In preparation for the concert, Hugo smeared purple makeup across his eyes, makeup which glowed phosphorescent in the dim light. After finishing their first song, the band noticed that the audience was paying attention to something in the sky instead of them and discovered a weird light that quickly resolved itself into a spaceship. To the horror of the boat's passengers, they realized that the [[Covenant]] were [[Battle of Meridian|attacking]] [[Meridian]] and Hugo quickly realized that the ship, an {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}}, was heading towards Brume-sur-Mer. As Hugo wondered why Tomas wasn't bringing the boat back towards land, the corvette opened fire, setting the boat on fire and causing it to begin to sink before the corvette released [[Yanme'e]] to kill the passengers. Recognizing that his friends were too panicked to handle themselves in the situation, Dorian ordered them crawl backstage and find Tomas, lying that he had a plan. Dorian eventually jumped from the sinking boat, hoping that his friends had found Tomas who hopefully had a hidden lifeboat to take them back to Brume-sur-Mer or to [[Port Moyne]].{{Ref/Reuse|BBC4}} However, Hugo, Alex and Xavier didn't survive, presumably either killed by the Yanme'e or drowned when the boat sank.<ref name="BB289">'''[[Halo: Battle Born]]''', ''pages 289-290''</ref>

Following his own narrow escape, Dorian was left unsure of his friends' fates. Dorian later explained to [[Saskia Nazari]], who remembered him from the first concert, that he had been covering for his friends so they could get to safety, but was forced to run when more of the Yanme'e boarded the boat and he had to get the hell out. Dorian expressed hope that Hugo, Alex and Xavier escaped as he didn't believe the Covenant had gone backstage, but wasn't sure if they would've ended up in [[Port Moyne]] or Brume-sur-Mer. However, Dorian refused to ask [[Salome]] if they were in the bomb shelter as he didn't want to hear that they weren't.<ref>'''[[Halo: Battle Born]]''', ''page 104''</ref>

A day after the escape of the surviving townspeople from Meridian, word came in that Hugo, Alex and Xavier were amongst those who didn't survive. Saskia and [[Evelyn Rousseau]] began knotting roses for them out of old clothing as an act of remembrance.{{Ref/Reuse|BB289}}
