The Brothers are surprised to see this fight happening. Six recognises NEWT's from the Dimensional collective, Knowledgeable about their Neutral relations with Surgeon Research, he formulates a plan to get everyone out. As NEWT continues fighting, Six turns toward Ted.
Six: "Ted! Go get the sample! I'll give you the Co-ordinates! I'll distract the Monstrosity!"

After receiving the Co-Ordinates, Ted proceeds to book it to save the Sample. Six doesn't just make Ted go for the heck of it; you may remember He's now Half-Moira after an accident- Which the Dimensional Collective happens to hate. (Given, not pure Moira, but modified as to not be affected by the end of them.)

In the meantime Six takes out his Shottie and removes it's barrel, attaching a different one to the Gun. He then begins firing on the Battlemech aggressively. He calls out to NEWT while firing:
Six: "Seems like we have a common enemy! Let's rip it apart!"
Six then keeps firing aggressively at the mech, but then he remembers...
Six: "Wait... Shields... I'd swear I'm beginning to hate those Fox Tau even more... Hey! Dimensional Collective unit! We can only hit it with melee attacks like this!"

"What do you THINK I'm doing!?" the Exterminator "unit" seems to hiss as it attempts to pierce the Battlemech with the crystal spike.

((If the Battlemech tries to corrupt the spike, NEWT is capable of ejecting that spike, which would mean sticking the battlemech against the outer hull wall of the Faragut, and reforming the hand... like a reptile.))

One of the damaged Scions that has slightly recovered from being crushed by a dropship staggers while trying to get up. Once it manages to realign itself properly, it begins forming a rift connection... one side leading infront of it and another leading to the Dropship that just left.

"Scion-Foxtr-tr-tr-trot-Seven Repoooooooorting, all Collective UnITS, return to-to-to the fleet immedi-immedi-immediately! All surviving, non-infe-- personnel Fol-Follow the R!FT POrtal!"

After escaping onto the Omega battleship, the survivors communicate among themselves, certain Ted and Six will die.
Dice: "Well... That's the end of it. We're home free with the Tau! Celebration 18! Woohoo!"
Whereas Spider and the Tau stare blankly at Dice, Buck is... Doing himself, drinking Three cans of Gauss at once, clearly unconcerned about the consequences of the mission.
Spider: "You sure Buck isn't becoming Gauss like this?"
Dice: "1 Litre."
Spider looks at Dice, Wide-Eyed.
Spider: "Kid better lay off before he hurts 'emself!"
Dice: "I tried earlier. Honestly, I think we need a Straightjacket for the Predator."
Spider: "His parents should have named him that. All the High-Tech Gadgets and all... Ey, feels sorta nice freely talkin' about Oldies Sci-Fi Horror! But first, let's get to the Sphere again. We need to debrief."
Dice: "Agreed. Think I'm getting Nausea."

In a Panic, Six finds a Tau Suicide Grenade on the ground. He then looks at NEWT again.
Six: "Hey! Can your hand Detach? This thing should kill it!"

In the meantime...
Ted walks up to the remnants of the Corruption infestation, violently shaking in pain as a Dirty green patch slowly consumes it. Ted touches it, Which it reacts to by squishing itself in.
Ted: "Sample, Come on! At least pick up the pace!"
The Sample begins eating the Corruption faster, eventually consuming the Remnants. It then Climbs up Ted.
Ted: "Alright. Now we just need a way out of here."

Ted then notices Foxtrox Seven glitching about. He approaches the Scion, Unaware of the Dimensional collective's hatred of the Moira. As he approaches, the Sample Temporarily bonds with Foxtrot, Repairing his systems while connected.
Ted: "Hey! Are you okay? Don't mind that, It won't hurt'cha."

NEWT punctures through the Battlemech's armor and presses it against the outer wall. It holds up the plasma-connected hand, but holds fire momentarily, to allow for a window of opportunity for the grenade to go in.

NEWT: "The spike can detach. Make it quick."

The Scion momentarily locks eyes with Ted, who stares with momentary horror. But something eventually clicks with it, and it shakes its head.

"No time for suspicions - the Collective wants you, your friend and your sample out of here as quickly as possible. T-1 until Black Hole Cannon Detonation. Exit through the Rift, the Dropship on the other side will take you to safety." It maintains the portal a lot better now that it is no longer glitching.

Warping in from a rift formed were 3 zipper vessels, they had the tech to go through rifts without getting ripped apart, behind them the rift closed as they scanned the situation

Then behind them a large lighter Battleship flew through the rift, it also had rift technology but originating from another area, using a different method of rift jumping

Six Impales the now activated suicide grenade on NEWT's detachable spike.
Six: "Now let's finish this #### Already!"

Ted is oblivious to anything happening, so he nods and agrees.
Ted: "I also need to get my brother outta here though. He's fighting a Corruption Mass with a robot titled "NEWT". We still got time, or should we book it?"

The Scion looks towards NEWT and Six, then back to Ted.
Scion-F7: "It may not look like it, but Collective units are literally networked together - I'll tell Newt to send your brother through the portal as quick as possible."

