Halo CMDR does as Excommunicado told him and decompressed the ship. A few seconds later, the spell was broken and the fire went out. He hears a strange hissing hydrolic noise, he looks back and sees the actual bridge opening up. "Everyone, get out of here, quick!" Halo orders. Him and his forces quickly exited and closed the doors to the control room. Dead minions and other objects flew into the icy vacuum.
"Sir! The docking bay, its opening! Don't enter the docking bay, I repeat, don't ------ahhhrggh..."the com signal went silent. Halo quickly sprinted to the docking bay door, looked out the window, and found all 4 troop carriers floating in space, along with a few other unfortunate soldiers. The droships were still intact and hovering now. "Sir, the docking bay opened. All of the ground forces covering us were sucked out of the ship,"one of the dropship pilots said.
One of the dropships spun around."Sir, you and the others are going to have to jump into the back. I'l drop the hatch, but I can only leave it open for about 5 seconds. We will have to open both the docking bay door and the dropship hatch at the same time for this to work,"the pilot stated. The dropship edged as close as it could to the door. Halo and his forces(consisting of only 8 soldiers left), got in a group ready to jump.
"Ready? Now!" Halo ordered. The docking bay door and the dropship hatch opened in unison. He felt almost breathless as he fell from the ship. He entered the dropship, along with his8 other soldiers. They all quickly grabbed the overhead rails to slow themselves from crashing hard into the -blam!-pit door. Both dropships flew out of the Heart of Fear, and back to the Arcangel2. His concentration slowly came back to him. With this detonator, he can destroy DaEIAITH2's any time now. He chose to hand it over to Dolorous when he gets back to Auir to let him decide the fate of DaEIAITH2's ship.
"Pink Menace and lieut_pat, I've setup the 2 Shiva warheads. I can detonate them now, but I've decided to give it to Dolorous to let him decide the fate of DaEIAITH2's ship. You can go ahead and explore the ship for salvage," Halo says through the com link.
