Katya was the first to reach NOAH as she pulled her thrusters to beyond safety precautions, causing them to explode; the Framewerk hit the carrier ship's side violently before she turned and hovered it inside. Pieces of armor were left in space, but it was a negligible loss as Caretaker was parked. A couple of drones came and shot energy tethers around the enemy mech and dragged it to the containment unit.
Weisritter was the next to arrive, and had no problems setting Neo Angel carefully next to it.

Finally, Operation Slingshot was executed: Jason, with Paladin's targeting assistance, charged until X-7:s Moonbreaker was beginning to melt from the sheer energy levels, and then made the shot. The round was shot around the precise range of the nearby planet's gravitation, and thus accelerated the slug to incredible force; it passed through the opened front entrance of the base; and pierced through the central reactor of the base. What followed was a chain-reaction of galactic magnitude; A massive explosion resembling a miniature sun engulfed the entire base, and wholly obliterated the Cruxi fleet around it; even the Juggernaut was destroyed, it's parts flung across the universe.
 
Assisted by the shockwave, Black Star shot himself to NOAH and managed some kind of landing before it fell, crashing fortunately on it's front side to avoid too much damage to Serah's mangled machine. X-7 and Paladin were then the last ones to arrive, two mighty Framewerks who were applauded and cheered on by the ship's personnel. Even Ritsu smiled as she put a hand to her hip. 
"Impressive work, Squad Sigma. You have succeeded beyond the mission parameters, and made a decisive blow on the Cruxi. Medics and engineers, what are you staring for! Get to work!"
In the medical bay, another battle was happening, on a personal level. The medics tried to stop Devors, but knew they had to focus on treating Elise's wounds above all else. Elise laid there still, and once her helmet was removed he saw that she had lost an eye. But, in her unconscious state, she was smiling; she managed to see the explosion set off.
