...once the SAM sites were disabled, the Crusade and Mendelev deployed full complements of marines in armor. The Reds, being faced with impossible odds surrendered and powered down their weapons. We managed to take everyone aboard the newly arrived vessels when the enemy commander set off self-destruct protocols on the base, completely destroying what remained of the installation. The IPG probably isn't too happy about that, but most of my crew pulled through. There were exceptions... <<END EXCERPT>>
A set of four Vipers arrived in the bay of the C1 cruiser and landed with a small thud as alloy landing gear made contact with heavy foam flooring. Metallic doors opened up, with resounding grind and hiss, exposing the still armored crewmembers to the brightly lit and spacious chamber. Medical staff and junkers came rushing to the new arrivals, equipment at the ready.
A medic entered the Viper that Fay was in and made a round gesture. "Which one of you has the head? We need to get her to medbay before anything fucks with her CC." He demanded, his tone gruff and a little exhausted.

Esther sat at the bridge, keeping tabs on the marines through the video feed being sent to her datapad. She took a small sigh and allowed herself a small smile. While it wasn't a battle without casualties, at least they'd managed to pull most of them out alive, and the one that was dead could be brought back.
"Kat, send the marines orders to head to Medbay once they're unsuited. No delays, no exceptions." She turned to face the ship AI, her face regaining a bit of it's usual solemnity.
