Kieran met up with Altair after avoiding the attention his tactless guild members would have brought. They were oblivious to the commotion his reappearance would cause. He had been radio silent for weeks, likely creating a vacuum in the streaming space and a pressure bubble that would erupt.

Altair waved to Kieran from behind a curtain, gesturing for him to come closer.
