Hoss stroked his chin as they listened to her story and it seemed something fishy was sure up. Kryner stood, "It's my duty as the Ahtna to do my best to help purge such things on my land, and if you speak the truth there is something evil going on up at that mountain." He said while Hoss proposed,<br/>"I guess I'm coming too, I'll give Charles a shout to watch the bar and if we don't make it back... to send help I guess. Because if we don't stop it someone else is gonna have to be there, he's the only one we can trust." He told them while Danny nodded,<br/>"I survived the winter up there once before... I can do it again." He motioned his hands like he was bolting a rifle, "This time I'm bringing my gun." He remarked while it seemed they were all in agreement.<br/><br/>"Excuse me you wanted to go to Portage specifically, why is that?" Kryner asked her and it was revealed that she was sent up there by the governor himself with express permission to go up on the property since Branch's untimely death and no surviving heir, it went right back to the providence of the LUC and Skyaia. They were going to research what happened up there and so the governor gave her permission as well as her husband.
