Sven shakes his head "Nothing..."

"Warning. Critical damage to core. Please evacuate immediately"

He looks at the screen one last time, many escape pods have launched by now, then runs over to the door. After removing the safety cover from a set of buttons he presses the first one and the faint sound of a second set of doors closing the office off from the station can be heard. "Everyone hold onto something!"

The second button needs a lot more force and the launch seems to go hand in hand with one last explosion.

"Prepare for hostile altercations. We can't risk letting any of them away. No matter how they entered the station, they surely exited it right now without getting destroyed"
