Pat hadn't been able to get any indication of where all that mana had gone, and that was the issue that he was bringing up now.
[I still haven't found the mana. I don't think I'm close enough to the coastline for the scan. If I try to get any deeper into the system, they might notice.]
Mark frowned as Pat's voice came through the comms, and before Mark could say anything, Grace spoke through the comms as well.
[You know, if I was there, then maybe I would be able to do a better job—]
"Not now, Grace."
Mark spoke up in irritation once he realized that Grace wasn't going to be saying anything productive, and Grace seemed to realize that Mark was not playing around and she sobered up as well. The next time Grace spoke up, she had a much better suggestion to give.
[If it's a proximity issue, then maybe you can send a signal booster close to the region. That way you can use it to hop off the signal near the coastline and get a better view.]
