"Just Earth?"

"Earth, its environs, and its alternatives."

Nod. "Okay. Earth is - honestly not that urgent, if the Endbringers have stopped Endbringing. The other concern is several decades out and the peal'll find you by then."

He nods slowly. "So... guess we're extraneous, now."

"You're an Earth in 1994, we've got lots to do. But none of it's saving the world and giving sufficiently trustworthy people my powers might be a perfectly good use of it."

He nods. "—we were interrupted by Khonsu. Was there anything more to discuss with Doctor Mother?"

"Can they maybe be nicer to the people they're imprisoning now that they've got more resources."

"—I hope so? Doctor Mother will be able to answer this, I don't understand yet why—that—in particular."

"And we should check if I can make entity-related stuff. And if I can make the potions you use for powers."

"...you said you couldn't make minds?"

"Yeah."

"So even odds on it not working. The substances are a connection to a Shard, which is as we understand it a mind."

"I bet I can't make a shard but I don't know about the substances. If it's safe to try I'll at least try it."

"They don't really have shelf lives or specific care needs, don't need to be cold all the time or anything."

He tries one.

He has one.

"—don't drink that unless you know which mixture it is."

"Hero's. I won't." He makes a face. "It'd be so fun but it would not be very good risk management."

"Hero's was an experimental formula, we have better ones now."

"If they make you more conflict prone I just shouldn't take one. Some of the space Elves could maybe."

"Much less than natural triggers, to the point where it's not unlikely the effect is entirely due to selection bias."

"- I wanna be a Tinker it sounds so cool."

He smiles. "Perhaps your powers will be able to help us understand the entities enough to know if that's advisable."

He bounces in midair by teleporting just a bit. 

"Should we reconvene, then?"

" - yeah I guess."
