The Soldier reveals his name to be Nical Jakobs, and after great thinking, asks to be brought to the UEG in an attempt to hopefully gain citizenship and join the UNSC after realizing the faults of the UEN. Meanwhile, the bridge is holed up with a small handful of marines taking cover at consoles, a couple fighter pilots with their small blasters firing away, and the captain with their bridge crew protected at the back of the room, some hopelessly trying to bring the ship back online. As the soldiers approach the door to the bridge, there is a click as one of the troopers step on a mine that was set at the entrance to the bridge, hidden by the corner.
