that makes sense! icly it could still be hilarious to have him unavoidably work with the affected because ... well, a lot of the affected are also the chemists/mages involved LMAO i know at the very least lambert doesn't have much of an opinion on him besides "oh it's you" but is also kind of a bully so mild harassment would happen :') if that's something you'd be interested in let me know

otherwise, things are still tentatively forming up on who would want to steer this crazy ship. :|a herbert does have a more modern science to draw on than some others involved so that could be something he could contribute (ie find a better way to administer a remedy)
