Food, toys for the kids, cooking pots and pans because they're using all the metal in the factories - once they see what he can do they start asking for gardens and fountains and landscaping - the teams have a better sense of what medical supplies Cam can provide now -

- and a week later, the Enemy starts firing rockets with some real range.

Just range, or better payload and accuracy too?

Permalink

Accuracy's hard to evaluate, because he's hardly picking military targets. Better payloads, though, definitely.

Anybody have a strong opinion on the escalatoryness of disseminating radar so they have warning on the rockets and can maybe detonate them midair?

Fëanáro says 'my impression is that he's constrained by not wanting to kill enough people he ceases to have leverage with you'.

That and if things "look" overbalanced - I don't know to what granularity of observation - he thinks the Valar will step in.

Permalink

I cannot put to words how much contempt I have for that intervention criterion.

Ayep. Maybe I should just distribute suicide triggers now. Basement dwellers and the Mithrim fellow are all doing okay.

Permalink

Good idea. Is there a way to scale them up or are you just going to go around giving out a hundred million?

Permalink

There is really not a way to scale them up. Chip's not designed for surgical implant, sits too deep and shaped too weird - and the melter'd be a job and a half and I will have needed to be present a moment earlier anyway.

Permalink

All right. Good skill. 

Permalink

So Cam bops around to see who wants chips and chiptrainers and melters.

Permalink

It is a popular offer.

And when he gets to Ossiriand he will find forty million dead bodies, nothing apparently wrong with them.

Cam is a fully trained medical demon capable of autopsy. (And of checking for chips.)

Permalink

Chips are gone. It's a virus, obviously engineered.

Permalink

Cam flash-sterilizes the city and environs, hot enough to burn him just a little just a moment.

And then he checks the progression of the disease in basement dwellers: did someone come in and take their chips or did they somehow fall casualty to their virus in their bizarre organic cyborg way.

Permalink

Progression of the disease is five asymptomic days, during which it is contagious, and then sudden death in your sleep. Chips are not damaged by it.

Permalink

 

Maitimo - or his body, rather - around?

Permalink

 


Ossiriand's dead and ransacked.

Permalink

 

In a way he can pull off at will?

Permalink

Yeah. Melters wouldn't even help much, they died in their sleep. I could come up with a test for the disease but I'm sure he could invent a dozen more.

Permalink

 

No survivors? And then someone came by to collect chips?

Permalink

Collect them very subtly, I had to check, they're not cut open or anything. And yeah.

I have thought about trading the Silmarils for the destruction of Valinor but the Silmarils would only catch new backups - everyone currently dead we'd have no way to retrieve.
