They managed to threshold in pretty close to where the heralds were last spotted by the Science Police. They could see them floating up there over the planet, near the rust-colored clouds, looking down on the terrified people of Braal.

They'd explained the situation to the Kwai navigators and the one that had agreed to take them had agreed to do it despite the danger. To make it so the heralds couldn't go through the threshold gates straight to Legion world, they went to a threshold hub outpost first before thresholding to Braal. If they were followed, they'd only find a skeleton crew of volunteers at the otherwise evacuated hub, not Legion World itself.

Now all that was left was for Rich to talk to the heralds and hope that Surfer would pull seniority and agree to take Galactus elsewhere despite Stardust.

And if that didn't happen, the only other thing they could hope was that they could at least walk away.

Because of the risks, Kid Quantum had agreed to Rich's demand that he go without a full squad. That meant it was just him, their navigator, and Grif, of all people.

"I know Kid Q told us that you were coming along to make an extraction if you can, if something goes wrong, but you better damn well pay attention to the 'if you can' part," Rich said sharply to Grif. "If I go down and you can't grab me safely, you and Kraylo here need to leave me behind and run."
