And presently the Elves can control their computers with their minds and can be taught to use them and how to access their mailboxes and where to find sorcery spell text and stuff. The "Arda 3" directory is not by default open to Maedhros but Fingon has an option to mark it that way.

"...either of you given any thought to nicknames?"

"He should obviously be Dragon, and I'll pick one if I decide to stay alive."

"Second flying reptile in the bunch. But it's a good nickname."

"It didn't fly. I don't think I could have taken it if it could fly." He sends the memory.

"Maybe our decisionmaking on this shouldn't be ruled by wild optimism."
