As Vince laid down his fighter against the deck, Renato, still maneuvering his Sabre inside the closed hangar bay, aimed for the lights and let the Krakens speak again. The spotlights exploded and the emergency illumination kicked in. The deck got much darker as it was bathed in red. Sparks from the gutted electrical devices added flashes of light to the atmosphere. Vince flew through his fighters canopy and looked around noticing the resulting ambiance. He nodded back at Renatos Sabre with a malign smile.
More marines stormed in from the inner compartments of the ship. Injured soldiers and dock workers were taken away while the rest surrounded the two Sabres from suspended platforms around the deck, training weapons and flashlights at them.
Renato finally made mention of putting down his Sabre, but not before releasing a nuclear mine which Vince threw behind the rank of soldiers. The battleship rocked upon the explosion. Half of the suspended platform detached from the ceiling and fell to the deck, most of the soldiers were projected from it and hit the ground dead or marred. The whole section of the inner hull twisted and shrieked. Immune to the blast, the ghosts heard the whistling of oxygen escaping from cracks in the hull. Emergency blast doors shut all accesses to the deck. Moaning and cries of pain added the final touch to the mayhem.
