The scene before them was far worse than they had initially expected.
The entire area had become a giant starship junkyard, now being cleaned up by Mechas dispatched by the military.
The government officials quickly spoke with the military personnel, only then learning of the utterly depraved actions the group had taken before their arrival.

Fair point.
Now, the problem was handling the aftermath.
Government officials arranged for the civilian Starship to return to Harvestfall.
The news had inevitably spread, but it was quickly suppressed.
