The 6503 Warship was using a Mechanical Arm to grip the corpse of the Other-dimensional Creature, but that region of space was extremely difficult to observe at the moment.
Coupled with the immense distance, it would have been almost impossible to notice if not for the Science Vessel's specialized equipment.
So the observer's belief that anomalous energy was "shrouding" the Company-level Warship was not wildly off the mark.
However, the supervisor took another look. Since the equipment was set to high magnification, he snapped irritably.
"This tiny bit of anomalous energy is worth making such a fuss over?"
He felt it was necessary to find some work for this subordinate, lest the man stir up trouble when idle—and interfere with him at a crucial moment.
The subordinate angrily slammed his left fist into his right palm. "Sir... this location is already outside the energy beam's range!"
"Outside... holy shit?" The supervisor muttered dismissively, then his eyes abruptly widened once he understood.
"Zoom out first. I want to see how far it is from the energy beam!"
After observing carefully for a while, he switched the imaging display. Following a second of silence, he immediately shouted.
"Computational power, I need computational power... divert half the entire team's computational power over here!"
This supervisor was only a deputy team leader, and someone immediately voiced dissatisfaction. "Stop messing around. Everyone's busy."
"We've discovered a suspected major target!" the supervisor continued to yell. "If we miss it and the later analysis confirms it, who's taking responsibility?"
That was an extremely blunt thing to say, but if they mishandled matters now, there really would be accountability later!
If nobody had noticed it, that would merely be an oversight—a serious lapse. Deliberately obstructing it was another matter entirely.
The skeptic was also irritated. Everyone thought their
