Suppose you have a pair of portals, one at your base and one a great distance away at a resource you wish to exploit.

Suppose a strait line between the two covers lakes, seas, oceans, and land masses (explored or unexplored).

Suppose you step into the portal at your base and appear at the remote portal.

Suppose there is an enemy capable of dealing enough physical damage to one-shot you right there when you arrive.

Suppose you step back through the remote portal as the enemy strikes. The strike misses you but smashes the remote portal.

Would you arrive back at your base portal? Alive or dead?

Would you drop out somewhere along that straight line between the two portals? Alive or dead?

Are the devs kicked back there is Sweden, drinking vodka, snickering with glee, and eagerly awaiting your outraged post on a Steam forum?

Something to think about.
