Then, the Blakists departed and informed the Lancers than they could retrieve their dependents on Gibson. Once they landed there, Evelena's DropShip landed, and she was received by Precentor [[Sylvia Elliot]], who conveyed her to the Lancers' dependents, and even sympathized with her, excusing the Blakist actions. After seeing her son, Evelena was shocked to hear him accuse her of having committed war crimes, as the news painted the Lancers as pirates and betrayers. She told him the truth, and he believed her, embracing her.<ref>''This Too Shall Pass'', p. 339</ref> − − The Lancers evacuated their dependents with an escort to keep them safe. Most of them didn't return to [[Outreach]] but returned to Gibson, landing on the Blakist base. Evelena led the assault, facing Elliot. The enraged Lancers made short work of the Blakists, and Haskell defeated the Precentor. Elliot attempted to explain and excuse the Word's words, but Evelena didn't want to listen to her, killing her with a shot to her cockpit. After the victory, the Lancers razed the base and salvaged any useful Blakist 'Mechs.<ref>''This Too Shall Pass'', pp. 340–342</ref> − − Following a post-Odysseus vindication by the [[Mercenary Review and Bonding Commission]], the Lancers were excused for their apparent complicity in the Blakist attack. [[Wolf's Dragoons]] Colonel [[J. Elliot Jamison]] read Evelena a letter from [[Jaime Wolf]], in which he sympathized with her and approved of her actions.
