"Surviving. Saving as many people as possible. Eventually gathering the scattered remnants of my people and rebuilding, if there's anything left to rebuild.

I do have several machine plans memorized, to build when they're useful. I just don't know how they work."

"Well, now there are demons and you can cheat."

That actually wins a smile from her. "Cheating is good."

"Also if there are lost notes or blueprints or great works of literature, demons."

"...My grandparents' house, maybe."

"I am sure they'd be happy to help."

"Not here, though. Maybe if we get Dad back."

"Your other alt is very optimistic about resurrection eventually!"

"That's good."

"Without it I can't really do much for mortal races, unless if they go to summoning worlds and summon they hook into the local afterlife."

"How long is 'eventually' likely to be?"

"...couple centuries for her, probably, but everyone moves at a different pace..."

"...So what kind of not mortal is she?"

"Her-mortality-would-inconvenience-my-father type!"

"...Oh?"

"He is working on a solution."

"So he's making her immortal so she can bring back everyone else?"

"He's making her immortal because she's our sister. But also it will be lovely if she can bring back everyone else."

"Oh, that makes sense. There are some immortal mutants but Edie and I probably aren't among their number."

"His version won't scale well but it should be doable if yous only show up every subjective year or so."

"Why isn't it scalable?"

"Mind I'm not a magic Elf, but it involves giving really long instruction sets to metal so the right magic resonances form."

"...Metal?"

"Yep. If you can duplicate their things the magic Elves will be deliriously happy."

 "I hope I can."
