With the corrupting influence of the Vorthuul gone, the ship seems to hum back life, the subtle droning of the engines returning. Aurinkar remains unconscious, but alive.
Upon returning to the entrance level, all that remains of the many undead is just dust, the creature undone when the drift bubble collapsed. The bodies of the Pinjatar, Rosm, Kelm and Lipuvae are still intact, and can be collected.
Crossing back through the umbilical, the starfinders return to the Vigilance where Lulora is present, her ghostly form clinging to the material plane one last time. You have done well... the ghost whispers you have finished what I could now. I am thankful that the sacrifices of my crew were not in vain. Farewell, my guardians... with that, she once again fades, this time for good.
In the aftermath, Aurinkar remains unconscious but in the good care of Dr. medevac. Close to the arrival at Absalom station, the Solarian wakes. The lashunta is somber, and barely speaks, and when they speak only talk in mournful tones about their lost crewmates.
Ixthia is ready to receive the starfinder upon their return You have dealt with the threat well, and have helped us gain further insights into the nature of the drift, and the beings that dwell in it.
A sombre ceremony is held a few days later, in memorial of Lulora and her crew, where many of the captain's former crewmates and team members arrive to see her name, and those of her vigilant crew, entered onto the wall of names.
