Nekomata
Telepathy would be an asset, or at least ESP. Coordinating events across far-flung worlds, and even space-time dimensions is a challenge. The only tool at our disposal is careful planning and timing. Petchy, Fitz and Teena intend to draw Gharlane out and bring him here.
Terrific plan, there's only two flaws; we have no idea where Gharlane might be, or what might draw him.
The core plan hinged on the belief that our quarry's agents monitored the media on worlds he targeted. Perhaps he has agents on Klovia who keep him appraised, or perhaps he pops in from time to time and takes a look around. Although there is no evidence any of his agents have a way to contact him, we surmise the former. He always contacts them, as far as we can tell. Evidence …show more content…
We can form a Portal from Klovia to Nekomata and travel through it. Departing Nekomata is another matter. We cannot form a Portal from Nekomata to anywhere. Without access to the cosmic Dark Energy from Nekomata, departure is impossible. Travel to Nekomata is a one-way proposition. Leaving Nekomata requires accessing one of the few natural portals. The cause suggests the hypothesis that Nekomata is somehow in a different Universe. Or a different dimension, somehow rendering the Dark Energy out of reach.
Mobilizing Asheran resources to close those natural portals is Alex'sresponsibility. Nekomata will be our trap. We will lure Gharlane here with intent to kill him. Is this first degree murder? Or self-defense? Whether we kill him or not, we can not leave this place. The security protocol dictates a one-way trip. Once the trap springs, there is no possibility of transport until he's confirmed dead.
That presents a problem; how do we confirm he is dead? And how do we communicate that to the Asherans keeping the Portals closed? The answer is, we don't; Alex has a few contingency plans, but it's not my problem. I cannot know about such plans, if any. Knowledge I lack, Gharlane cannot extract.
A life-sentence on Nekomata is part of the deal I accepted when I accepted this
