Ah, Krono's made contact with the Manitoban Knights, I see. Though they're rightfully suspicious of a voice in the dark. Let's hope his talent for fast-talking can convince them to help with the Immortal's defeat.
Well, they're definitely not taking any chances with him, are they? A pity Krono's telekinesis can make short work of any locks holding the chains together...
Don't be foolish, sir knight. Who are you to have such an ego, hmm?
Ha, that's be a fine trick. Folded space like that would make Krono's job so much easier. Just carry around a platoon of power-armoured soldiers in a pocket and throw them at people when a fight starts.
Don't tar everyone with the brush of a single reputation, sir knight.
The now-destroyed Miscounts, if I remember right.
He's such an unassuming, non-threatening fellow, of course.
I'd have said it was an ordinary Tuesday for Krono, but it turns out the date is a Wednesday.
True, this is an average diplomatic encounter. Sometimes they go great... Sometimes, Krono has to exit, pursued by a Deathclaw.
The first part is probably easy, the latter not so much.
Ah, damn. That would have made this much easier if the Prince Consort was handy. Then again, why would he be out here on the western border right now?
Of course their fantasy-clogged logic would fix on that.
The real magic would be couching their information in the terms of the locals.
Such is the drawback of a scientific world-view. Although the alternative would probably be some kind of tech-priest, and we know how badly that could go.
Well put, Krono. Well put indeed.
Ah, I didn't think it'd be that easy. At least they're getting to talk fairly.
Not for much longer, if Krono has any say in it.
Good, at least you're sensible about that stuff.
Well, then. They're not going to be happy to hear what the Immortal's scientists were doing...
An entirely reasonable response, given that they fight radiation-mutated creatures among other foes.
A little out of his personal jurisdiction, I suspect. It'd take orders from the crown to send a crusade out that way.
Yup, just as expected. I'm sure it won't take long for word to reach the capital, especially if Krono goes airborne.
Still a fair distance to travel, as it's several hundred kilometres from their current location to the Alaskan border, isn't it?
Good, Krono doesn't even have to go there himself. Let's hope the Queen and her Prince are sensible about this.
No need to carry a fiddly radio when Krono's got mind-speech. The big limit being range, without access to the Sky Walker choir.
Ah, Telekinesis. Great time-saver.
Sadly, that's best against Fey, and Krono is anything but. He's certainly not elvish in the slightest. Nor Elvis-y.
Given how accepting they've been of the magic, I'm not surprised they didn't comment on that part.
Walk where they can see you?
Very sensible precaution indeed. Makes it easier for them to cut him down if there's any treachery even if an unexpected attack didn't hit Krono.
Well, that went well. We'll see if the Knights and the Wardens can get along, but for now, Krono can keep the peace long enough to smooth any initial dislikes, at least long enough to get the Manitobans moving on responding to the Immortal's moves. I at least hope they can cross the distance quickly enough to head off any subsequent tomfoolery from the bad guys...
