The Hyperwave carried Katya's message clearly to NOAH, and she immediately got a response. "Understood, Caretaker. Black Star and Eiswolf are on their way. Extract the secondary objective and retreat." There was a moment of silence, followed by the channel opening again, and transmitting to the entire squad: "Sargeant Steinhart is heavily wounded but alive for now. Our scanners indicate that a vast number of Cruxi vessels are approaching the station, ETA 10 minutes 55 seconds. The front gate is about to be blown open, so escape through there. Permission to fire granted once the squad has left the station. Over."

The final Cruxi turret took aim at both Black Star and Ranius, but only a short volley of plasma was sprayed before it was destroyed. Devors dropped his combined payload including the EMP, and the electromagnetic effect passed through to the machinery once it was weathered down by the heavy ordnance, causing the barrier to dissipate. Eiswolf was aiming at the final turret, but then lowered the weapon when Zim got haead of her. "Affirmative. Following Black Star," she spoke in a monotone voice, although Zim recognized a bit of resentment in her tone.

The two Framewerks dashed through the front gates. It didn't take them long to find the infiltration team, as the trail was littered with the remains of Cruxi machinery. By this point the drones have made substantial repairs. Sigma gasped from the sight, having forgotten to turn off her comms, and immediately went to Logic Gate, or what was still left of the machine, and placed it over Eiswolf's shoulders. "We need to leave immediately before the station is blown to pieces. Weissritter, help Neo Angel out. Caretaker carries the Elite Cruxi, Black Star on Atty, and I'll bring LG. Move it!" She shouted, which was shocking of the otherwise calm clone.
