After Megan quickly evacuated the necropolis with Dante's unconscious body, she skipped going back to the NSS checkpoint and ordered the helicopter to pick them up at a different area.
The handlers who had been watching the entire thing were worried for Dante and waited patiently for the helicopter to bring the group to safety.
The warlock was still alive, but he was in critical condition, and as soon as they arrived, he was taken by the Zeta Team's medical team to the infirmary in the laboratory.
Imera, who heard about what happened from Melinda, rushed to the infirmary to check on Dante, scoffing angrily at his stupidity.
Paige, who wanted to know exactly what was happening to the warlock, inquired with Imera and was told that Dante had been afflicted with a condition called "arcane resonance."
It was an illness that targeted people who tried to control a type of magic without the proper attunement or expertise.
