Feiodor initially didn't perceive any issues because Light Point Fortress had briefly extinguished before but then lit up again overnight. Everyone unanimously believed it was likely that the Light Point Fortress was simply tired and took a rest.
He thought this time it was for the same reason and that it would light up again after a night, so Feiodor kept flying towards the last location where the light had disappeared.
However, a night passed, and the light did not reignite; a day passed, and still the light remained off, Feiodor started to panic. Another day and night passed without the light reigniting, and Feiodor had no choice but to stop.
If Light Point Fortress had continued moving during those two days and two nights, it would have traveled a great distance. If they kept heading to the original point only to find nothing, they would also miss the Light Point Fortress.
