"Got it." Kane disappeared as he Void Stepped away.

Rui turned back, continuing his surveillance of the research facility with Seismic Mapping.

He could sense part of the structure of the facility. Now he planned to circle around it and see if he could stumble into something resembling a secret opening.

At the very least, they could not launch the attack without having a clear means to enter and exit. That would be incredibly foolish and short-sighted and would probably doom the mission. The research facility would probably detect them and would inform the government which would probably send reinforcements. The Commonwealth Duchy of Vinfrana would also become aware that the Kandrian Empire was aware of the existence of the secret research facility.

Rui suspected that even if they themselves could not actively find the entrance to the research facility, they could, at the very least, detect the flow of resources into the research facility. A research facility of this sort absolutely required regular supply shipments to continue operating smoothly.

There were way no way Rui could miss any exchanges in and out of the facility, he had deliberately repositioned himself to the shortest route between the closest urban town that would likely be the location from which the research facility received supply shipments from. If something came, he would see it in a heartbeat
