He thinks for a moment, turning over those goals.

"So either we find some way to create a multi-universe broadcast message, or we find a way to take the portal with us." The second one sounds much more plausible, oddly enough, since they have at least the start of the process. The portal exists. Inter-world radio does not.

Of course, it'd be even easier to just pick a destination and go. Get out of this hellhole once and for all without a single backward glance. The fact that he's even considering Rosi's "before we leave" checklist says a lot about how the last year has affected him. At the start of it, going home was all he wanted, everyone else be damned. Had nothing changed, he might've already done so by now, choosing that option instead of staying to fight.

But he did stay, and the threat has been destroyed, and now they have time. Now they can solve their other problems at their leisure, instead of under the shadow of certain oblivion.

"If we manage the mobile portal, we can theoretically go anywhere we want. Though effectively warning them against the World Eaters might present a challenge." How would they even get their warning out? Would anyone believe them? Even if they went back to their own worlds to try—

"Do you suppose we're still dead?" The question derails his entire train of thought.
