	Kronz has been too focused on his laptop that he no longer payed any mind of what Xilfer and Claire were doing. He was thankful that he wouldn't be staying in a retreat house, or some shelter the army planned to put the civilians. Now, he wanted to help his eldest brother. He is not aware of his current condition, and has no plan of worrying about it as he is far too focused on reestablishing a dimensional connection from the data he has gathered from his brother's phone and from the machines Claire's father had in Mount Comet.

He suddenly recalled releasing the tiny timberwolves in the metallic box just to escape her father and two armed men. He was thankful that his eldest brother was skinny and light, else he and Claire would have trouble running away from them. Unfortunately, on the ground, he and Claire were forced to leave Jay behind if they wished to escape her father's men who were waiting for them. They managed to escape, and planned on going back to the town and call for help.

He has been sending messages to his brother both through his email and his phone, but he has yet to receive a response. His latest message has been sent for quite a while now. Instead of waiting however, he decided to try and contact Spike. Sending the purple dragon a message would have been easy like a breeze with his data, but he then found out about those portals were somehow closed. Simple solution, open the passage to deliver the message, he thought to himself. The difficult part was to open it.

He couldn't believe that dimensional portals could be controlled by computers. Though he has a basic theory that maybe a portal machine is installed in the island, and has the ability to open and close portals? If his theory is correct, then all he needs to do is to crack the codes to hack it.

He also thought that maybe it's controlled remotely from somewhere. So, if people that he doesn't know can access it remotely, then so can he. Lines of commands are needed to be sent through the air, and he already traced where the machine is possibly installed when he was still in Mount Comet. He just didn't had the time back then to look for it.

So far, he found out that whoever those scientists are, they are using the machine remotely, while his eldest brother could somehow send a message directly through the portal without going to the machine. That is why he wanted to hack the machine, so he could gain access to the other side of the portal. How it works, he didn't know, but he's eager to find out when given the chance.

He felt like he has already wasted a few hours just by trying to crack the complicated code in his screen. He may be knowledgeable to computers and hacking, but he has never encountered such complicated lines of codes before.

Frustrated, he was about to slam his fingers angrily on his keyboard when he stopped as an idea struck him. If he can't hack the machine, then maybe he can hack the computers that are remotely controlling the machine. An evil grin crept in his lips as he began his work, unknown to him that Xilfer already left the apartment room and Claire was still standing by the window, staring at the island far far away.
