@JDR_Industries "Splendid. Our cover story is finalized, and, hopefully, airtight. They will be led to believe the anomaly is agitated by human presence, and will be advised to keep personnel in the area to a minimum."

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley "I have decades of time to cover with you," he says, with a chuckle. "Stories of worlds and people beyond our wildest dreams. Novelists the world over would kill for an opportunity like mine."

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley The doorknob rattles gently, and the door swings open. Immediately, the room feels brighter. Warmer.

He steps in, regarding Caitlyn with his usual electric gaze. His shine, his colors have faded. His coat is worn. Threadbare.

"Your survival was never in doubt."

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley He glances down at himself.

"This warrants an... overhaul, I believe. From my perspective, I'm well overdue," he says, with a chuckle.

"Besides, witnessing the technology of other worlds has granted... inspiration."

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley "...I see."

He seems to follow her gaze. "If Demacia is host to such unrest, gaining access may prove... difficult." He turns to Caitlyn. "The fact remains... I am a living weapon. One fueled by /magic,/ no less."

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley His antennae sink.

"...How has the Prince fared through all of this?"

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley For a moment, she sees the light in his eyes fade. An almost unnoticeable event that she knows indicates shock.

"King Jarvan... is dead?"

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley "The incursion of our... 'visitor' into the countryside."

His antennae twitch.

"Rest assured, Miss Ravenblack remains accounted for."

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley "..." His antennae bristle. "For Joyce's sake, let's hope for leniency."

He shifts from one foot to the next. A decidedly human habit, and one he adopted.

"So... aside from all of this," he gestures to the room. "...What have I missed?"

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley "..." His antennae bristle.

"I make no promises of being home by bedtime."

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley His antennae flick. "Piltover's leading scientific authority is just outside."

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley "Perhaps."

"We insist on no military escort, for their own safety. We are highly-trained professionals, fully prepared to deal with dangerous dimensional anomalies."

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley "This is an easily solved problem. After all, we are scientists."

A beat.

"...And many Demacians are easily fooled," he adds, quietly.

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley "As I said. Regrettably."

"Joyce and I will require the ability to move through their territory without interference. Unfortunately, I... realize that this is a tall order."

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley "There are plenty of cautionary tales involving portals to other realms from Icathia alone."

"There is no telling which other spaces her thread intersected, though if anything malign had also made the crossing, it seems likely we would have heard of it by now."

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley > world being present within their borders... particularly one that can be safely traversed."

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley Not a mage in the traditional sense, at least.

"Prudent. In spite of amicable visits with the leadership, the public still takes considerable exception with 'artificial' life. Not to mention, they will certainly not be thrilled about the possibility of an avenue to another >

[Dr. Tangent Cain @TangentCain]

@SheriffCHuxley His antennae sink.

"It's clear that much has happened in the time I've been gone. If memory serves, they are not fond of mages."

"Their overuse of petricite in their architecture makes long-term visitation... unpleasant."
