Meanwhile, Chol Von's crew locate ''Pious Inquisitor'' and make their way inside. Sometimes Sinks, distrustful of the Kig-Yar and only compliant to Sentzke's orders, places the ship in complete lockdown and transitions it to coordinates previously designated by Sentzke. After Kilo-Five locate the ship, Sentzke convinces Sometimes Sinks to allow them to come onboard. However, it is revealed that Sentzke plans to escape, having surmised that ONI would never allow him to go free. Sentzke has Vaz promise to take care of Naomi, in turn giving his word to cease his aggression against Earth. Mal and Naomi board the ship in a different location; on their way to the bridge, they are forced into a firefight with members of the Kig-Yar crew. Chol Von, still adamant in her refusal to give up ''Pious Inquisitor'', finally sets the ship to explode and escapes with her remaining crew. While Kilo-Five escape to their dropships, Sentzke takes a [[Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit]] from the [[shuttle bay]] but stays in range, seemingly at the risk of his own life, until he can ensure Naomi is safe. Vaz requests BB to give Sentzke the file on Naomi's kidnapping to prove him right to his doubting family; BB complies and sends the files to Sentzke's Spirit. BB confronts Sentzke, noting that while the Spirit's conventional engines would never allow him to make it to a safe distance of the explosion, Sometimes Sinks had secretly rigged the dropship with a miniature [[slipspace drive]] which would enable him to escape. However, Black-Box points out that ONI would never stop hunting Sentzke if they knew he was alive, but instead chooses to erase his own recollection of the incident, leaving Kilo-Five to conclude that Sentzke died in the explosion. | Meanwhile, Chol Von's crew locate ''Pious Inquisitor'' and make their way inside.
