Demon Cam in the Space Silmarillion

He doesn't even know their names.

Someone ought to record the fall of the civilization. He makes a recording telescope; it'll write to a chiplocked file, but he can unlock it later. He peers through it. Demons have astronomical range but he needs to place it right, not just in the vicinity.

He starts it in the center of Valinor.

It doesn't need much to keep going. It's got a whole planet to eat.

They would have needed a nanosecond of warning. They don't get it.

And he turns around and goes back to Endorë.

The rockets stop firing. The Enemy picks up his encampments and retreats towards his borders and offers terms for peace. 

Permalink

They had better be really fucking generous terms.

Cam stops to pick up Findekáno.

"Congratulations."

Permalink

"I thought Eru might stop you, or the Valar might have time to react."

Permalink

 

"Nope."

Permalink

"Yes, I inferred that from the fact you're here. Has the fighting stopped?"

Permalink

"Yeah."

Permalink

"All extant backups of his prisoners?"

Permalink

Cam tried making some timestamped since the black hole on the way home. "Gone."

Permalink

He nods.

Cam puts Findekáno down accessible to the bunker.

He goes up and fetches the orc family.

Permalink

They can go home?

Permalink

Yeah. They can go home.

Permalink

They cry, a little. They touch their house when they get back, like they're not sure it's not just a dream.

Cam goes and sits in Maitimo's unoccupied lighthouse and tweaks orbital mechanics simulations and tries to find references to somebody actually making a binary star system with planets with moons. It seems to be a surprisingly unpopular project but he's sure it can be done with enough frame-of-reference tricks.

The orcs want pre-war borders. Some people take some prodding along and some are suspicious it's another trap but the Noldor are working nonstop and the treaties mostly go through. The forcefield around Doriath has vanished. Melian is - no one is quite sure what Melian is.

 

Huan is howling. It bothers everyone who hears it so Tyelcormo takes him to Ossiriand where they can work on making sure the dead have a place to come back to.

Cam gets a simulation working.

Anybody have any correspondence for him before he goes and does his level best to re-hang the stars?

Permalink

Everything's under control. Should they rebuild cities or just clear the land and wait for him.

Permalink

He should be done with the star system in two and a half months unless he fucks it up and has to start over. At that time he will be happy to remake cities on cleared areas.

Permalink

Okay. They'll wait. Will he rebuild things in orcish territory too?

Permalink

Yeah.

Good skill.
