Howdy folks. If my paranoid brain is gonna keep me up I'm gonna share the love.
Right now, if something big and nasty comes through the portal, what if anything can we do about it? We've got sensors galore so at least we'll have good data as the beastie eats all of our faces.
So - brainstorming time. What do you think we should do the next time something pops out of the portal and it's not as benevolent as April?
I've got ideas but someone with very pointy elbows is reminding me that obtaining feedback and brainstorming before I go ahead and implement what I want might be a good idea.
Said pointy-elbowed person is also reminding me that just setting up a killzone is also probably Not On.
I think someone on Team Magic may have set up a mystical ward. Illyana, can I ask you to take a look and judge if the ward's any good? You're the dimensional traveler, after all.

Since I started this brainstorm, here's my thoughts: We isolate the portal chamber. Airlock, independent environmental and power. Airlock entry, strictly controlled. Anything we do put in is gonna have to be reinforced all to the hells and back, we don't want someone super-strong to come on in and breach if they feel like it. Nor do we want someone just teleporting out. No idea how we'd stop someone from just popping off, but lemme give myself a few migraines working on it.
Sensors and all that stay and are good. We still need monitoring data.
Queen of the Pointy Elbows is still telling me setting up a killbox is Not On, but I'm not sure she's right.

I think the killbox isn't a bad idea, but I also suggested a partially sci-fi option that might make it superfluous.
