I'm still a little ways out from the island, but I'm already picking up powerful magic readings and heavy blot density. This is almost exactly like when we opened the gate to the Underworld. But I've got the Cerberus Gear Mom made me, plus you CB-RS units. I'm sure I'll be okay.

Technician A
Ortho has successfully made entry.
Styx Chief Engineer
We've cleared the first hurdle. Now he'll have to get back out. He's got a maximum operational uptime of 20 minutes.
Styx Director
Right. We'd better be ready to welcome him back. Recharge all technomatic cannons, stat!
