"Hmm. Let's see." He observes it for a bit. "Hmm... Yes, a metal-cored sword with a cutting edge. Plasma or some other energy is wrapped around the core, held in place by an energy field. And can retract, to its claw like form. I'm not entirely familiar with technology like this though, so I can't understand the circuitry, but I can see how it works in general. The metal isn't something I know, but I know that Zayin would try to seize it if they knew... and if they were willing to probably start a war on Vesuva. They're privy on technology, but even so, I don't think they would be that overbearing."
