Some journalists are curious if they'd like to be interviewed!

There is a lot that they can't talk about due to reasons of national interest and personal reasons. But they can answer a few questions.

When did they arrive here? What is their species like? Who are their companions here? Why have they chosen to work with Anitam?

A few weeks ago. Their species is called "human", which do not have castes and only occasionally have wings and magical powers. Most humans only live half as long as Amentans and don't have the same reproductive drive. Humans with their sets of magical powers (wings and some weather related powers) are called skymages.

This lovely green girl is their friend Dana.

Dana is very excited about touring downtown Lina with their friends.

The fourth member of their entourage is called Tama, despite her looks she is not a skymage, but a stormguard.

What can skymages do? How about stormguards? Do they like it here?

Skymages have a series of gifts related to weather control, like controlling the wind, making the weather hotter or colder, etc. Sometimes these gifts come in a stronger form. This is show through the wings. Felix's wings show that he can control fire and Trevor's shows that he controls electricity. And the gifts are randomly selected so they got it different gifts despite being genetically identical.

Stormguards can fly, lift weights (Tama demonstrates this by lifting Dana with a single hand)  and also have an electric attack, which they can use to stun or harm.

They do like it here! And some members of their government have proved themselves tremendously capable and worthy of pocket dimensions. They hope to eventually share it with other competent governments.

Do they control giving it out or does Anitam?

The aliens have final say on who gets it. But they work closely with Anitam to select candidates.

Why are the aliens going public now?

The pocket dimensions distribution turned out well and they decided it was time to do so.

Also, they're feeling a bit cooped up. And what is the fun of solving one of the world's problems if they don't even go out to enjoy (one of) the lovely Linas?

Reporters will continue asking questions until they leave.

They announce that they wish to continue with their tour and leave. Felix sends a message to both Aitim and Isel.

Reporters asked questions. I was so tempted to name drop both of you, but that sounded too blunt.

A bit. Everyone already knows that we came out ahead on the whole thing, it's pretty obvious.

Figured. But if your family ever feels the need to get blatant alien endorsement, call us.

 I will keep it in mind! How'd you like Lina?

It's a lovely city! Every version of it! Loved that park that was repeated four times over with different themes in each dimension. I feel that on top of everything else you guys benefited tremendously over how organized the development could be made across dimensions. And virtual maps that are easy to navigate. Back home transparent plastics were such a boon to cartography.

Because you got dimensions pre-industrialization? I guess that'd make it messier, yeah.

While in here, the worst that happens is you turning right instead of left while looking at your pocket everything for directions.

On Earth you can meander into serious trouble?

More like, there are no dreamshapers going around being public and offering services. So instead of too many portals, we have too few portals which are not always designed for convenience. Which leads to anecdotes like that one time a flustered service-person run up to my family and almost begged my parents to lend me and my twin so we could re-open a portal by hugging in front of it.

That does sound inconvenient!

Terribly. I don't think they use magic to their full potential, but there is a lot of effort to keep pocket dimensions accessible. A dreamshaper could become filth rich back home, even if all they did was create convenient portals hubs.
