Back aboard the ship, they gathered around the crystal pillar, its surface pulsing with faint hues of shifting light. One by one, each of them placed a hand upon the crystal. Instantly, a system notification flickered into view before Galenka:

With the crystal now integrated into the ship's core, there was no longer any need to return to the city or teleport back to the summoning rift. Even if they logged out, they would reappear precisely where the flying ship had last hovered—untethered from the usual constraints of travel and time.
