Lefo nodded his head to EV's suggestions and looked out of the window as well. What she said certainly made sense, but what if you didn't know where you were in the spiral? How could you find the center? What if there were more than one present? After a few seconds he knocked his head with his fist, they missed the most obvious starting point.

"We'll need to go to Center Piece. Everything started from there, your work, the box, Salarishkay's murder, the agents. Everything has Central and the Center Piece written all over it. I have a few contacts there that might help us," well, he thought they would help him. They're also known to be flexible with their loyalties when it comes to money.

"I'll need to go to the bank first for a hefty withdrawal however... I was saving it for another shipment, but this warrants a more dire need. I can't save any more colonies if I'm dead."

Somehow, he was hesitant to go to the door and exit the room. They're quite safe in here, but they're also inexplicably trapped as well... save for that gate that he didn't know where it leads. Comparing to a confirmed death outside that door, he was starting to like the idea of an unknown gate's destination more and more. Gate's could lead anywhere from another part of Ruin to the dark void vacuum of the Sprawl and everything in between.

"Of course... we need to figure out how to get out of here first while staying very much alive."

Lefo didn't like how the odds were stacked against them at all.
