"So this far apart," she points to D.C. "You remember what size the Earth is."

"Yeah, we could go get him and back in less than eight hours, might catch some attention if we care about that. Unless your tech portfolio has better stealth than ours."

"The stealth might well be better but we don't have invisible ships, for that it'd be 'send a demon, use cloud cover'."

"Are you faster than whatever-this's-Earth's-tech-level-is airplanes?"

"What year is it?" Cam asks New Tyelcormo.

"Uh, I don't pay very much attention, 2004 or 2005 or something."

"If that's even close to right then yes we're faster."

"It's at least close."

"But this does involve you holding the door continuously for like a couple hours still depending on how much convincing your Maitimo takes to get in the shuttle and if you fuck up the door holding thing you strand me or Edie whichever of us is going."

"Should be Edie, we can dismiss and resummon her."

"Also, should anyone else get fetched?"

"I'd love to have my whole family here but he's the only one who - I take it you can't guarantee you'll have oath-erasing forever -"

"Should do for a while but no, we can't guarantee forever."

"So that's the only really urgent thing."

"He's the only one who what?"

"Doesn't believe he's outside Angband and might if he suddenly wasn't bound by the Silmaril oath?"

"Yes. Right. So that makes him the highest priority, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be good to get any of the others..."

"If you want to go grab them all I won't stop you - I don't know where they all are, but Nelyo will - but we probably aren't going to hang around with you people just for the fun of it, and if it's subjective centuries most of us'll fade."

"Fade?"

He sends everyone Amras and the concept and the tug of fading.

"...I was going to suggest get the Fëanáro and the Curufinwë to add somebody who can do magic to the think tank upstairs but if this is a pressing concern maybe not."

"Is there some way of fixing that?"

"It's pressing on the scale of a century, if it's maybe going to take a century then you don't want us in here unless you can find a Silmaril. Silmarils fix it."

"The multiplanet-Arda Silmarils aren't magic but they are too intelligent to conjure with all their features and their features probably don't even include that. - Bar is there by any chance an anti-fading property of the premises."

No. However, the infirmary should be expected to cover conditions of such a debilitating nature.
