Back at the Ocean Base, the conference room fills with people, for a historic moment, at least according to the French Man, has finally arrived. After endless revisions to an already badly scrutinized document, Parker and the attorneys have finally reached a middle ground. Parker holds a pen, the French Man stands next to him on one side, the attorneys on the other side. Other top officials of the company, who are stationed at the base, stand around, there is a photographer at hand, fresh new "ord'dourves" have been prepared. The catering looks fabulous; everyone digs in, except the French Man and Parker himself, who from all the recent stress, have both lost their appetite. Parker reaches down and puts in his very last signature, the room almost vibrates with clapping and cheering noises, there are many station employees as onlookers from the corridor just outside, as the conference room is full to capacity.

The French Man and Parker exit the conference room, they head towards the flight deck in an almost royal procession, marching along, a special show of corporate victory has been prepared for everyone in the station to enjoy and be part of. As the French Man and Parker exit into the flight deck, an RDA flag
is raised for the first time right next to the company flag which already stands on the flight tower above. The flight deck fills with cheers and clapping. Parker looks on, with just a mild look of satisfaction on his face, skepticism still dominates him, but he does his best to disguise it.

On the distance and into the sea, everyone on the deck observes the first torpedo vessel loaded with crews and equipment navigate away from the base, barely surfacing above the water, like a giant whale; behind it, the other two vessels begin their undocking ready to depart. People on the deck waive at it goodbye and wish them well, as in Titanic's maiden voyage, for it will be a long trek into the shore and across the land into Hometree. At the end of the flight deck, the Pirate is seen climbing into his Island fishing vessel with many of his men, few of his guards stay behind, he heads back to the Island, since he figures that for now he won't be needed.
