Stonewall watchs the battle unfold for a while until the explosion that melted snow for a mile around. He was a safe distance away but he decided that he had better raid the fort to see if there is anything of value.

Alysha comes out of armor lock. A lot had happened since the last time she went into it. She looked around and saw the burnt corpses of thousands of Raptors and hundreds of Chat soldiers. She looked at her EMP hardened tracking device and found Nikolai's body. She checks for signs of life and finds some. Nikolai is breathing. She jolts him awake and they discuss what happened and what the next step is.

Baron Fortunato sees the explosion from his perch by the pelican. He starts up the Pelican and takes it down to Alysha and Nikolai. He stops over the two chatting.

Baron "Hey you two.  Good job.  You managed to out do yourselves.  As for me I am pretty hungry.  How do you guys want to raid that abandoned fort and see what is happening?"

Nikolai "I am game.  But first I have to check on Hollow Tyrant.  That is what Blake calls himself now.  If I survived then chances are he did too."

Alysha "Let him be.  You don't have to kill him.  If noone comes for him then the cold alone will get to him.  Come inside the fort and get warmed up."

Nikolai "You two go ahead.  First I have to check Hollow and then I will grab a bite to eat."

Nikolai heads off with a limp to the other side of the deserted landscape while Alysha gets in the pelican to scout out the base. Both reach their objectives.

The pelican lowers over the fort. Only one of the walls is still intact, the west wall. It provides good cover against the chilling wind though. Baron lands the ship and Alysha gets out and heads to the barracks, the only stable building. The door to the barracks has been destroyed and the roof is not finished but it is home enough for now. Alysha and the Baron feel the cold.

Alysha "We shouldn't stay in here long.  Help me carry the food, water and supplies into the pelican and we will live in the ship."

The Baron does so. He opens the refrigerator and the door falls off.

Stonewalls sees the Pelican descend while he is still a long way out. The steel colored vehicle reminded himself of Chat ships and not of the Kig-yar technology. He readied his weapon as he approachs the base. He only sees two people get out so he feels confident that he will be able to kill them. When he arrives he drops off his supply bag in the pelican and contemplates just taking the vehicle and leaving the likely Chat soldiers to die of the cold. He decides against it when he realizes there is little food, water or supplies in the vehicle.

He makes his way inside the barracks and draws on the Kig-Yar and Spartan when he enters.

Stonewall "On your knees now!"

Alysha freezes. The food in her hands kept her from drawing her gun.

Alysha "Do you even know who you are dealing with?"

The Baron walks up next to Alysha "I am sure that we can work this out."

Stonewall "Wait.  You're a Kig-Yar?  I helped the Kig-Yar defend this thing!" He holsters his gun.

"I am Stonewall, the last of the survivors.  They fought bravely to the last man.  You would be proud."

Alysha and the Baron relax.

Baron "Doesn't seem like you did a good job defending it."

The trio talk about current events while they load food onto the pelican.
