>>5193923>Take Prisoners and extract resources. Servitors, Informants, and meat are all useful.>Write-InBring forth the Twins under our personal protection, it is time to test their powers and a theory, as knowledge is the will of the Machine God.
We will bring them to the shards of the crystal as we extract it, to see if they can sense its residual power, and suppress it. Perhaps, like Blackstone, its polarity can be reversed resulting in some handy null Crystals. If not, then it is a test of their latent abilities. They will be kept under gellar field and brought to the nullstone fortress for further polarity reversal experiments.
And we will extract only a handful of those prisoners of military value to continuing the war, who are likely psychic in nature themselves, for eating purposes. The twins here too may keep us safe and learn to deny the alien their powers, and how to becalm the raging emotions of the xenos with clarity and logic.
Of course, this is if they are willing to learn their powers and enhance them. We give the choice, but do not command.
The rest of the place, civilians, structure, etc? Annihilate it.
