Tahu caught up quickly enough and stopped beside his fellow LEGOtopian. The Docking Bay was unusually busy, cargo ships and military units bustling about, dockworkers shouting commands, a few remaining cleaning crews clearing the last of the rubble from the WR@ occupation. Starbase Rugby was finally getting back to some semblance of normalcy.

But a busy Docking Bay would do little to distract such a cosmically aware pair. By now they had settled into their old ways and remembered how crowded physical reality was. It was somewhat claustrophobia inducing, this having bodies and being among so many other bodies and objects, but no longer overwhelming. No, now that the pair had reached the Docking Bay, they both heard what Onua and Pohatu had, not so long ago:

"If the others were here, they would certainly feel it too. Perhaps our own joy will resonate loud enough for Lewa and the rest to hear from whereever they find themselves...

The guardian is near my friend, and his protection may soon wash over us once more..."

The Toa were wordless. Gali and Kopaka may well have found that which they all sought. But her cry was faint and distant, and after what she claimed to feel was impossible in light of what they had learned in the library. Or was it? They looked at one another, trying to decide whether to pay COM a visit and learn more, or to use Rugby's resources to determine where Gali was and rejoin her....
