- Ulefric tells Raphael that there were strange radio signals picked up by the radio tower shortly after being repaired, which matched the patterns of Celestial radio transmissions. When he saw the smoke coming from the forest, he knew that it had to be a Celestial invasion and that he needed to assist. He tells Raphael to make sure that the Celestial soldiers are dead.
- Tasked with eliminating the final straggler, Raphael discovers the unconscious Fay Ultin, the surviving Celestial within the squadron that attacked them. He removes her helmet so that he can more easily shoot her in the head. But after seeing her face, he finds himself unable to follow through with his mission. Unable to bring himself to kill her, he instead elects to spare her life, and treat her wounds as best as he can.

It may be dangerous to use interstellar travel due to the Celestial Empire, but the longer they stay the more likely they will die.
