Rushing into the bridge of the vessel after Kaillan Veskara she easily outpaced him as she always does. Any defenders at the door never had a chance while the heat and pressure wave of the blast had disoriented everyone else aboard the bridge. She was already engaging the captain though apparently without intent to kill him this time, he decided to not bother with whatever intentions she had with the captain, instead setting about cutting down surviving crew members. Few were skilled enough or armed to challenge him, instead falling like chaff to his blade. Most of the skilled warriors had been sent out to repel boarders with only the handful already faced left as guards. Bridge officers and technical crewmen were no match for his blade.

As he finished the last of his weak enemies he inspected the bridge, very spartan, military, lacking much of the excess of his own bridge though it was mostly mechanically the same. The primary entranceway was now a melted hole, the command platform was several meters away and empty, the captain having been at the helm of his vessel near the control pit. At the helm he found what he had hoped to find here, turning on the ship wide vox be broadcast his message throughout the vessel, "This is Prince Alaistair Godwin Lafayette Captain and Lord of the vessel Dark Desire. Forces of the Imperium, surrender now to the forces of the Dark Gods about you, there is no escape from this doomed vessel. I am your only salvation from doom. Warlord Beraesh, I am currently aboard the bridge, I await you just as I await the end to our conversation we started some time ago. Forces who once served Beraesh, surrender yourselves to the forces of the Dark Desire and be welcomed as future brothers aboard my magnificent vessel."

He smirked under his helmet as he drew out his plasma pistols and loaded in fresh clips for them as well as setting them to maximum power. It was his intent to end this fight in a single blow. There was little cover and so Alaistair stood in the open, both pistols ready and pointed at the door ready for his foe to arrive. Everyone on the ship likely heard the message and given their history he knew Beraesh would be coming for him. Turning to his Eldar companion he spoke again, "Ready yourself, this foew will be far more resilient than we are familiar with."
