Chapter 174 Plans, Answers, Dinner
“I’m telling you it just opened on its own,” one of the guards said frantically.
“Does the Traveler working the gate agree?” I asked. I had no idea who they specifically had as I had only met Traveler Thirty-Two, but that implied there were at least thirty-one others.
“I do,” said a purple cone that had suddenly appeared floating in front of me.
“I assume you are the Traveler core in your manifested form?” I asked, looking them over. There was no face at all on the cone, and the voice had seemed to just emanate from the shape. Did all the Traveler cores form something similar?
“I am, I am Traveler Twenty Nine, and I am glad that if we have to flee this world, it is to one friendly to dungeon cores. But to the point at hand. The chaotic space horror was able to use the trace mana signatures to force the gate back open. I do not know that I am strong enough to stop it from happening again,” the core replied.
“Would another core help?” I asked. I was sure Beta would be glad to do so. Likely overly so.
“Perhaps,” they replied.

Let me know immediately if anything strange happens. >Beta: Strange how? >Dave: If the gate still opens, anyone trying to open it, any monsters showing up, or anything like that, tell Gamma or me immediately. >Beta: But I can still fight them, too, right? >Dave: Yes. But we need to know in order to join in the defense. >Beta: For the Empire!
