Fools! You don’t know what you’ve done!
You think it’s natural that fleebnorks can be used as an energy source?
It is an *engineered* species. For what purpose? I can only speculate, but
consider this:
Every major starship has at least one fleebnork attached to its hull. They seem
easy to remove, almost a benign nuisance, yet they could easily destroy a ship
if all their energy were released at once. I believe that fleebnorks are
sophisticated bio-limpet anti-starship mines. Each fleebnork could be linked to
its queen on a unique hyperspatial frequency. The progeny fleebnorks may allow
the queen to track the location of all infested starships and send a signal to
destroy them! By capturing the queen you may have initiated the destruction of
countless starships across the galaxy - a horrible catastrophe and the beginning
of a new dark age of space travel. I suspect this also happened in the distant
past, destroying a previous galactic empire as there was no longer any means to
hold it together. The fleebnorks may have evolved since then, but their core
design capability has likely remained intact.
Release the queen immediately! Feed her chocolates! Wax her shell! Say nice
things to her!
Don’t dismiss me as a crackpot! I’m a scientist! I know what I’m talking
about...
(Moonbase Security finally arrives at the Stasis Chamber and tries to haul off
the raving madman... but he suddenly dematerializes.)
