[Normally, Armin would argue that continue telepathic contact is definitely necessary - at the very least for everyone but Riddick himself - else they couldn't be in his palace and still connected to their own bodies. The network is where that connection lies.

Come to that, though, it might be possible for Armin to stay there now, since he no longer has a form to connect to - but if he did, he might be severed from the ghostside network entirely, and all their work would have been for nothing. In any case, he didn't take the time to consider the prospect this much anyway.]

Talk to any ghost, however, and they can relay a message. And it sounds like I'll be riding with Beatrice for the actual confrontation.
