(@Fedora: Me neither, but the amount of action earlier reminded me of the trailer. @Lux: Pilot's female, but it's no big deal.)

The Bullheads tracking down the fleeing Dawnies called off their pursuit when the van was ditched and self-detonated in an alleyway, removing all trail of the fleeing Dawnies.

"Eagle-1, this is Three. We lost the suspects. They ditched the van in an alleyway and possibly ran off into the sewers, over."

"Acknowledged Three, return on home."

"Roger."

The cops may be happy from the victory, but the sight of the dead and wounded, both friendlies and hostiles, made it bittersweet. A squad of cops found and requested the consultants, including Summer, involved in the fight to stick around to give their statements.

With a lot of gibbed and beheaded Dawnies lying on the ground, there'll definitely be some repercussions. Two nearby cops talked to each other about the whole thing.

"Hey Marsh?"

"Yeah?"

"What do you think of this?"

"... I don't know... We did our job, but... *hurgh* "

The cop known as Marsh was clearly sickened and nearly puked. They're cops, not soldiers; them witnessing something that was beyond a normal shootout is going to put a whole lot of them on administrative leave longer than usual.

Browning and the coworker left their machine gun placements to check out the unconscious Dextera Estelle brought aboard. The 2 cops gloved up before thoroughly searching through head-to-toe to tag and bag any weapons, drugs, and dead-man switches on their person.

"Damn Estelle, nice job bringing the assassin alive! Don't worry..."

The coworker quickly dug through the Dextera's mouth to find and remove a cyanide pill.

"This guy won't be dying anytime soon before we can get some dirt from them."

Browning searched deeper and discovered the Dextera's cloaking device. He carefully removed and inspected the device only to find scratched out markings. They were either stolen, or someone's supplying them. He smiled upon the evidence.

"Lab boys are going to love this. Perhaps we can find a way to counteract against the invisible in the future. Again, awesome work 'Stelle."

The rest of the cops still standing proceeded to lockdown the docks for firefighters, medical staff and forensic scientists to extinguish the flames, collect the dead, heal the wounded, and bag any evidence still intact. The pilot looked down upon the scene and shook her head.

"Damn... How many lives were lost today?"

Browning's mood then immediately went sour upon hearing the pilot.

"I don't know ma'am, but the battle's won for now."

"... I'll find us a place to land so you can regroup with your friends."

The pilot circled around to find a suitable landing spot. She soon found it and landed there.

"C'mon Estelle, let's go find the others."

The two got off the Bullhead to find their group, who were nearby resting and recuperating, accompanied by a few officers. Browning, who is now appearing to be on the verge of breaking down again, spoke up to the whole group.

"I'll ask you guys once, and only once... Who is responsible for the beheadings? I do not care if they were Dawnies, I only want to know the person responsible."

The voice was to where it seemed like he's going to flip his shit if the culprit confesses.

Meanwhile, the coworker in the Bullhead asked the pilot to drop him off at the station so he can book in the evidence and lock up the still unconscious Dextera.

Detective Sykes was back at the station recapping everything from earlier crime scenes. She heard about the intense firefight over at the docks and the police's victory. While she was happy about it, something else was bothering her. Specifically, the now identified Dawnies that were killed in the village ambush. She sat down in the lounge room by herself, almost crying.

Eilwen and Marina have been stabilized and are now resting in ICUs, police and a few AKs guarding them. With the police victory at the docks, everything seems to have calmed down for now.
