: ..On the other hand, (Apologies in advance, but I'm trying to get in the

Good point. That would certainly explain Tfear's actions even by itself.
: Perhaps they didn't want to completely destroy Durandal and the Boomer.
: Perhaps they wanted to capture it and find out something to salvage, like
: the AI Core, or the reverse-engineered/upgraded technology, which is why
: Durandal ordered us to "Get rid of him". They'd have easily blew
: up his ship, but instead they just infiltrated it.
You are most correct, sir. Durandal himself supports this theory:
The Pfhor clearly intend to capture my ship
intact, and I can't blame them for wanting
to reverse-engineer all the improvements
I've made to their stolen technology. I'd
have erased my seven times table to hear
what the combat technicians on the Khfiva
shouted when they learned I could focus a
particle beam at nearly twice their maximum
range. - Six Thousand Feet Under, Term 6
