During the conversation, it became clear that the Marine knew far more than Sentzke had even expected him to. However, they were interrupted by the arrival of Kilo-Five's rescue party; namely, [[Sergeant]] [[Lian Devereaux]] and her Pelican ''[[Tart-Cart]]''. At Vaz's insistence, they apprehended Staffan and took him aboard Kilo-Five's ship, {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}}.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 322-324''</ref> To his surprise, he was soon allowed to reunite with his daughter who now served with Kilo-Five. Although furious and disgusted at the UNSC's treatment of her, Sentzke concluded that he would be satisfied as long as Naomi was allowed to decide whether to remain in the UNSC or accept his offer to retire and join her family.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 358-368''</ref> Due in part to her Spartan indoctrination and sense of duty, Naomi chose the former.

Shortly afterward, Kilo-Five were able to locate ''Pious Inquisitor'', which had already been boarded by Chol Von's Kig-Yar crew. However, Sometimes Sinks only followed Sentzke's orders and had placed the ship in lockdown, forcing Kilo-Five to take Staffan along as they entered the battlecruiser.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 397''</ref> Once aboard, Sentzke revealed that he intended to escape in order to avoid his otherwise likely fate of life imprisonment by ONI. He asked Vaz to take care of Naomi, and promised to end his campaigning against Earth in return.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 427''</ref> With the rest of Kilo-Five advancing toward the bridge, Chol Von set the ship to violently self-destruct. While Kilo-Five evacuated to their own dropships, Sentzke took a [[Type-25 Spirit|Spirit]] from the [[shuttle bay]], intending to use the Covenant dropship to escape.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 445''</ref>

However, Sentzke remained in close proximity of the battlecruiser until he knew for sure Naomi had escaped aboard one of the ONI dropships; unbeknown to Kilo-Five, the Spirit had been fitted with a [[slipspace drive]] by Sometimes Sinks, which would allow Sentzke to make it to a minimum safe distance even though the dropship's conventional engines could not.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 462''</ref> Assuming Sentzke had no chance of surviving the explosion, Vaz told the AI [[Black-Box]] to send the ONI file on Naomi's kidnapping to Sentzke in the hope that he would manage to relay it his family and prove his theories right. While sending the files, BB personally appeared in Sentzke's Spirit. Immediately noticing the slipspace drive and deducing Sentzke's true intentions, the AI indicated that ONI would never cease hunting Sentzke if they knew he had survived.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 452''</ref> However, out of both sympathy and trust that Sentzke would stay true to his word and leave Earth alone, BB wiped his memory of the incident immediately afterward; this left Kilo-Five and ONI to assume that Sentzke had been killed in the explosion.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 457''</ref>
