"There's no possibility of another telepathic species somehow activating them, is there? Some Reman are incredibly powerful telepaths...and I know many are still held by Taris."

"I dread to imagine what they plan to do if they can get these weapons to work. Their obsession with the Iconians will be the death of us all at this rate."

"Between Taris and that veruul Sela sending people to look for artifacts it seems they will sift the dirt of a thousand worlds. If none of this is intact I don't see why they bother with it."

"Hirogens again?"

"No other bodies? Any sign of what occurred?"

I have already explained how, e'lev

The choice is yours

You know not what you ask

While you may fancy yourself a ri'kaishaasi I assure you that you will learn the reality is the I am the kaishaasi, there is no shame in you learning your proper place

"The dates seem to range between 2,200 to 2,500 years ago...but it is not certain. We require more time to investigate, however I wished a more expert opinion lest someone decides to cut them apart to peek inside."

Oh, I am sure you do, though I have heard from far too many how I have no idea what they can do...

Rarely is anything new under the sun, but I do enjoy the thought of taming a pet...it has been some time since doing so

I do not believe even a wily little set'leth like you could accomplish such a thing, though it might be amusing to tame you into a proper house pet

"The evidence here seemed as if they believed they would only be gone a short time, according to the researchers. They found ruins, pots and plates laid out as if they had been preparing for a meal before being interrupted. Perhaps whatever happened they didn't believe it was so...final."

"It appeared as if these were placed in stasis and the owners were intending to return for them. What their fate was I do not know, the scientists present were unsure, but they did lead us to a couple of ruins. They were quite friendly, in the end."

"We were alerted to activity on Delnaas by a cloaked probe in the system. Upon our arrival we were expecting that veruul Hakeev setting up new listening posts but instead surprised an Imperial archaology dig...this is what we seized once the smoke cleared."

It would be a fine look

I ask this because at this very moment I have an assortment of what appear to have been stasis held Debrune weapons in the cargo bay of my ship. If you wish to see them it can be arranged
