Bomb's away

"No, I mean, really, really bad," PRTR-001 growls mechanically, inserting a metallic index finger into a data socket in one of the auxiliary terminals and activating a holographic display in front of Marlan's command chair. The image shows a radiation signature reading of the Strategic Retreat as it departed the Orphic's hangar bay. The thruster gimbals and faster-than-light nacelles show as "hot." Same with the generators in the engine room. But there's also a cylindrical "hot" object in one of the ship's cargo holds. The Phyrrian says: "Coreseeker."
