It was difficult to spread out his Spiritual Sense very far in this region because of the star paths' fluctuations, and his eyes were still semi-blind so he couldn't lock onto targets further than what his senses could reach, but even so, his ears tended to be quite reliable. For whatever reason, though, this seemed to be a dead zone.
