Shane smiled as soon as he confirmed from Cloud that Arial had indeed synchronized with the shelter's main system.
To be honest, he was also worried that this might not work. After all, there has never been an antecedent before. Thankfully, with Cloud's confirmation, Shane heaved a sigh of relief.
After a few moments, when he thought that Arial had finally stabilized, Shane made a suggestion.
"Try activating the eastern barrier's lockdown. Do it carefully, and make sure no one will get hurt."
"I… I will try." Arial then focused, and with a thought—
