The arrival did not go smoothly, as Kaladin's approach to Hearthstone was discovered, leading to a squad of [[Fused]] being sent their way. However, the ship still successfully made landing, delivering the Radiants and picking up the citizens of Hearthstone and other refugees. The first among them was the Herdazian general [[Dieno enne Calah]], who asked that the ship be used to pick up the remainder of his resistance forces, which Dalinar agreed to.{{book ref|sa4|3}}
 
As the evacuation progressed, the battle began to rage in the skies around the ship. The Fused were fascinated by the ''Fourth Bridge'', trying to approach and take a look at its mechanisms.;{{book ref|sa4|5}} [[Zandiel]] was able to gain a good enough look at the ship that he made some sketches of the craft.{{book ref|sa4|14}} Nonetheless, the Fused attack was pushed back and the ''Fourth Bridge'' successfully returned to the air, then began the long journey back to the Shattered Plains.{{book ref|sa4|9}}
 
=== The Fused Response ===

In [[Kholinar]], the airship caused some concern among the Nine who ruled the Fused, leading into a discussion about humanity's newfound technical prowess. It was this conversation that allowed [[Raboniel]] to suggest the plan to invade [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa4|14}} Meanwhile, the ''Fourth Bridge'' arrived on the Shattered Plains, twenty days after it departed. It landed there, letting the refugees off board.{{book ref|sa4|18}}
 
It's unclear what happened with the airship afterwards. [[Falilar]] and Navani both suggested a number of issues to resolve, including fixing the fans and checking whether the weight didn't crack the gemstones; as such, it probably remained on the Plains.{{book ref|sa4|9}} In Urithiru, Navani began workshopping ideas for new designs, though her work was interrupted by the [[Voidbringer]] invasion.{{book ref|sa4|42}} With conjoiner fabrials nonfunctional after Raboniel turned the tower's defenses on the Radiants, the airship most likely remained grounded for the entire period of occupation, as the vertical movement lattice was mounted in Urithiru.{{book ref|sa4|39}}
