Hals gaze followed the replicants as they left the plaza until the eventually disappeared in the darkness, he stood there a while longer, for a couple of moments only, then went over to Gillian and his companions.
"So, we are using this thing?"
He nodded towards the mat.
"Alright. Fine with me. It doesn't really matter where we start, so long as it's not on the same path as them we should be able to complete both cycles with adequate haste."
Without any further questions, or permissions, asked he sat down on the thing and waited.
He frowned.
"I don't know what, but something is off about those guys, we should move quickly, I feel like it would be better if we arrive back here before them."
...that being said, he eyed Gillian and his companions almost equally as warily, he did not seem to fully trust them either...
In the meanwhile the replicants made their way off into the darkness, if wasn't a straight path they were walking and if it hadn't been for them being Replicants, finding directions, or anything really in this darkness would've been an issue, however, it was an easy task for them, to navigate the swirling abyss they found themselves in.
Considering they had already made half the way there was an obvious choice to make, the others probably had already left the plaza by now...
Would it matter if they sent one theirs back to keep an eye on the central plaza?
On the other other hand, as biased as the mans words were... there was some logic to them.
