"Secretary Stewart? The one who came with you earlier?" Chief Luna paused mid-motion. "He's in the medical wing."

[Host, incoming message from Julius!] Shelly's voice cut through his thoughts. [He says the military escort is already fighting against the star pirates. He's requesting a status update on the evacuation progress.]
"Tell him evacuation is underway. Life pods are launching. I'm en route to medical bay to retrieve Secretary Stewart, and then we're getting off this deathtrap."
