Making things on DR

Since Harry only has the Intellectus when he is in contact with the island, I'm not sure how that would be possible. I'd like to see it, but creating a "walkie-talkie" to DR I could see having serious trouble. DR being surrounded by water being one of them. It's being set up to hold things in, and hold things out being another.
Harry may be able to find a back-door to all of that, but he'd need some serious time and a need to even know he needs to do something like that.
RobReece:
I'm more curious if he can't find a quicker Way to get to DR... with his Mom's stone and Alfred's help, I'd think it would be possible. The Gatekeeper knows a Way, so did Peabody and his possibly even originated in Chicago. Best would be a permanent portal from his new digs to the island, but I don't know if he'd have the juice to pull that off yet.
wardenferry419:
Yeah, a couple of hours by boat and downtown traffic does not make for a speedy arrival.
Quantus:
Fwiw, once upon a time a fan asked him if the Eternal Silence statue was letting Alfred communicate because it's materials were originally sourced on Demonreach (the questioner mistakenly thought the statue was stone rather than bronze). Jim said something to the effect that would have been a really cool idea, but by that point it was already written into the books that Mab had been facilitating that communication. So while there's nothing cannon in that, it gave me the impression that he views it as a reasonable mechanic, and Id say it's entirely consistent with what we know of Thaumaturgy in general. It likely wouldnt let him tap the Ley Line or expand his Intellectus past the island or anything, but communication shouldnt be a problem. Worst case you build a radio-style paired receiver system; if one side is on the island it is within Alfred's sphere of knowledge, and now that he'd getting more skilled at Languages he should be able to use such a device (might still need a SoI translator, be we know of some)

I apologize, I was imprecise in my thought. I meant that given Harrys shared Intellectus with DR he could build something while still on the island that would work to connect him to Alfred off the island and/or activate defenses on the island. I did not mean to imply that he would utilize the intellectus off the island. I would think that finding a way to activate defenses on DR would be a priority given the events of Cold Days.
