Kratos paused to watch Castiel walk through the arch, and exhaled as the angel made it through without consequence; it seemed Lloyd's information had been correct. "Good." He finished unbuckling the appropriate belts and then, now wearing just the navy undersuit, loaded his uniform plus all of his metal items onto the conveyor belt.

Time to make the leap of faith, so to speak. Kratos sized up the arch and then walked through it as quickly as he could, some part of his mind still anticipating the electric shock from the previous night. As with Castiel, though, the arch remained dormant, having been appeased.

He made his way over to the other side of the conveyor belt to retrieve his things and begin the process of putting on his uniform again, making a note to wear something else the next time they came to the third floor. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the next teleportation pad, now glowing in anticipation of use. "Let's continue."
