"Same, aside from the circumstances."

And they raise their eyebrows at each other and Andreth returns to her work. 

Edie writes everything new down and conjures replies.

The Elves are very categorically certain Melkor's bad enough to merit evacuating Earth at once, but admit that there is not yet evidence that'd be satisfying to someone who didn't witness the Darkening and that they should collect such evidence so the evacuation isn't resisted.

Seems about right. Any idea why no one's ever summoned a human daeva before?

Perhaps the same reason new human daeva show up with the other human daeva and not with the lizardpeople? There must be discrete clusters very far apart and somehow summoning unless you're pulling weird tricks summons from the nearest one.

Plausible. So they think locations in the daeva planes correspond to locations in the mortal plane?

Seems like the likeliest guess. Though if permanently-dead Elves and orcs do go to the daeva afterlives, and it seems they really ought to, they don't land near lizardpeople.

Doesn't Mandos prevent elf deaths from being sufficiently permanent? Him and his backup thing?

Yeah. So maybe that's all there is to it. But they've been assuming that if they ever dismiss Mandos, who is pretty terrible, that'd mean death was permanent, and instead it might mean they get the daeva afterlife.

Presumably so. Hey, here's a thought, she's corresponding with Cooperative Summoner's helpful demon, nice guy, what if she gives them the summoning circle Tyelcormo used to summon her the first time, or the second time if they want her bound, and she can jump between different places at will by virtue of having people summon and dismiss her?

Sounds convenient. Leaves her stuck on Earth if Earth and the Elves end up disagreeing about whether to forcibly evacuate it and her summoner is disinclined to dismiss her, though.

Well, actually, between when she asks the elves to dismiss her and re-summon her to get back there, she's planning on doing some forking experiments in Hell, so if all goes well they should have access to her regardless.

That should be interesting. Means plans that require lots of reliable demons are more workable, too.

Yeah. So, she and Emily are pretty much done with these people except for giving them the circles, can they dismiss them in five minutes and summon them again half an hour after that?

They confirm they'll do this.

She gives Mira the circles for her and Emily.

And then she's back in Hell. 

Getting the chip out without an angel is unpleasant but doable. She makes a body--her in her early twenties--around it.

It dies. You can't chip humans.

...Well okay then. She was not expecting that. Good thing she didn't do any of several things she had been considering doing.

She digs the chip out of the corpse, turns it over thoughtfully, and tries to make an elf version of herself around it.

That works.

She looks at herself.

Herself looks back.

"I'm prettier than you," observes the new version. "And you should make a new chip, you don't like not being a telepath."

"True," the non-elf version says. "And also kill you."

"Not until I've summoned something," the elf says, rolling her eyes.

"Yes, yes, summon Emily."

The elf version does.

"...Oh, huh, I didn't think of that," Emily says, looking at the new one. "Figured would either just work or not."

She takes out her own chip. She gets an elf duplicate. The elf duplicate, whimsically, summons Edie across the room.

And once this has been done and they've been confirmed not to be having second thoughts the original Edie kills them quickly and painlessly.

After a few minutes she creates minis of daeva elves.

It worked.
