Also recorded as: Brookes' surrender confrontation
Final confrontation
Brookes descended from Hawk with his pistol and rejected Eastcott's offers of a fair trial and medical help. Cylli appeared between them and declared that she no longer feared him. Brookes fired through her projection and then shot Silver; Eastcott returned fire and struck him in the torso.[1]
Restoration
Brookes was treated and imprisoned. Vidar accepted transfer to Cylli, Echo returned to control of his vessel, and the surviving crew came back aboard. Echo explained Cylli's hidden work and was promoted to Lieutenant Commander.[1]
