Presenting Slate Star Showdex.

Scott Alexander leans back in his chair. He brings a smooth, hot MealSquare to his lips.

Scott "Slate" Alexander. He’s scholarly. Hard-working. Unflappable. A psychiatrist by day, he leads a double life as an investigator -- and nothing escapes his notice.

“There’s only one thing I don’t understand,” Scott says.

He scowls at the the lizardman.

"Why are you here?"
