The scanning room was a much wider space, feeling quite a bit like a security room in an airport. There were five lines, each with people guiding the void travelers through the tube and reading out the results.

Despite this, the vibe was more anticipatory, rather than despondent or angry; it seemed many people who could get to this point were getting what they were after.

No one thought twice about Konoka's presence there, and the alien (mottled grey-and-orange skin, looking a bit like an upright lizard with scale lines only subtly catching the room's light) monitoring her respective device's readout even gave a cheery wave when it was the girl's turn.

"Just step right through here, a little to the right - yes, that puts you right in the center, thank you so much-"

The little chamber sealed, and Konoka could briefly hear the void as something resonated with both her and her SCA - and thus, presumably the Star Gazer.

"Now, think of home, and we'll have your coordinates."

Konoka could feel the Star Gazer paying attention, if still quietly. It will all be well, was the sense transmitted.
