Suddenly the entire hovership shut down and every light went out, it was complete darkness on the ship, suddenly a blindingly blue light emanated from outside, anyone near a window could see the light, Taeko was outside and could witness what the light was coming from, the light was coming from a portal that started to pour soldiers onto the ship. The soldiers had basic rifles, and wore gas mask with long black trench coats and helmets covering their heads, when they Saw Taeko, they instantly shot at her not trying to be diplomatic with anymore. Taeko fired back at the soldiers hitting two of them, when they were shot, steam rose from the holes that they were shot at. Taeko retreated to some cover while some of the Marines started engaged in a firefight with the steam soldiers. 

Nao noticed the light and gun fire, she felt that something was going awry," Rachel the Marines will need help, give them some support, Jacque can you fight ? If not stay out of it and send Mano in to fight against them instead. You may be immortal like me, but being shot hurts like a bitch." Nao ordered Rachel and asked Jacque, something inside of her made her just take command of the moment and have her order the two, but something made her feel that Rachel probably wouldn't jump at the opportunity to help the marines, but she felt Rachel would probably want some action after what happened to her .
