I read it as a veiled threat that they'd do to the Milky Way whatever it was that they did to Andromeda. (assuming that it WAS the Iconians that did that.... but it probably was.)
Or to phrase it a different way....
I'm not saying it was the Iconians who irradiated Andromeda and Forced the Kelvans to leave, but... it was the Iconians.
It's a Sailor Moon Youma....what do you think it eats?

The iconians ARE powerful. But they indirectly broke a rule of war. They revealed themselves and made known that our efforts are at the least annoying. But if they are SOOO powerful, why warn us? Why reveal themselves at all? why not simply remain in the shadows and crush us? I will tell you. they are worried. Worried that them have mistakenly created the very thing the defeated them before, An alliance of races.
Lets do a head count
Theres the Sneaky Gods,
The warrior race
The humans who always seem to come out on top.
They have an army
We have a scimitar.
And they have managed to TRIBBLE off ALL of us. We are ALL pointing our weapons at THEM. There IS NO WAY this turns out well for them, NO WAY they win this because we may not save the Galaxy but you can be god damn sure we'll aven-
you all know where this is going.
everytime the big baddies show up and SH** gets real, former enemies come together and wreck shop. the iconians are get the ones who are about to have their shop wreck.

There's no guarantee that that was her Hands and not the result of built-in weapons in her ARMOUR.
after all, what do we see for facial features folks? six eyes.
that's all.
just the eyes.
HOW DoES IT EAT?
We do not require those substances which you pathetic little beings call "food." Our power and our sustenance, like our many servants, originate deep in subspace. We need not bother with eating. We surpassed our need for that milennia ago.

You are correct in that you have indeed annoyed us, and, for that matter, that we are gods. However, your Romulan Dreadnaughts* are incapable of doing any significant harm to our vessels. And though I will admit that we have underestimated the Milky Way and its races, I am not exactly concerned that you will be capable of doing us any serious harm. I would recommend, for your own good, that you cease your little resistance and allow us to go on with our... plans. Then, perhaps, we may spare you, for the simple reason of not wasting time and energy. Otherwise, you will be destroyed, swiftly and mercilessly.
*A term I personally find rather amusing, when applied to those particular ships. How are those weak starships intended to instill "dread" in a Kalam't rodent, let alone anything sentient?

One, I did not intend for this to turn into RP, two, the Scimitar probably can't even kill the Iconian Omen-class Scout Ships, three, since when was Captain Jarok the Hulk?
or they are playing us like a concert violin player. Maybe we are being used to keep their enemies busy fighting us. For example, We kept the voth from getting their sphere technology. The Iconians might be manipulating us to use us as a shield against the undine. Perhaps they wants us united to keep the balance of power and ensure no one galactic power can dominate the galaxy and then turn on them.

I assume since they were nearly wiped out one thing the iconians lacked was numbers, hence the playing one faction off against the other. It is all well and good have superior power, but that usually doesnt mean squat against the swarm.
I wonder now if it is moving towards the Iconians having sufficient numbers/offensive tech to begin their own incursions.
Also wonder how much of the back story from the books they will bring in and if this is the reason for the removal of the Q mission. Human/Klingon/Romulan alliance caught in the middle of a willy waving competition between the Continuum and the Iconians could be quite an amusing story arc

So, if we do ever get to fight the Iconians, how are they going to explain a way to win?
We run into battle, maybe with our boffs, (but probably not the way things are going), run up to a single Iconian, and........they zap us dead in half a second......
They have shown them to be extremely powerful. So for us to fight them they will have to make them really really weak.

It's possible that the Iconians have reached the point where there is no distinction between the person and the tech.
I Approve of this post!

Dear Mr./Ms. Iconian
You will be eating those words when we basically send enough ordinance through your Gateways in Andromeda to "Befriend" the whole Galaxy. Please take note that the face made by this fool will be the one you will wear when you realize just how badly you p***ed us off.
Signed,
The entire Alpha and Beta Quadrant.
