They did manage to figure it out, their solution had come from their original reason for going out into space in the first place; Cassandra. It was an unexpected one, but it was also the most viable. Tehilla s would still be running her mine and Colony even if she was not present, all Cassandra had to do was be physical representation of her authority here. Plus Cassandra and her son Razor were aspirants, Cole was not so worried about his enemies going after those two, they would find that the mother and son were pretty up to the challenge.
But now there was a bit of trouble that Cole had to deal with. Not too long after his talk with Tehilla and their coming up with a solution, Delarosa had popped out of his shadow, having hitched a free ride into his Universe by staying in Cole's bloody shadow. It was a massive loophole, and Delarosa was abusing the hell out of him, not to mention she could see his inventory whenever she was in his shadow.
