It would make sense. She was able to amplify just the ambient lights of that New York City. Why couldn't she do it on four flood lights?
[ Tim is the first to admit he doesn't know much about Polaris or her nature. Everything he understands is from context and what Alan has told him about the guide aptly named after the north star. Though, now Tim wonders how much Alan retains of that knowledge after seeing him like this.
Loops.
He files it away in his mind later to ask about. Or, do his own investigating on. ]
Well, her guide was in the Dark Place despite Jesse not being there. It might be something like that again. [ Although, his tone implies he doesn't quite believe it himself. It's more for Alan's benefit anyways. ] Though I'm pretty sure nothing of theirs looked like this in Bright Falls.
[ As if to answer Alan's thoughts, Polaris shimmers underneath the point of the black pyramid. A circle with arrays line the circular area around it. Individuals in almost military garb keep others away from the devices. Tim sighs and pats Alan on the back before moving down the stairs and over to the table where a man in uniform is directing some of the other military garbed individuals. ]
No word back from Research? Shit. I hope it's going well. You know, I've had it with Directorial Lockdowns. I thought we wouldn't need one again. [ He sighs and looks up at Tim. ] How the hell did you get in?
A girl named Sable led us here from a Denny's. As crazy as I know that sounds.
Trust me. That is not crazy. But, we're in lockdown. Ward shouldn't have been able to get you in, unless... [ The man trails off the moment he sees Alan. Surprise is on his face, followed by a momentary realization. Then, he sighs. ] Unless Polaris let you in because someone could get in if he wanted. Hey, Alan. Welcome back. Shit, I guess people really do come back.
[ Tim glances between the two then offers a hand. ] Sherrif Tim Breaker.
[ The man shakes his hand. ] Really? Bright Fall's missing Sherrif? I guess I shouldn't be surprised if Alan is with you. Estevez included your disappearance in her reports about what happened last year. Well, welcome back to some kind of civilization. Anyways, I mentioned we're in a lockdown. We have been for the past seventy-two hours by the internal clocks here. So, I'll just have you fill this out, Sherrif... and, Alan...
[ The man goes over to a file cabinet. A moment later he is back with a vanilla filing folder and holds it out to the confused writer. ]
This is yours. Notes to yourself and documents, just in case you... you know. Go missing and come back like you have. Everyone is required to keep it up to date. Sort of like a journal.
