The Harmon Building was created for The Harmon Insurance Company during the Roaring Twenties. It is said Jeremiah Harmon had such a fear that the building would collapse and make the company look bad that he spared no expense in creating his "fifteen stories to last a millenia". The fact that The Harmon Insurance Company crashed with the rest of the country just a dozen years later makes the building no less impressive. But the truly amazing thing about the building is the additions. By the time Carter Manning bought it the building had grown to thirty stories. Always the one to maintain both tradition and progress, Carter Manning revitalized the structure. Using innovative techniques to strengthen the lowest portions of the building and replacing some bad decisions, it was determined to be strong enough to extend higher. Ten stories later, the top was capped off by Crusader Citadel. The top four floors were the most modern and technologically advanced in the city.
The structure has become iconic, and a symbol for Center City. It was only natural that Holly Cook's bungie jump occurred from the Harmon. The platform, extending over the intersection of Center and Lake Street, looks as ominous as such a stunt sounds. But it's still not known what really happened to Holly Cook.

Justicar stood on the North West corner of the Center Street and Lake Street intersection directly diagonal from the corner of the North West corner of the Harmon Building ~ The Crusader's HQ.  He monitored his sensors and his Quantum Pulse Particle Sensor's readings while communicating with the Center City Police Department officers to maintain the security cordon redirecting all traffic and civilian pedestrians away from the entire area.  The northern shops closed, the South Hotel  evacuated, and the western food market closed for public safety making the area at the center of Center City almost a ghost town... however there was no stopping the mass of spectators gathering at the cordon at the heart of the city to watch the three Sentinel's ~ Justicar, Winter Herald and Crusader monitoring the empty street intersection where the promotional Jump by Caveat Allure's star model Holly Cook bungee jumped some 24 hours ago and inexplicably vanished in mysterious a flash of blue radiance.

Hikari insisted in patient monitoring of his sensors as Winter voiced his annoyance at the seeming uneventful waiting...

But Justicar waited certain the public safety was at risk if the Sentinels did not monitor the situation thoroughly... despite the current quiet... as Justicar expected, before the storm...

Bellissima was in a bit of shock that she was facing a T-Rex in real life.  Itt took her a couple of seconds to realize she should inform Justicar that he was right about his concern and warn the others as she activated the hands free radio and got on the encrypted LESP channel,   She announced to all Sentinels. Hopefully this warning would be useful for Justicar  and his team at the disappearance site.

Crusader asked quizzically, "Four eyes? I assume that isn't normal."

"That does not match the believed structure of most dinosaurs, no." Winter Herald got on the radio, holding his finger to his temple as he did so.

Justicar did not react from his monitoring but did comment, "...no, not in THIS Dimension!  T-Rex had, as far as fossil record shows ~ at least, only two eyes.  Clearly, at least one of the Dimensional Thresholds is still Quantum entangled to open periodically.  We must wait to see if this Threshold is also still active."

He pauses, "Karl, what is Justicar-PALADIN's assembly progress status? I... may have need of... Larger Support."

+Justicar-PALADIN is currently at 67% completion.+

"Specify ~ Remaining systems still off-line?"

+Currently, weapon targeting systems in calibration-phase, no Weapons or ordinance installed.+

Justicar nodded, "Understood. Prep for deployment anyways... I still may have need of it."

+That is ... Ill-advized Son, but preparation in-progress.+

Crusader put her hand on her faceplate and made a grunt like someone getting a headache. "Have neither of you ever come across the concept of a rhetorical question?" Which was in anf of itself, rhetorical.

"I have certainly conceived the idea of a rhetorical question, and I would presume others have as well." Winter Herald's tone made it impossible to tell whether he was being serious or not. "I do, however, know that these portals are not reopening to our planet, or if they are, it isn't our time and every paleontologist is about to rewrite their understanding of dinosaurs again."

"But this is curious. Why is the one in New York reopening and this one is not? Is it because we are attempting to open it, rather like how the equipment needed to observe subatomic matter causes that matter to behave differently than if we were not observing it?" He would find that a strange stroke of luck if the efforts they had been engaging in to open the gate on this side were insuring it did not do so, but it also meant that the bank might have a solution to their problem.

Justicar was alerted to a new LESP Email from the Phoenix Foundation postulating the data of the Dimensional occurrences and extrapolating a possible timed correspondence.

Turning to Crusader and Winter Herald, "It seems likely if the dimension thresholds in both locations were created by the same device or effect they will have similar periodic events.  I tried to prematurely trigger the event and that is proved ineffectual.  The likely next time this Dimension threshold will open is tomorrow at 11:39 AM ... we can return to base until then and make further preparations."

Justicar will inform the CCPD of the situation and will coordinate with them to maintain the cordon until to morrow when they will return to again monitor the potential threat to Center City safety.

"This is useful information. Finally." Winter Herald noted how much time he had to prepare. "Crusader, how goes the hunt? I believe there is a high probability that FORCE would be a customer of a slaving ring, and would seek individuals capable of replacing the specialized personnel he lost."

Bellissima text to everyone:

Justicar replies across the LESP Secure channel...
