Quasar

Quasar reaches Carl through Orren's one-time legal workaround and arrives with a woman and living head-tentacle who react emotionally to Donut.

Story so far

The litigation freeze prevents Quasar from seeking the court order normally required to message Carl. Orren decides to circumvent the rule once, provided he can supervise the discussion.

Quasar materializes in the liaison office in a cloud of smoke. He brings a woman wearing a scrolling Goddamnit, Donut! shirt and a flesh-colored, drooling, bow-wearing tentacle creature sprouting from her head. Both companions cry immediately at the sight of Princess Donut.

Appearance

An alien attorney appearing through smoke beside a woman in Donut merchandise.

Role

Quasar's exceptional appearance begins the urgent legal and sponsor briefing blocked by the courts.

Relationships

Orren — Orren summons him and supervises the meeting.
Carl — He regains direct access to his client.
Princess Donut — His companions are overwhelmed upon seeing her.
Crawl Litigation Freeze — It blocks his ordinary communication route.
