly, the sergals and matt being teleported away to the capital ship that had arrived, matt being scanned and his internal weaponry being disabled before being led to a small room with a shower and some nice food, letting him relax despite basically being a prisoner as the medical team arrives with fresh clothing, his scans of the cloth revealing it was actually functional as armor as well as some rather comfortable clothing, though he could tell that he was incapable of leaving the room without adequate teleportation technology which he was deprived of currently.

"while i respect your opinions, this is not a matter for debate" she replies evenly as she takes out a small button and presses it, an entire fleet showing up within seconds. "now come with us" she adds evenly with her hand out, a dry look on her face as she seems more annoyed than anything at his obstinance
