"I'll take you home."

Hops with plenty of room for Eden in each, bringing the dropped shards along.

(And if Eden has instructed Scion to send some not-externally-noticeable share of these shards away near-luminally fast who's going to notice, really?)

Cam is! He will go clean up after them.

That is suboptimal but does give them information about these aliens' capabilities. And how likely they are to follow through.

Would they like to talk to Eden?

Does Eden have anything to say?

She would like to officially meet the people who are going to solve all of her problems.

Then sure, Golden and Translator Elf can talk to Eden.

"Hello," says a woman as silver as Scion was golden. "It's a pleasure to meet you. And, I suppose, I should thank you for having the opportunity at all."

"You're welcome."

"My counterpart—I believe he's been called Scion by the people from the Earth we've been inhabiting?—has informed me of everything that has happened, to the extent he's been able to, but I believe there may have been nuances he missed. You are from—different universes? To which we do not have access?"

"Yes."

"That seems to go against everything we've been able to determine about how physics works in the past thousands of years."

"Yes, it's very subtle from inside of universes."

"And Scion was under the impression you had—magic, was that it? Understanding that as things that can break the laws of physics."

"Yes."

"May I ask—how?"

"I don't think you can reproduce it here."

"Why is that?"

"Some worlds just have it. Closest thing your world has is you guys."

"We just use technology and discoveries other species made. Your—I'm not sure what his relationship to you was, the small one calling himself Epic—seemed to be able to perform magic here, though."

"It's portable, you just won't be able to generate it naively."

"I see. And do you know why we can—see the worlds we're connected to but not the others in their neighborhood?"

"I could guess. You may be overestimating my willingness to dump useful information on serial genocides without a good reason."

"—yes, I understand how that would be concerning. But I seem to be very thoroughly stuck, and could not harm anyone even if I wanted to. Which I don't; surely you understand we merely have orthogonal values, not incompatible ones."

"Yes, we've met the category 'amoral aliens who are only doing horrific things in order to combat entropy' before. We do not plan to let your universe die. Congratulations."
