The Oracle Paths

2After his successful passage, Jake didn't shoot straight down into the depths of the funnel. First, there was something he absolutely had to do.     4

Saros, still trapped on the other side, watched him in bewilderment as he began to palpate the steel wall of the funnel just a few inches below the lower base of the barrier. Was he trying to disrupt the force field by directly damaging its base?     

However, the Oracle Guardian soon realized he was off the mark. Jake's intentions towards the steel coating the funnel's walls were entirely different.     

There hadn't been time earlier because he had other priorities and damaging the Magnetic Resonator was something they must avoid at all costs to succeed in their mission, but circumstances had somewhat changed since.     

Time to eat!