NEWT punctures the center torso of the battlemech when the suicide grenade gets attached, and then a loud engine discharge sounds as NEWT's crystalline spike ejects from its right arm, throttling the battlemech down the hall, away from the portal. The Battlemech scrabbles and scrambles every limb as it writhes in the air, trying to stop the inevitable to no avail. The grenade goes off and the battlemech is torn apart by a spectacular explosion.

Before Six even gets a chance to celebrate, NEWT has picked him up with its free hand, lifting him from the ground suddenly (the Exterminator unit is much larger than a humanoid in power-armor, think Dreadnought to Space Marine from the WH40K universe).

Six: "What the sh-!?"
NEWT: "ALERT: you need to evacuate this ship, immediately. Your friend already has the... 'sample'."
Just as suddenly as NEWT picked up Six, it drop-kicks him towards the portal the Scion is maintaining. As he tumbles, Six (and Ted, if he's watching) can see that NEWT has created a much larger rift-portal for itself, maintained through some projection device through its visor, and it promptly goes through the portal. The last thing they see of NEWT is its tail going through the portal before it closes on itself.

((Portal leads to the Dropship that the rest of the squad is in. Because the Collective are nice like that (at least the Explorer-Class.)))

Six gets up, confused and aching from the painful landing. He gets up and looks at the damage.
Six: "Sh-... Ted? Can I have the sample?"
*Ted looks confused, then sees Six's armour punctured in the Corruption-Rich atmosphere of the Soon to be destroyed Faragaut."
Ted: "Alright, Here you go. Should prevent infection."
(In case you're wondering, the sample is an organism that eats Infectious organisms, Extracted from a Domini Naturae ship that was made just to eat Corruption to collect samples for Terribili.)

The Scion's optical modules begin to expand in worry. It gestures to the portal wildly with one hand, the other still attempting to maintain it.

Scion-F7: "GO ALREADY!!"

Warping in was one small creature, it looked like the corruption, But it didn't corrupt, Instead it had several Bio-mechanical fighters on it, it just watched and waited. The organism didn't try to attack anything, nor did it try to run or corrupt, It just waited

Ted Grabs his brother's forearm and Pulls him through the portal... In the meantime, The BHC's fire. Ted looks at Foxtrot-7 and nods.
Ted: "Wish you and My Brother a good future. The Moira die with me."
He Pushes Foxtrot-7 through his own Portal. as the BHC hits, Everybody's safe... Except for the man who put himself before his people. The last the Galaxy sees of Ted is a Transmission that is just simply:
"The Future before me. Long live the galaxy."

The Surgeon Research Fleet notices the odd ship, but they are under too much pressure to ask questions yet, As the BHCs Fire unto the Faragaut...

Two figures suddenly exit out of a portal into the OMEGA incorporated dropship. One was known by the Surgeon Death Squad almost immediately - Six. The other was an Explorer-Class Dimensional Collective Unit, who was visibly confused.
Scion-F7: "That... was an unexpected maneuver from a partial Moiran..."

Aboard The Dreadnought class from before:

"WHAT THE F@#$ DO YOU MEAN THEY TELEPORTED OFF
HOW THE HELL DO WE GET THEM NOW
WE WHERE PREPARED FOR A DROPSHIP NOT A PORTAL
ARGH CALL THE THING OFF, GET US OUT OF HERE"

with this, the STE forces (currently at this point of the timeline known as the TSC) leave for their home,
With their plan to use rockets to knock an escaping dropship off course and into their hangar being useless.
so for now, the two Tau are still captives.

FIRE!
The Farragut is consumed by the blackhole the BHC firing creates.
The blackhole rapidly dissipates to avoid further damage once the corruption threat has been destroyed

and so, the last ISC ship in existance was wiped from the plane of the galaxy forever...
Marking the true end of the ISC, and the beginning of the Second Tau Empire.

Scion-F7: "Agreed... but... This doesn't make sense! I was more expendable than he was, and yet he... This does not compute!"
Foxtrot-7 got up and huddled itself to a corner in the dropship, computing to itself worriedly.

With the Faragut impending deletion from the universe, most of the Dimensional Collective ships exit the system. The Subcore that stood in the way maintained its position, boosting its force-based engines to compensate for the impending gravitational pull of the black hole. It does not pay attention to the unknown vessel.

Six turns around, looking for his brother.
Six: "The Hell?! Where's Ted?!"
The rest of the squad are visibly confused at Six appearing out of nowhere, without a clue as to what just happened.
Spider: "What in the...? Kid?! How are you alive?! Didn't you only have a minute or two?!"
Six: "This Thing helped me out."
Six Knocks on Foxtrot-7's arm twice.
Six: "But where the HELL is Ted?!"
Dice: "I think I know what happened, Six. And you aren't going to like it..."

The creature would then look ath the ship leave with one of its red eyes

The thing had giant mandibles, something that could easily bite pieces off ships, even heavily shielded ones.

The creature flew at the ship that they were on, halting several hundred feet away. It flew sideways looking at the weapons of the ship and other parts of it
