The capture net had malfunctioned as they'd tried to recover the drone, and both the drone and the rack were damaged. They'd continued on for some time with the rack open and the drone jutting out from it because Gordani wanted to put the burning truck as far behind them as possible. As night approached, Blanchard detected no signs of pursuit so they decided to ground the T-bird for repairs. After landing the craft into a space between two large outcroppings of rock, they made camp.
