Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Or is it Muirkirkian Lightning ready ready to strike in Kiel?
It's that time: It's a Euro Tour Friday, and Cameron Menzies returns to the stage - but this time, off the back a career best run.
Last weekend was...like nothing we've seen in our many combined years in darts.
Two comebacks from 0-4 in three games was both jaw-dropping and nerve inducing - and led to Ryan apologising to his new neighbours for the week following.
Though if Cammy keeps playing so well, it's only the beginning for them...
As mentioned, he trod new ground in Riesa, reaching his maiden Semi-Final on the ET circuit, before being defeated by eventual champion Ross Smith.
It feels, more and more as the weeks go by, that Cammy is finding his destructively good rhythm, and playing at the level that the whole darting world knows that he's capable of.
Tonight is a bit of a symmetrical tie, as he's in competition with last week's other beaten Semi-Finalist - and the man just above him in the race for the Matchplay.
Rob Cross should not be overlooked. He's a World and Matchplay champion in years gone by - but his recent success has been based off being the highest ranked player who's failed to qualifying for European Tours, coming in off the reserve list, and going deep.
A handful of runs like that have seen him propel back into the conversation for majors after a difficult period for the Englishman - who, like Cammy, knows what victory tonight could mean in the long term.
Not that either will be thinking of anything beyond this first round rendezvous, however.
Cammy has the advantage in the form charts, winning three of their last five meetings - including the last two, which were wins at the Grand Prix and ET14 last year.
The match is the third of this evening, live on PDCTV for UK viewers, and via PDC Partners around the world.
So, wish Cammy luck as he looks to shut off the power against Voltage tonight.
And remember - if he goes four legs down, just breathe - it'll be ok.
