Jorgen uses Snuggles to get to the library faster, and inspects the portal closely. He becomes sure that Gran-Gran’s soul or spirit is trapped beyond the portal, along with Cobb and the old kitsen cytonics. Jorgen quests out with his cytonic senses, looking for Spensa, and gets a vague image of her. He communicates with Doomslug, who gives off a feeling of sadness and loneliness. Jorgen tries to figure out how to enter the nowhere without passing back out immediately, like he does with hyperjumps. Gran-Gran speaks with him cytonically, saying that she heard the voices and hyperjumped to them, only to become trapped with the kitsen cytonics. Jorgen discovers that the portal is locked on both sides, and Gran-Gran tells Jorgen that he is different than Spensa, but still in a good way. As Jorgen focuses on the portal, he gains a grasp of how to open it, and sends instructions to a kitsen on the other side, who helps him on their side. The portal unlocks, and an ancient kitsen hobbles through, followed by a dozen more kitsen. As more ktisen come through the portal, Cobb and Gran-Gran begin to awake, though Kel says that they won’t be in good enough shape to help in the fighting. Jorgen contacts Alanik, who reports a bomber ship, with what Jorgen knows is a lifebuster. Jorgen speaks into Arturo’s mind using his ability, and Arturo reports that the lifebuster ship is heading for Dreamspring. Going out onto the beach again, Jorgen gives orders for Alanik to try and get the lifebuster out and into the atmosphere. Jorgen also offers to let the kitsen senators escape to Detritus using the transport they’d intended for Cobb and Gran-Gran, and assigns a few members of Skyward Flight to oversee it. Kimmalyn shoots down the bomber, and Alanik snags the bomb with her light-lance. She takes it out of range and hyperjumps out of range as it explodes. More Superiority carriers arrive, and this time their pilots spread out to attack other kitsen cities. Jorgen sees that their goal is to make the kitsen pay a heavy price by inflicting a lot of collateral damage.
