Max pulled the Innu back to the Cutter and away from the party for a much more exciting pastime, the analysis of research data, while the majority of the crowd was busy making deals for whatever they had planned in the immediate future.
Almost all of them were focused on technological developments, while some of them were focused on quality of life improvements on their worlds after they had been attacked by the Great Enemy, but at least at this point it seemed that nobody had forgotten the threat that they were likely to return at any time.
That was enough assurance for Max to focus on the task at hand and follow Nico and the research team in to the Cutter so that they could start analyzing the data that had been collected by the test vessel.
There was a bit of interference on the last sample due to the intensity of the explosion, but almost all of that came after the majority of the event was already over and the shockwave hit the ship.
