...aha! That is a fantastic idea, if I do say so myself... I'm really rather surprised I didn't come up with it, even!

[AH... THERE GOES THE EGO...]

So, if we come under suspicion, we should make ourselves look absolutely as suspicious as possible... and then, we could theoretically have more people on the other side! I'm honestly as glad as anyone that the people who were... ah... taken weren't actually turned to glass, but if it's simply a matter of transportation, then I'm sure we could have people working to get out on both sides!
