I wouldn’t normally offer some of this on a wide scale, but if Harrogate’s looking likely, we need to be as well-armed for it as we can. I can also help with explaining how to de-infiltrate people, and if anyone wants help improving their mental defenses I can do that too.

It might also be helpful to have more people who can punch through network barriers – for one thing, there’s the chance they’ll split the group again, and for another, we’ve had network barriers on the same jaunt before. If it happened in Achaia, it could happen again here.

Bridging network gaps works about once a week, and de-infiltrating people… I’ve only ever managed it once on a given jaunt. I’m not sure if that’s a hard limit or if I just didn’t have cause to, but it’d be better to have as many possible openings for de-infiltration as we can get.

Well, it was also the Arcana who did the separating, according to Maria-chan. Not exactly normal circumstances, or anything we can really use as a test. I don't know if that was close enough to the end of the walkabout that they would've bothered with the usual procedure or skipped straight to 'well, everyone will be here soon enough anyway.'

It wouldn't... but I'm not sure if it would just be a network goal. I mean, you'd need to not only be able to pull their mind out but give it somewhere to go.

Wouldn't it just end up back where they are when their bodies are protected?

Making a new body for them, though, that would be pretty cool, wouldn't it? But you'd need enough ectoplasm to actually make the thing. At least, that's what I assume Jaunt bodies are made of. So you'd probably have to be in liminal when you did the trick.

And that might make it difficult if not impossible to get a bead on someone to de-infiltrate them in the first place.

It's an interesting idea, though it may be more trouble than it's worth. Still, if something came of it it'd be damn impressive.
