Something of note: It's not the airport you should be worried about.
It's the rail lines and highways.
San Antonio is a major hub for truck and rail cargo - mainly because a lot of said cargo going in and out of Mexico goes by way of San Antonio. And Texas has the largest stretch of border between USA and Mexico. Arizona and New Mexico get their share for sure. But the only border to rival Texas's for trade volume is California.
Anyhow, this would mean that we'd need to pop portals on all the rail lines and highways that originally went in and out of the city until suitable replacements groundside can be built. Otherwise that'd be severing a critical trade artery. It's also give people a chance to leave if they don't feel up to the adventure of living on Star Base San Antonio. :V
Oh, and this is not even starting to touch on the headache that will be dealing with the military forces here. Looks like Putin *will* pitch a fit after all.
Rob, I hate to burst your bubble, but at this time no one except maybe the Goddesses know yet that this is a permanent thing. Ben has his suspicions, and he may have made them known to Rob, but it's not reason enough yet to act like the sky is falling, metaphorically speaking.
At the most, this would be a sit down for everyone to discuss the possibility of them willfully not returning to their home universe, and if so which one they'd like to go to instead. Belldandy and Urd would probably sit in to provide input about the possibilities. (Namely, it can be done, but they need to know well in advance who's going where.)
Of primary note: The idea at this time frame is that once everyone goes home, that will pretty much be it - there isn't any plans in place for anyone to go jumping between universes, as that is pretty much what started this mess in the first place. (And here Skuld would give Washu the stink-eye.
)No one is going to know for sure that things have definitely changed until Academy City shows up.
THEN we can have our Major Conference.
