The Order returned to Toledo and left him for dead. It didn’t matter whether they cared if he was alive or not. They abandoned him, because he was a traitor. And he knew they abandoned him – the Nighthawk's stealth technologies were inactive.
Hindmarsh triaged his resources. There was no food, but there was limited water. He opened his flight deck windshield and floated in the skies inside the Dyson Sphere and began repairing his broken ship where he could. After several days, his ship was working again. He activated his Mirage technology and the optical camouflage. He set off for the Alien jumpgate and arrived back in Omicron Minor. Here, he put the ship to autopilot and instructed the ship computer to get gim out of the Omicrons and back into civilised space. And then, he laid down on his side on his flight seat, and closed his eyes, and didn’t wake up for another 24 hours.
