Later, in the battle for the second falling shipyard, [[Cloak]] reported the number of Krell ships to Admiral [[Ironsides]], as well as confirmed that a [[lifebuster]] had also been sent by the enemy. On Ironsides' order, the scouts drove the lifebuster away from the shipyard, and it changed its course to instead head towards Alta, moving faster than expected. With the other pilots occupied, Ironsides ordered the scouts to engage with the lifebuster and its defense ships. They successfully managed to destroy the lifebuster, however, in doing so, the bomb it had been carrying was dropped onto the surface of Detritus, killing Cloak along with eight other scouts.{{book ref|sky1|48}}
