"Less than a day, yeah. Dismissing me only requires concentrating for a minute on wanting me gone. I anticipate you probably shouldn't do that unless it turns out that Ganon can possess me."

He can do that?

To things which aren't machines, anyway. Now I put it that way it does seem imminently plausible.

"I am not a machine but I could destroy the planet so hopefully it takes him more than a minute to figure that out if he gets hold of me. I am going to go test-fight a Blight which is not in a Divine Beast while Link stays here keeping an eye on a camera feed I will provide of the proceedings to see how it's going."

Link looks confused for a moment.

"Misunderstanding," he says. "I wanted to come here for the travel gate, but I'll go with you to the Blight."

Hold on a second. You're leaving, after coming all this way? How hard is it to tap a magic brick to five terminals?

"We should definitely do that, can you tell us where they are?"

There's a terminal opposite the main entrance down below. It'll give you a map with the others marked.

"Vah Ruta's Blight came out after the five terminals."

The great hero is afraid of Ganon's creations? If you're talking about what I think you are, it did kill me, so I suppose I can't blame you.

"I killed the one on Ruta. But next one I want to have my sword first. Or Cam."

You are more mouthy than I remember.

"I don't want to fight a Blight on a divine beast because it turns out divine beasts can explode and that's bad, I'm going to get one in a place with less collateral damage as proof of concept. Does it need to all be the same slate or can Link and I divvy this up?"

Any combination should work. It's supposed to be different Sheikah Slates, I was told. Multi-factor authentication. Magda modified the system to make it possible to use the same one.

"I'll go this way and you go that way?"

"I'm not prepared. This isn't urgent."

Ganon's hold on Vah Medoh has weakened, since that odd explosion down east. There may be no better time to strike.

"When we're at full capacity is the best time to strike."

"I apologize for the odd explosion."

What was it?

"He exploded Vah Rudania."

The wind howls. The metal landing seems to groan and tilt.

"I'm sorry!"

The wind whirls around. Motes of violet spark through the air. Something grinds and ticks in the machinery downstairs.

what happened to daruk

"I don't know."
