    I was hoping the little ship of doom is using unfamiliar tech to transport the people on the destroyed ships somewhere. Mainly because of Ma’ah and the Che’Ta’, and now the Orions. But, I’m leaning more towards destruction, than transporting. On the plus side, I have an astonishingly consistent track record of being wrong when guessing story points. Fingers crossed that my streak continues.

      I think they’ve been hinting that it transports since no bodies are visible in the debris, but a decent amount of organic material, like the wooden spear shaft, has survived.

        I would prefer this, I think, because I’ve been having trouble reconciling a sitcom spending a few minutes most episodes this season racking up a body count that would now be in the hundreds, or even thousands.

        As a franchise, of course, Star Trek can handle both silly comedy and lethal brutality (and even Lower Decks has successfully juggled in a few serious scenes amongst the comedy, at times), but the way these vignettes have been inserted into the A plots this season is like if in “The Trouble with Tribbles” Arne Darvin had been gang-raped just before the credits rolled.

      I thought it seemed like V’Ger’s data storage attack, though V’Ger stored entire ships (even planets), leaving no debris.
