The loyal crew is taken by surprise, and unable to defeat the mutineers. Faced with no choice, the captain orders "Dahak" to execute "Red Two Internal"—a command which will flood the entirety of the interior of the vessel with deadly substances; this action will force mutineers and loyalists to the lifeboats, and the vessel will then, acting on other orders from the captain, allow back in the "Dahak" only the loyal crew and blow the mutineers into space. Red Two unfortunately entails the death of the captain as well; no one is unable to command "Dahak" to destroy the mutineers as they leave aboard warships, not lifeboats, nor undo Anu's systematic sabotage of the power generators, intended to kill "Dahak" by starving it of power and thereby rendering it open to conquest by Anu's forces.
