Igor's words had some merit. They had been stuck there for quite a while, and the people outside must be fretting. Regardless of the true identity of Stan Sol—whether he was a friend or foe—what was certain was that Stan Sol was also frantically trying to establish a connection with them. As for his motivations, they had no idea.
For the moment, none of Igor's group knew what was going on outside, so the slightest movement set them all aflutter with speculation, especially Kuren and Joseph. However, despite their doubts, they knew they had to continue what they were doing.
Kuren and Joseph exchanged glances, suddenly realizing they had both displayed a rather improper attitude. They shouldn't be stalled like this. They shouldn't waste so much time on one issue. Even with their doubts about Stan Sol's identity, they shouldn't be endlessly fixated on it, nor should they remain idle here.
