Noflex says the viceroy will regenerate at sunset, at least until the games officially begin. The incident answers Carl's prior uncertainty over whether viceroys are biological while demonstrating their pregame recovery protection.
A bulky alien with a long bone-white neck, blank white mask, and concealed tusked face.
The representative is the Madness delegate and the victim whose temporary death lets Noflex infiltrate the meeting.
