: yep, being under the Didact's shields is working.

The issue with that is it can't take into account the actual time. Did it occur to you watching the opening cutscene from The Ark that they'd gone through the Portal At Voi a month and half earlier? It seemed instantaneous because they can't really show that lots of time went by. It's a gameplay thing.

I'm just wondering how long it really took.
