He waits for him to finish before making another chip. "Should I take these to Maitimo now?"

"Yes."

Pop. "Uh the Brazilian rebels are making their pitch that they'd be a better government and I'm supposed to verify that these are videos of torturing someone."

He takes them. "Okay. We'll write you. You okay?"

"I miss Boots. Do you want to come talk to them -"

"I do not speak any Portuguese."

" - oh, right. Still."

"Would you like me to?"

"- I should probably discuss with you before I overthrow any governments."

"I agree."

"But not right now."

He pops back.

"That was fast."

"The travel's instantaneous we were just debating whether he should come meet you all."

"And what'd you decide?"

"I said I probably shouldn't overthrow governments without talking it over with him but that didn't have to be now. He doesn't speak any Portuguese anyway."

"I do speak English," she says in that language with only a slight accent.

    "Me, too," says Bernardo.

John and Jade, ironically, don't.

"And I have magic translation and speak everything. Do you want me to get Maitimo?"

"That would be lovely, yes."

Pop. "They speak English and do want to talk to you."

"Okay." He squeezes Epic's hand. 

Pop.

"—for some reason I expected all of you to have wings. It's a pleasure to meet you Maitimo, I'm Mônica, these are Jade and John, this is Bernardo."

"Nice to meet you! The wings are because of some of Epic's magic - the ability to make arbitrary material objects is associated with the wings, where we're from - and I have no magic powers at all, having been created here five days ago."

"—ah huh. How did that happen?"

"I'm a species Epic can make. When he realized this was - a complicated situation requiring more resources than he'd managed to amass - he decided to make some of us. Technically fork some of us from existing versions at home."
