8

Spoor attempts to delay the onset of combat as the final group of female evacuees boards a transport vessel. Simultaneously, his fleet engages an enemy squadron in battle. Jinto regains consciousness and moves outdoors, observing a ship preparing for an emergency launch. He attempts to attract the crew's attention by waving, but his signals go completely unnoticed. In a separate incident, Angusson is submerged and drowns when a massive tidal wave, generated by the force of the emergency launch, crashes into him. The narrative highlights the chaotic and dangerous conditions surrounding the evacuation and the immediate military confrontation.
