Cam conjures by other parameters as needed.

It doesn't look like the drilling operation was affected by daeva except possibly by some indirect mechanism such as the rather disastrous effect of demons and angels on natural gas markets.

"...okay, weird coincidence is weird. It will only be officially inexplicable if someone announces a journey to Venus, though."

Elves nod tightly.

"Is that Eru's style?"

Elves nod again.

"Greaaaat."

"We probably have time. Plots usually move slowly."

Permalink

"How slowly?"

Permalink

"Years, maybe decades?"

Permalink

"Okay, good."

Permalink

"Yeah. Let's - let's make a plan to go get to the Dwarves."

Permalink

"It is downright bizarre that they are only in space from Valinor."

Permalink

"It really is. Otherwise we'd have found them sooner, though."

Permalink

"Have they been probing anything other than Valinor or are they just in a sort of void?"

Permalink

"There are stars, they sent something you could consider analogous to Voyager, but Valinor's the only place close enough they could identify it as habitable -"

Permalink

Nod. "And - do they just have totally different stars from Earth or could they be reached through space somehow?"

Permalink

"Can't tell off their star charts. Even if they're in space if they're more than a couple hundred lightyears away Valinor's the only viable avenue, and if they're closer than that I'd think we'd have noticed their radio and so on..."

Permalink

"And they do use normal nonmagical radio?"

Permalink

"Yeah. Plus, not my area of expertise but haven't we mapped the stars that close -"

Permalink

"A hundred lightyears pretty much, two hundred plausible we'd have missed it."

Permalink

"And by now someone from NASA has probably summoned a demon and got models of all their favorite stars' planets, right. Okay, so they're real far away. This is not commuting distance."

Permalink

"Unless there's FTL, no. And the Dwarves are ahead of us a couple centuries and haven't got it, so there's at least not straightforward FTL."

Permalink

"Except summoning and conjuration, but still have to tell them how to do that."

Permalink

"Is it likely they'd never have stumbled on it?"
