It happens very quickly. Maybe it won't even be seen, at first. Yet, very early in the morning on Day 177, a black and grey figure will suddenly appear in front of the tree portal set up in the supposed 'safe' area the Ringmaster has set up for carnival members and refugees. The next moment, it's dashed through the portal itself, passing into the carnival grounds unchecked.

This will show up on Peridot's surveillance equipment, and while it all happens very quickly, it certainly does follow a certain individual's familiar tactics and capabilities. Of course, he isn't stopping to say hello.
