V4 Rescue Operation

The rescue operation by STAR during Version 4 was a major plot point and took place during the latter period of the version. Unlike V3's escape attempt, the rescue was conducted publicly with all handlers still in the game able to take part.

Warning: The summary below contains major spoilers.

Banned Students
Before rescuing anyone, STAR had drawn up a list of 19 students that they would not be taking home with them, reason being they had all killed at least one person without reasonable justification. Those barred from the rescue were as follows: Peter Siu, Alex White, Liam Brooks, Quincy Jones, Maxwell Lombardi, Teo Weinstock, Raidon Naoko, Ilario Fiametta III, Joe Rios, George Leidman, Nick LeMonde, Jimmy Brennan, Reiko Ishida, Kris Hartmann, Ema Ryan, Ericka Bradley, Rachel Gettys, Janet Binachi and Hayley Kelly.

The Cavalry Arrives
One half of STAR's Defense Squad, headed by Jaxon Jeremiah, arrived by boat at the northern beach of the island. There, Jaxon addressed all the remaining students via loudspeaker what their intentions were, and just who was welcome or not. The first student to arrive at the boat was Jacqueline Myrie, followed closely by Samantha Ridley, the latter unsure if she was eligible to be rescued. Assured by Jaxon that she was fine to go, Samantha handed him all her weapons, and the two girls had their collars removed. The next person to reach the boat was George Leidman, who was instantly denied access by Jaxon for his two unprovoked killings. Five more students turned up soon after; Alice Blake with Yelizaveta "Bounce" Volkova, as well as Jason Harris and Nathan Choultard, who were both carrying an unconscious Maf Tuigamala. While Alice and Bounce were told they were good to go, Jason demanded another member of STAR remove his collar so he could go back and find his friend, but was furious when informed that was not possible. Meanwhile, the trio of Joss Joiner, Saul Fetteralf and Sarah Tan had arrived at the edge of the beach. Giving Saul his sledgehammer and wishing him luck, Joss crossed the beach to the boat and had his collar removed. Next to arrive was Mizore Soryu, supporting a barely conscious Raidon Naoko. When Jaxon told her that Raidon would not be welcome on board, Mizore pleaded and then argued for him to be let on the boat, culminating in her slapping Jaxon and walking away, declaring her intention to stay on the island. Helen Wilson arrived at the beach soon after, but collapsed and died from blood loss - caused by the appendectomy she'd performed on herself - before she could reach the boats. Saul was next to approach the boat and inquired upon the status of his friend Garry Villette, knowing him to have killed someone already. Surprised to know that Garry wasn't on their list, Saul set off to find him and bring him back.
