Sauron slammed open his commnet as a Hive Wizard, a red miasma surrounding it, entered the bridge. As the Wizard raised its arms and began to chant, the Hive that had been brought down by headshots staggered and rose back up, clawing toward the Guardians.

"That's why you hit the limbs, you imbiciles! I don't care what Avgust said! Just shoot them! We aren't going to get out of here if-"

A roar echoed through the vacuumless parts of the ship. A massive Hive Ogre ripped through the hull above the Guardians, just as the Fist of Mordor slammed in over the Ketch. Steel extract harnesses hooked onto the Guardians, just as the Ogre fired a burst of violet energy toward the extracting team. Just as Sauron neared the hatch of the Fist's troopbay, the Ogre's blast ripped through his tether, sending him spiraling back toward the Ketch. The Exo activated his suit's thrusters, but their fuel had run out. He hit the deck hard, stumbling as he fired at the mass of Hive surrounding him. Sauron's radio crackled violently.

"Sauron, we're sending down another tether! Hang on!"

The Ranger slammed open the channel.

"Negative, negative! Get out of here!"

The Ogre and other accompanying Hive fired on the ship once more, ripping open one of its engines.

"Pull out, Space Party! That's an order! I'll be fine!"

"Sauron-"

"GO!"

As the Fist of Mordor blasted away from the Ketch, Sauron transmitted the data Nevermore had pulled from the Wolves' data banks, and jettisonned the AI's chip in a microdrone, to ensure its survival. As Nevermore's drone passed out of sight, Sauron was slammed over the back of the head by a Knight's fist, and the unconcious Ranger was dragged into the ship, where an uncertain fate awaited him.
