THis messes up a bunch of people's prototypes, and XAI begins to triangulate the signal.

The XUSS rotates and scans the entity's design and powers.
One of the Nektann entraps the entity in a block of ice.
The scan reveals the entity to be a mass of incredibly small, near microscopic, nanites. The material is foreign to this universe, matching no records. And the design is incredibly advanced. More so than anything this universe has ever encountered. But something is odd. There is an organic component to the nanites.
Corvus comes to realize that the Nektann are not the robots he fears, and are potential allies. He stutters, "Look, whoever you are, you have to destroy that machine. It must be melted down until there is nothing left, and only then will we be safe from it."
OOC: *COUGHCOUGHCOUGH* No really, I have some kind of cold so I am genuinely coughing.

OOC: *COUGHCOUGHCOUGH* No really, I have some kind of cold so I am genuinely coughing.
"...Melted down?"
The Nektann move into position, then release a precisely timed salvo of energy bolts. The result is that the target has been atomized.

"Yes. That machine is like a virus. It spreads, consuming organic and inorganic materials. It was supposed to heal wounds obtained in battle, but an error occurred in the programming. Instead of healing those it was released on, it...consumed then. Took over their bodies and used them for an army. The only way to be sure they are dead is to incinerate them."

"Every individual atom of that machine has been seperated and scattered around the universe. It is far more thorough then incineration."

"Good enough I gue-" Corvus is hit in the back of the head by Silver, who catches the body before it hits the ground. Silver looks at the Nektann, "Do not worry. He is merely unconscious. If you wish to speak with the Xenobeing more, then you will have to ask permission from my master." Silver allows the E-X to take the body and load it into their ship.

A massive, Manas-like ship suddenly appears in the sky just above Xia.
Inharax's laughter is heard all across the city. "BEHOLD, PROTO! I HAVE PRODUCED THAT WHICH SHALL CONTAIN THE THREAT TO SPHERUS MAGNA!"
Proto appears on the bridge through a portal. "FINALLY. I got held up. Most impressive, I must admit. Operating specifications?"
Inharax turns and regards Proto. "One point two mio long. Two gravitational and laser emitters based on Mata Nui's own hand. Bristling with point defense weapons, prepared to freeze or vaporize Energized Protodermis on a whim, and heavy assault weapons should it choose to hide somewhere. It's crafted from almost every reserve of Mata Nui's skin that we have left -- we crafted every part of it from the stuff. Should Destral fall to the Protodermis... this is what shall remain."

Proto is taken aback. "I knew you had considerable production capabilities, but not this much. In any case, brilliant. I'll begin a planetary survey posthaste to find the largest leak. From there we can calculate the optimal position to - well you know all this stuff already. I'll get back to you when I've got the data."

Inharax does not seem taken aback whatsoever at Proto's statement, though inwardly he is surprised that Xia did not yet have production like the Mangai had. "Understood."

Crimax stares up at the ship, hand hovering over a button marked 'Teleport Barnacubes'. He decides to wait until they're sure the ship is hostile. After all, the cubes might not work anyway, and that... would be bad.

Proto steps through a portal into his lab, which promptly closes.
Even as some of Project Warehouse's factories reconfigure, he quickly alters the Project Universe drones, slapping an omni-scanner and a duplication mechanism on.
One of them is produced above Xia, within sight of Manas One. It duplicates into six, and the six fly out in a circle, duplicating to maintain a relatively even scanning radius density.

The ship hovers for a moment, then takes off zooming for Avkra-Metru.
