By this point, the Surakans had relocated to the underground system of bunkers and were formulating a way to strike back against the Jiralhanae forces.

After learning that her [[Jeff Gass|son]] had been killed in one of the probing attacks, Ellis became increasingly aggressive in her strategies.{{Ref/ | After learning that her [[Jeff Gass|son]] had been killed in one of the probing attacks, Ellis became increasingly aggressive in her strategies.{{Ref/Reuse|ENVOYC8}} Thus, the Surakans enacted [[Operation: BUZZHAWK]], where they would distract *Foebane* with attacks from ground-based artillery and [[Pelican]] dropships while their remaining ships pulled asteroids into a collision course with the cruiser. This plan worked, as the asteroids struck *Foebane* and brought the ship down over the Uldt. {{Ref/Reuse|ENVOYC16}} | ||
While the Surakans celebrated their apparent victory, they were unaware of the fact that Hekabe had excavated and entered the Sharquoi Hive that was buried under the city.{{Ref/Reuse|ENVOYC12}} Using a device known as the [[Vertex]], the chieftain was able to gain control of the Sharquoi, a species of extremely powerful aliens that are controlled through a hive mind.{{Ref/ | While the Surakans celebrated their apparent victory, they were unaware of the fact that Hekabe had excavated and entered the Sharquoi Hive that was buried under the city.{{Ref/Reuse|ENVOYC12}} Using a device known as the [[Vertex]], the chieftain was able to gain control of the Sharquoi, a species of extremely powerful aliens that are controlled through a hive mind.{{Ref/Reuse|ENVOYC15}} As the Surakans attempted to push into the structure, Hekabe unleashed the Sharquoi upon them, quickly overrunning their position and wreaking havoc upon the city.

After the failure of the assassination attempt, Ellis relinquished control of the situation to Lamar Edwards, who ordered the evacuation of the city. He began this by detonating a series of thermobaric mines that were planted around the edge of the crater, slowing down the stream of Sharquoi that were entering the city and forcing Hekabe to retreat back into the Sharquoi Hive.{{Ref/Reuse|ENVOYC20}} Lamar then redeployed most of the remaining Surakan military forces to assist with the evacuation, focusing on getting people away from the city and to various oases and settlements in the Uldt Desert.{{Ref/Reuse|ENVOYC21}} Back at the crater, Ellis rallied the Spartans and Rojka in a last-ditch effort to defeat Hekabe and the Sharquoi.{{Ref/ | After the failure of the assassination attempt, Ellis relinquished control of the situation to Lamar Edwards, who ordered the evacuation of the city.
