Though he also orders that the ships keep their weapons trained on the ship that took the object in case it's tries to flee with it.

Please be careful United Alliances, it would be unfortunate to have a galactic conflict over an unkown and potentially dangerous object, you should stand back and observe the consequences, and let the others fight over it.
"The Ur-Quan would obviously win such a conflict."
After receiving this message, Gen mulled over his choices. He can open fire on Ur-quan forces, quite possibility starting a war, or let them go humiliating the Alliance.The Ur-Quan Dreadnought proceeds to close it's hanger bay doors, and turn back to the main flotilla. A transmission is sent.
"The Ur-Quan do not Yield Alliance Larvae. You may return to your worlds without incident. Do not mistake our mercy for weakness. However if you wish to submit to Ur-Quan Dominance we will accept your flotilla and protect your crews. If you submit you may return with this flotilla. If you do not submit we will allow you to live, for now. Take your choice Alliance Larvae, for if you choose the wrong option this could be your last decision you ever make."

" To most Arrogant commander of the Ur-quan forces, as you have given insult to me and yet to realized that your species are doom to footnote of our history, it would be a stain on my honor to let it go. I request a duel, by fighter craft."
"This is ridiculous. Is my translation device malfunctioning, or did you just seriously suggest that you duel an Ur-Quan? I'm sorry, but have you just recently been uplifted from pre-atomic savagery?""

"Fine, I will give you that handicap, as long as it has a single pilot in it."The Ur-Quan ships ceases motion and transmits. This time with full video. A Ur-Quan face appears in the foremost image.
"This duel cannot be accepted due to the fact that their is no Fighter craft with can contain an Ur-Quan. If you would rephrases the challenge it could be accepted. If small craft under the size of a corvette were allowed I could accept."
Transmission ends but the Ur-Quan Dreadnought remains motionless in space.
[I would like to point out that an Ur-Quan is 10 meters long and 2 meters wide, however this knowledge may not have past to the Alliance, you decide.]
" We Terricans don't give a damn what you thinks, but this roach insulted me, and by his presence in our territory, to the entire Alliance, I can't forgive this.""This is ridiculous.
