[X] No Virus, No Problem: The Bond-Machina had identified the underlying Logic Virus that had caused the aggression seen and had already developed countermeasures: task them with deploying these measures to repair the corrupted code of the hostile machines. Presumably, once the logic virus had been deleted and their uncorrupted programming restored, the AI of these ships would hopefully agree to parley.
[X] [Occulteks] Play, Counterplay: The Occulteks believed that turnabout was fair play: they wanted to create an Occult Logic-Cage to weaken and manipulate the Virus. An experimental play, certainly, but one they believed had potential based on HexTeknic Principles: fundamentally, after all, a virus was simply a particularly malignant digital spirit. This would allow for both passive and active E-War systems to begin work containing the logic virus.
