Thgasif-Mntud/The General/Thomas-Man
The General was not greatly upset by the fact that they scanned their ship. It was expected actually, but they weren't counting on the scans being deep enough to get a look into their engine technology and weapons technology. They were under orders to keep that away from other powers. Of course they knew what happened the last time a foreign government got a hold of their technology. Everyone knew what happened then. Even if the scans weren't deep enough to get any technological secrets the risk was too great. They had to get the data without causing a diplomatic incident. This means murder is off the table. This left one thing... negotiation.
