Dagny drew the first blood in that attack: she killed the guard at the door of "Project F" when he would not get out of her way. He was typical of the men who guarded that facility; they were not only incompetent but also afraid to decide even the simplest things. Francisco d'Anconia entered the building and manged to gain the advantage over the two guards inside. From them he learned how many guards remained to deal with: nine in the main laboratory on the second floor, and one guarding the stairs leading to the cellar where the real business of Project F, that being torture by electric shock, took place.

Hank Rearden entererd the main laboratory, with Francisco and Dagny guarding his flanks. Hank Rearden received a flesh wound, but Francisco, Dagny, and Ragnar Danneskjöld (who would swing in through a window) managed to kill four more guards and take the other four into "custody." Francisco let one remaining guard lead him to the cellar door, where he ordered the last guard to surrender himself. Then the four of them raced down the cellar stairs to a locked door.

Ragnar picked the lock. Francisco opened the door and briefly barred Dagny's way with his arm. Then he lowered his arm and let Dagny enter. She saw John Galt, lashed to a mattress and connected to an electroshock generator. John assured them all that he was unharmed, and that he had known all along that his torturers would never deliver a lethal shock. Hurriedly they unbound him and allowed him to dress. Ragnar destroyed the torture machine completely, and the rescue party then took Galt to Francisco d'Anconia's aircraft, which Ragnar had landed nearby.
