“I have not spoken any falsehoods to you.” Dr. X said. “Would you rather I come out and speak with you in person?”

705

“…Yea that’ll do.”

Dr. X enters an EVA (Extra-Vehicular Activity) and goes through the airlock. Exiting to meet the entity as he flew like a ghost toward him.

Phylactery almost appeared like a bio-mechanical suit of armour, covered in fins, only their limbs and head were floating
