All of the junior admirals gathered around Ironsides, gazes locked on the hologram of Spensa weaving in and out of destructor blasts. All of the remaining flights had been disengaged from the battle for the shipyard, and were on their way back to Alta Base. They would be too late, so all of Alta and Igneous' hopes rode on Spensa.
Spensa counted five hits on the lifebuster when Jorgen contacted her via the general comm line. He asked how she was doing and informed her that he was with Riptide Flight, streaking toward Alta Base at Mag-10. Suddenly, Spensa was hit, on the nose of her ship, disabling her destructors. It was one of the sleek black ships whose commands she couldn't hear. Ironsides informed Spensa she had full authority to shoot the ship down even if it reached the death zone. The lifebuster was one minute away from the death zone, and with no weapons, Spensa resolved to kamikaze into the lifebuster. Ironsides asked what she was doing, and Spensa informed her of her weapons malfunction. Ironsides understood and gave her a solemn wish of good luck. Spensa streaked toward the lifebuster, nose still on fire, when her battered ship finally gave out. The acclivity rings on the bottom of her ship gave out, and she undershot the lifebuster and started spiraling towards the ground.{{book ref|sky1|

Instead of ejecting, Spensa was able to control her starfighter and guide it to the ground. She skidded into the ground just as Arturo informed Ironsides that he, Nedd, and Kimmalyn had successfully stolen their parents' private craft and were headed toward the Krell. Flight Command informed Spensa that a Krell ship was coming to destroy her wreckage, but she told them she was stuck in her straps. The Krell ship opened fire, only for its destructor blasts to be blocked by the shield of a W-shaped large fighter, M-Bot. Cobb called into Flight Command as Mongrel and told Spensa to hang on. Cobb slammed the Krell into the ground using M-Bot's light-lance, then skimmed towards Spensa's ship. Cobb got out and helped Spensa out of her ship, then told her she had to fly M-Bot and go take out the bomber. Spensa told him she could hear the Krell commands, so he told her to ignore the defect, that she wasn't predestined to destroy the DDF, but that she could choose to save it. M-Bot told Spensa he rewrote his code to identify Spensa as his pilot, thus forcing him to follow the commands of his new pilot and fight. Spensa got in M-Bot and fired on his systems, everything but his stealth mode, so the Krell would see her coming.{{book ref|sky1|51}}
She managed to land her ship successfully, despite the damage it had taken. [[Cobb]], piloting [[M-Bot]], found Spensa and gave her control of the ship so she could rejoin the battle. When the lifebuster dropped its bomb Spensa jumped it away to save [[Alta Base]] and [[Igneous Cavern]].{{book ref|sky1|49}}{{book ref|sky1|50}}{{book ref|sky1|51}}{{book ref|sky1|52}}{{book ref|sky1|53}}{{book ref|sky1|54}}{{book ref|sky1|55}}{{book ref|sky1|epilogue}}▼
