Shortly after the firefight, the Ferrets and Blue Team arrived to find the aftermath. Thinking that they were associated with Papa-10, Sloan explained that he had rented Dark Moon a hidden berth at their request and directed the teams to the location on Meridian where Papa-10 and Castor's forces had landed. Though suspicious of the circumstances, the Ferrets and Blue Team followed Papa-10's survivors into an abandoned mine where they helped to eliminate Castor's forces. However, Papa-10 attacked, seriously injuring [[Frederic-104]] and fleeing towards an extraction point suggested by Sloan. Both Castor and Veta managed to hang onto Papa-10's vehicle and Castor succeeded in eliminating two of the operatives, but was knocked off of the vehicle after Veta tried and failed to make an alliance with him against their common enemy. After placing [[C-12 shaped charge|C-12 explosive]] around the cryo-jars, Veta abandoned the vehicle and watched as it met up with a Pinnacle Station utility skiff piloted by Craddog. With the remaining Papa-10 operative pointing an assault rifle at her and unwilling to let them get away with the cryo-jars containing the Tuwa's organs, Veta detonated the explosives. The blast killed the last Papa-10 operative and Craddog and destroyed the cryo-jars, the utility skiff and Intrepid Eye's remote aspect Oriel, foiling the plot. | Shortly after the firefight, the Ferrets and Blue Team arrived to find the aftermath.

In the aftermath, [[Rear Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]] had the Ferrets returned to the [[Mill]] to complete their training and warned Veta that a greater threat was coming that she needed the Ferrets ready for. Additionally, ONI concluded that Craddog had been working on his own initiative to initiate [[Project SLEEPING STAR]] in the absence of any orders telling him to do so. Intrepid Eye avoided discovery as the true culprit, though she was unable to confirm the death of Castor and the destruction of his cell with the destruction of Oriel, one of her oldest and most useful remote aspects. Though [[Rear Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]] ordered Project SLEEPING STAR shut down, Intrepid Eye manipulated the orders so that it continued in secret aboard the ''[[Argent Moon]]'' as the bioweapon project was too important to her plans to be allowed to be stopped.{{Ref/ | In the aftermath, [[Rear Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]] had the Ferrets returned to the [[Mill]] to complete their training and warned Veta that a greater threat was coming that she needed the Ferrets ready for.
