Ithika's voice hisses across the mind link with primal fury.  'That thing will open the void if your<i>pet</i>rips it open!  Can't you see that haste has given us no ground?!  You do NOT want to go to that place...'<br/><br/>She sends through a vision of the broken tower, the desert of colorless, lightless stone, the void and the ocean of writhing souls like a roiling sea of torment.<br/><br/>Her new gifts make hiding so natural as to help her all but disappear as she picks her way up the machine to the access tches.  ((Please let me at what point she gets a shot at disabling them, or if she has a better chance of delivering her cloak to Garrett to help him hide-- disable roll's a 25, hide... well, hide was not a 1 so I'm hoping that's ok.))
