"- for what?"

<No one with a teleport gets Yeerked.>

"Iobel's working on a hex - she thinks she can squeeze it into a regular hex - for anti-Yeerking in particular if people have reasons not to want to be indestructible. And then someone will have to swing by and offer it to Midnight."

<There is a policy not to give him indestructibility?>

"Not specifically, but you need a lot of spellbinders all coordinating to do those and there's a fair number of people with teleporting. I'm going to check later this afternoon if magic rocks can be usefully Yeerked or if the bodies not really being them is sufficient protection, so they know if they have to worry about magic rock teleporters, of whom there are plenty."

<Good idea. Thank Ristrell from me, if she'll appreciate it.>

"Will do."

There are going to be lots and lots of space Elves on the Moon for the foreseeable future so they will need the prettiest arcologies! There are designs on the internet in Space; he goes there to fetch them, feeling very insecure about how a real demon wouldn't need to. But then he gets to make them. He flies around and does that. They are aesthetically stunning.

The plan was originally to reshuffle a couple hundred thousand people to Yeerk-sorting duty under Ristrell but now security concerns are delaying getting that off the ground. He asks Gem if she thinks a single wish could immunize everybody, if he brought them all to Wish.

"Maybe? If there were someone with a good read on it, most people can't affect that many people with a wish even without the fluffs siphoning off most of the energy."

"Ehtelion feels very strongly about it. If we need two or three I think it's still worth it, Hex is going to have something but they don't yet have the resources for these numbers..."

"I'll read Ehtelion, if he's good and worked up about it and reads a solid five he may be able to pull it off."

He comes over to Wish. "Hi. You heard - everything -"

"Secondhand, but yes. How are you holding up?"

"Uh, well considering what happened but that's not - I was so afraid they might actually pull it off - the Yeerks would have been the secondary disaster compared to asking the demon for a worldleaper, honestly -"

"Demons have human-typical psychology, it's at least possible that demons wandering hither and thither would be no more than a minor problem compared to Yeerks, but we were very lucky, yeah. You wanna contemplate wishing infestation immunity - or nonconsensual infestation immunity, whichever you can get more emotional about - for the Cube postwar task force, see how you read on it?"

"Yeah."

"I think you could probably cover half of the batch? Make sure anybody you know personally is in that half and we can find somebody else to do the other side."

"Okay -" and two hundred thousand people are reshuffled -

And she grants the wish. And who's doing the other side?

Can it just be someone who is mind-numbingly terrified of being Yeerked because there are plenty of those.

Negative emotions work just fine, although for a large batch of defenses you'd probably want somebody who's also afraid of people around them being Yeerked.

This can be found.

Then the wish is all set to go, bam.

And now hundreds of thousands of Space Elves can relocate to the arcologies and the Maitimo directing them can go find Ristrell to talk logistics.
