"I suppose that would follow." 

"Being a daeva sounds nice." 

"I like it! - uh, you should be aware that under standard circumstances, people who have summoned daeva in their lifetimes become daeva upon their deaths. I don't know if this is a standard-enough circumstance."

"--Oh. Goodness. I don't know if either of us is going to die of natural causes but I should summon someone if I can." 

"Still worried about the possibility that the somebody wouldn't be able to go home."

"I said if I can! --I guess it wasn't obvious what I meant by can." 

"What I can do is write some letters to some other demons and see if any of them are up for the risk."

"Oh! Cool! I thought it was going to wait until you had done everything really important and we had tried sending you home and bringing you back." 

"If nobody volunteers, that's the way to do it, but ideally someone will want to come. I can start poking around. Other demons conjure mail like I do."

"Maybe someone will want to talk to the fish people." 

"I'm curious about the fish people myself, they're certainly a potential selling point."

"I hope they're okay. It's been a long time since the Necronomicon was written." 

"I could check, but I got pretty lucky with the Linaika speaking an intelligible dialect of something my computer knows how to translate and I don't know that I can expect this with fish people."

"Can you check if they've gone extinct or not?" 

"Yeah -" He starts making plasticized minis of alive fishpeople but he will stop when he has a couple.

He gets a couple. 

"There are some!"

"Oh good! I was worried humanity would have wiped them out. They...do that."

"Is somebody else extinct?"

"Just, like, birds and neanderthals and stuff." 

"Ah, those. I dunno, the gorilla people looked a little Neanderthal-y. If there is a good time to reintroduce dodos I can do that, they hatch from eggs."

"Whoah oh my goodness you can do that can't you." 

"Yeah! It's harder but not impossible with mammals, but eggs I can make them in an early enough stage that they develop proper minds."

"How do you do it with mammals?"

"The braindead ones are still biologically alive, and with enough medical care you can get them to carry to term at a decent success rate."
