Most of the survivors of the initial attack fled back the way they had come, through the ruined tanker and the canyon beyond, up to the wall and the Lord's Watch, where they would be safe enough atop the cliffs to rally and regroup. In the meantime, those still trapped by the swarm and the hundreds upon hundreds of frames flooding back into the area attempted to fight a rear guard action to buy time with their last stands for their brothers and sisters to escape. Some, such as the carrier of an Iron Medallion, managed to scale the cliffs and gain a brief reprieve out of the chaos below before they too were cornered and killed. [[Colovance|Lord Colovance]], unable to escape from the tanker that would soon be his grave fought on until he ran out of ammunition, never giving up in the melee that followed against the hundreds of frames, and his own fallen comrades being puppeteered by SIVA like violent rag-dolls against the living until he could go on no further. His Light was not enough.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA|SIVA]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA#Dormant SIVA: Iron Lords 2.1|Dorman SIVA: Iron Lords 2.1]]''</ref>

The rest of the Iron Lords, enjoying the brief respite the sacrifice of Lord Colovance and the others had bought them in their escape, took the opportunity to plan their next actions. SIVA was now a far greater threat than anything they had previously imagined and too great a threat to the City in the hands of Rasputin for them to simply retreat. SIVA and the Replication Chamber they had wished to use for the good of humanity now had to be destroyed to save humanity from its past creations and the dangers they represented. Lady [[Jolder]] would lead a strike force on an alternative route to Site-6 to destroy the Replication Chamber, which included the Lords [[Felwinter]], [[Gheleon]] and [[Saladin Forge]], while the warlock Tinasha-3, known to her fellow Iron Lords as Lady [[Ashraven]] would secure the nearby Bunker Triglav and take command of its artillery overlooking the battlefield. Then, with the bunker secured and the guns online, the Ashraven force would hold out against Rasputin as long as they could to distract the Warmind's forces from Jolder's group while they secretly closed on Site-6 to destroy the Chamber and contain SIVA.<ref>'''Bungie (2016/9/20)''', ''[[Destiny]]: [[Rise of Iron]] - [[Grimoire]]:[[Grimoire:Enemies|Enemies]]/[[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA|SIVA]], [[Grimoire:Enemies/SIVA#Dormant SIVA: Iron Lords 2.3|Dorman SIVA: Iron Lords 2.3]]''</ref>
