Artic and the members of the group realized what was going on at the time. In particular, the only thing the group members thought of when they saw the creature - if Artic hadn't teleported themselves from where they were. But it was so short that when they saw the creature and thought about it, artic had the chance to do something like this - the creature's words had made them despair.
"Block Teleportation"
With the creature's words, Artic realized that all the transporter forces had been cut off and that there was no irradiation capability. The whole situation was depressing for them. Artic explained his entire situation with his subconscious message.
No one blamed Artic for being in this position. They couldn't even react to themselves.
That's when he started talking to Gargoyle.
"Normally I wouldn't do anything. But you woke me up. How are you going to pay."
