Lyra turned around and left Zain behind. She didn't have the heart to stay and watch him die, so she did what was best for herself.
The Extraterrestrial's core was retrieved, and she stored it in a compartment of her Exoskeleton.
She had switched back to the regular mode of her Exoskeleton, which granted a small space in it where she could keep anything, as long as it was small and could fit.
Lyra placed the fist sized Wolf's core there, together with her other stuff. She scanned the vicinity for a moment, her gaze lingering on Zain for a second, before she left.
Her mission was complete, and there was no longer a reason for her to remain behind.
She took the fastest and safest route back to the base, and in no time, she got there, only to meet Damion, Kenzo and Matilda standing still and looking straight ahead.
Lyra moved over to them, but as soon as she glimpsed what was happening within the base, she stopped in her tracks, her heart skipping a beat.
