To prevent the outbreak from spreading further, General Anderson had already issued strict orders from the very beginning of the operation that no one was allowed to leave Baeldum Planet unless through properly secured teleportation checkpoints. Likewise, no additional support teams would be permitted to descend onto the planet until the main reinforcement arrived.

The crashed Proxima flagship quickly became a temporary emergency base as Emery and the four remaining Grand Magus worked together to contain the situation.
Fortunately—
Not everyone had been completely lost to the infection.
They swiftly managed to identify twenty-two survivors still showing signs of resistance. Among them were six Grand Magus.
