You feel you need to do this yourself.
The gateways have already caused a lot of trouble. And you’ve got more firsthand experience with them than anyone in the camp, which might be useful. So you leave Theo in charge of the camp for now, and start picking the rest of your group.
You bring Rudolph along for security, since recent events suggest there might be a fair amount of fighting. Stefan’s excessive enthusiasm worries you, but it’ll probably be even worse if he gets stuck around camp without an outlet. Maybe actually seeing the thing up close will be good enough for him.
The four of you would just be a bare minimum crew, though. You’d feel safer with six to eight, and that’s before considering the humans you’ve still got hanging around.
Maybe you should give some thought as to just what sort of data you’re hoping to pick up, to help you decide who else has expertise you’d appreciate here.

And what animal do Greblings ride when traversing the desert?
My vote is a pack of large fennic fox-like animals. They sleep in burrows during the day, which is why we haven’t seen them yet. They are surprisingly cute.
Barb will want to come along to see after them.
Oh dammit Stefan is trying to drag Gregor into this. Why would you need a demolitions expert??
