Another set of crewmembers are levitated across to a waiting grav shielded splitter blade.

They nervously view aliens and humans alike being brainwiped, not really appreciating fully what is happening to them, only realizing that it doesn't seem to be particularly pleasant.

They arrive at the device, and are positioned neatly between two man-sized beam emitters.

They barely have time to feel the intense heat of the fusion generators powering up, before a gravity shielded beam of superheated plasma passes neatly through the middle of them.
