You might get that chance, after all, Steve. Because until their backup gets here, there's not a lot they can really do. "Right now? We wait. We've. We've called in back-up," Soldat explains. "We don't even know exactly where this entity is. Or how to contain it. But the Voidtrecker scouts do. We just gotta. Gotta hold down the fort until they get here, keep people on the streets safe."

They wince, and add, "Keep the entity from dumping us all back into the illusion again." Because that is a fear. Their second-worst one. (The first worst one being that Steve and Misty aren't really real, that this is all fake too.)
