Daniel does get out all right, scrambles out immediately after Seth and casts about for any sign of trouble. The entire area still tremors from the occasional missile impacts but he concludes that they're not in any immediate danger. Daniel swiftly crouches to press his sole block of C4 just under the hatch, then swings the whole thing shut. He pulls the trigger mechanism out of his pocket, thumb braced and ready to set the thing off at a moment's notice.

"Okay," he mutters as he rises, one hand dropping onto the civilian's shoulder. "We're set, we just gotta move. Get you somewhere that's, well." He doesn't want to use the word 'safe' because nowhere is safe right now short of Earth, but that's not in the cards right now.

He pauses, scanning the horizon to get some sense of his bearings. They're in the outskirts of the city, very much exposed in the more open space. The denser areas will have the benefit of more ways to hide versus the risk of more rebels. And they can't afford to get too wide a distance margin from the gate.

"All right," says Daniel with a decisive nod, steering his charge toward the not-terribly-distant line of denser cityscape. "We'll see if there's refuge in the city because, honestly, I don't even know if the local military authorities are still standing anymore."
