With Vorenus distracted, the militiamen succeeded in killing the alien and releasing Byrne. Outside the complex, the militia had killed one of Vorenus' accompanying Jiralhanae riders while the second was destroyed by two JOTUN machines sent by Mack. However, Loki's data center was damaged during the attack.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 362''</ref> | ||
