Near the door, yes. Seventeen days... shouldn't be anyone through here before we come back, if we go out this way.

This gate makes for some interesting questions. If your soldiers can teleport, why do you need a gate at all? First guess is, to move the things too massive to teleport, but these blockages argue against that idea. Is there some other flaw in the teleporters, something they can't move that way but might need to bring in and out of the citadel periodically? Does it damage organics? Destabilize high-energy isotopes? Or are they just putting a deliberate weak spot in their defenses so they know ahead of time where all the would-be invaders will go?
