In the books, I don't recall Oberstein step up or anything. Beside, a
laser gun can penetrate anything, let alone oberstein's lean body. Of
course, I can be wrong since my books are not here with me. They didn't
check the body because it was still tridition not to bother a dead noble
as a kind of respect. (That is straight guessing) Further, Asbach
surrendered.
Legion, - no, it is not 'sick' to be like Oberstein, he is just being
logical - like any vulcan.
