"Yes, and lets send a singing telegraph to Barid letting him know that I am back and moving around, shall we? He has sensor stations out there looking for portals, and likely comparing the signatures to known ones of ours, as he WAS in the domain for at least six hours during the Verdelet War. I would rather get out into the open and open one than do it from here. Besides, we also have gotten reports of other constructs being spotted along the intended route, so I wanted to see if we could find them and start redirecting them to the base, or sending them out on missions from their locations."<br/><br/>He gave his daughter a pat on the head.
