Trevan handed the man his psychic paper, catching the briefest hint of surprise wash across his face before it was quickly masked by a no nonesense expression, rigid posture, and a salute.

"My apologies sir, I didn't realize they'd sent someone in from headquarters." The man said, his gaze flicking from Trevan to Aubrey and back again.

Trevan shrugged, taking the paper from him and placing it back into his coat pocket. "At ease. Now tell me... what exactly is this place, and why is there a portal leading to it right in the center of town?"

The man relaxed, his arm falling back to his side. "We're not exactly sure sir. The portal just showed up out of nowhere and we were called in to investigate it. My squad and I went about our reconnaissance when some of those large floating creatures attacked us. We held them off for as long as we could, but we were eventually forced to retreat deeper into this hell and decided to set up camp here where it's relatively safe and the heat from the magma lakes down below doesn't affect us as much."

"I see." Trevan said, crossing his arms. "And you haven't tried to leave?"

The mans expression darkens. "No. There's a... creature, humanoid in appearance with blank white eyes. It isn't always here, but when it does appear it always cuts us off from the portal. We've tried to fight it, but our weapons don't seem to have any noticible effect." He sighs. "So here we sit. Slowly running out of supplies and morale."

Trevan nodded solemnly as Aubrey leaned in, whispering, "Shouldn't we help them?"

Trevan cast a brief glance in the man's direction, before turning and pulling Aubrey to the side so they could have some privacy.

"Normally I'd say no, as they aren't my really my problem. But seeing how I'm effectively an ambassador to your reality and people, and how my psychic paper made him-" He discreetly gestured towards the reconnaissance team leader. "believe I'm an official agent from your governments top security agency, I don't think we really have a choice."

The pair turned back to the man.

"Well today's your lucky day..." Trevan squints, even though he had no real need to, reading his name tag. "Ellis. My associate and I will get you and your men out of here as safely as we can."

Ellis nods, readjusting some of his gear. "Thank you sir."

(P.S. I'm making Herobrine the entity as he's more than capable of going from the Nether to the Overworld whenever he likes, but if anyone wants to change that let me know).
