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.

Different kind of travel - Limbo does not make nose itch - but wards on Chapel are strong and secure. Do not keep me out but am always aware of them, would probably be contained if had actual intent to cause serious harm. Would like to be surprised you cannot feel them but magic is sick, probably part of what gives headache.

Killzone probably worth as last resort but am willing to just drop ill-intent visitor into Limbo first unless very dangerous.

Can you get them back out of Limbo if we need them? What're the chances of them still being alive?

Depends on how long they are kept there and how much they wander. Time in Limbo is more fluid than up here. If dealt with swiftly, probably yes to both. If drop and forget, more likely no. Or will... adapt.

I'm guessing 'adapting' might make them worse than they were before they got dropped into Limbo?

We should talk about contingencies if that actually becomes necessary.

Sweet, merciful Christ - eXcal's safety stuff is gonna wind up becoming a compendium.

Likely. Long time in Limbo can twist person. Would have to be left there for quite long time or willingly give in to Limbo influence.

What do science lab pictures say... oh yes. Wear correct gear, do not lick, keep hand and feet inside at all times?
