As promised, this is the second puzzle that I submitted for Scojo's imposter contest - where I was given the unenviable task of imitating Agent. Given the limited time frame (a week!) and Agent's talent for creating rather tricky puzzles, I rapidly realized that it was going to be a very tall order - and settled upon something that was more of an homage. I am really happy with the final puzzle - although I freely admit that there are some trickier steps than I would usually go for along the way. Happy solving!

Normal Chaos Construction rules apply: Each row, column, and region must contain the digits 1-9 once each. Regions are orthogonally connected and must be determined by the solver

Remote Sums: A Value X in a cage points to a second value Y located X cells away vertically or horizontally. The number in the top left value of the cage indicates the sum of X + Y. For every remote sum, both X and Y must be in the same region and immediately after Y must be a region border or the edge of the grid. (Note: although X and Y must be in the same region, this does not necessarily mean that all cells in between are in the same region as X and Y as well)
