Draiss hummed at the end of the story, as the first survey team hot dropped to where he had come out of the portal. "Where did that fight take place?"<br/><br/>Once he got that information, he directed the constructs to start searching for it, while he began trying to get the lich to focus enough to explain where the idea and design for the 'engine core' had come from. He felt like he was trying to pull teeth, but if he could get that, he could possibly get the lich's help in making a better synthetic engine. He doubted it would ever be as good as a real one, even with the core shards he had, but it would be a good way to power a massive structure, like say... a larger station.
