"If they don't want to be alive with everything medicine and magic can throw at the problem there's a place wished up in Mîr for it. Sometimes people list a series of frankly unreasonable conditions under which they'd agree to be alive and sometimes they can't think of anything. Their choice."

"Land of the comatose depressives," murmurs son-in-law.

"I haven't been, my species works differently. The afterlife arrangement is all right as described?"

"I think so. If it's people born there I guess there's no way to use this territory as an opt-out."

"Yeah, inconveniently it works off the dimension in which you are conceived and pass some early-pregnancy milestones."

Nod.

"We don't have that sort of thing in the advertising because it's not testable for a long time and it's not good for trust, making promises that sound unbelievable and aren't verifiable."

"That makes sense."

"But at this stage we would be happy to answer questions in more detail if you have them."

"Are there people other than the suicidal who tend not to like it?"

"It used to contain nothing except one object of great emotional significance to the deceased and what could be flung by high-speed trains through the portals that occasionally opened to the neighbors' dimension. Lots of people hated that, obviously. Now it has normal infrastructure and once some security concerns are ameliorated it will have shuttle service everywhere in the multiverse and I think those will resolve complaints that are not inherent to being indestructible and immortal."

"Who are the neighbors?"

So he explains daeva. Draws a little map in the air with Loki's illusion spell to explain adjacency, describes in broad terms how they're safely summoned to Revelation and how they can eventually be summoned to the colony planet - "though we're going to roll that out very slowly, it's disruptive and dangerous and I can't imagine you'd be comfortable with everybody trying it at home, which is what they do tend to do."

"That would be a - bit much."

Emphatic nod. "We have a team that does summoning rollouts and once you're ready to think about that they can work with you - sometimes they do things like summoning centers where people can show up and do it by flipping a switch, takes the guesswork out and reduces the risk of mistakes. They can walk you through what everyone else has decided and you can make some choices from there - but not any time soon. 

 - oh, incidentally, Mereth mentioned people were worried - a demon can trivially verify that no one has visited your planet since it was built around a much smaller uninhabitable and similarly untouched core a few weeks ago. You'd need someone with expertise in using conjuration for forensics, to phrase the question properly, but 'people who set foot on this planet in this time range' is a conjurable quantity, as is 'those peoples' parents and grandparents' if there had been visitors and you were trying to check if they were potentially polluted visitors."

"So you aren't polluting it because you expect us to be able to check later?" asks Soyok's daughter.

"We're not permitting pollution of your planet because you care about that and we care about you, as well as because our integrity and reliability with our commitments rather underpins the entire organization and accordingly has literally trillions of lives resting on it. But also you can verify it."

She nods.

"Amentan summoners born on the colony planet would become daeva when they die, instead of the standard afterlife. Most people consider this a strict improvement." 

"Most?" asks Soyok's wife.

"In Revelation it can be a problem if you die young and want to go and take up your old life again, because there are daeva escort laws. Once there's a shuttle Limbo will straightforwardly have transit to the rest of the multiverse; that can't be done with daeva, because they're dangerous. There are complaints about the daeva justice system. Don't get me wrong, it's overwhelmingly preferred now that how it works is widely known, just not universally."

"I'll want more details once we have a summoning rollout," says Soyok.

Nod. "I have a whole team of people who will be delighted to get you whatever details you need or want once you're in a place where that makes sense for you."

"Do most places net positive in personnel?" Soyok wonders.

"Eventually, yes, but it can be a long 'eventually'. Large pre-industrial illiterate populations mostly aren't yet, though some are trending in that direction. Modern societies with people who'll want jobs even once they don't need them to keep their families from starving and with expectations for professional conduct that roughly match ours are sometimes an asset from the start. In my nation it's common to fork when we're short personnel but most places don't allow that and I think we're the only ones to outright encourage it."
