Max fired on everything that came out of the wandering portal, keeping the area mostly clear while letting the bombardment do the rest. 

Then, suddenly, the portal was just gone, as if it had never been there.

"Nico, the portal at my end is gone, what about yours? You might have a lot of incoming enemies in the next few seconds." He warned.

"I'm on it. No, wait. My portal is closing as well. All signals from the beacons that we have identified are gone, and it appears that the influx of enemy soldiers is ending.

"Did we get enough data to be able to open our own portals to their hiding spot? I want to know that we have a way out of here once we get this attack under control." Max asked.
