> After a period of ten minutes, when the robot still has not returned through the portal, the rope starts retracting. However, as you do, the rope simply detaches from the portal, surgically severed at the point of contact. Apparently, it's a one-way trip, and the rest of the rope was simply phased out of this existence. If you were to go through this portal, there would be no guarantee of an easy return trip, nor would there be any promise of safety. Sensors can detect no energy moving from this other universe into this universe, but they do pick up a highly powerful energy signature. With an explosive burst, sensors across the lab start bursting. Mithias senses a power greater than he ever has, dwarfing anything that is, and anything that ever was. The enchantment that blocks off this dimension was forged by Alpha herself, and it wouldn't be long before it's arcane guardians became aware of this loophole. Already, the amount of energy concentrated in this area was singing hairs through it's mere existence, and if wielded could quite probably have destroyed the planet itself.

The vampire rightly hesitated and looked over at Bug. "Bug, if we go in there, it could be our end. Whatever this portal is, our entire universe seems to be against it. I say we close it. We quit. Remember, Genocide gave you that item. He wanted us to do this. We're being used like pawns, experiments even." He put a hand on Bug's shoulder. "Don't go in there. Let's stop here and go fight with the others. Maybe we can get Genocide to tell us more, rather than throw our lives away. You have to accept that Drac is gone."
