"I can try."

She makes a dull-eyed body with Hisame's face.

Who places odd black rods in it, and her Rinnegan manifests in its eyes as she moves the bulk of her powers over.

"Seems to work."

Slightly creepily.

She laughs. "The second body should still be able to open portals, but it's pretty disposable as long as the control rods get destroyed, too, and it'll just be inconvenient if I have to track down the body to remove those."

"What does it take to destroy the rods?"

"I haven't tested, sadly. They're durable, but it's also possible the body disintegrating around them will be close enough to removal for government work."

"I don't think we're sanctioned, unless Ellayania or Glint counts, so hopefully it won't come to that."

"I used to be a government worker! For, like, six months before I figured out how to survive running, but it counts."

"If you say so."

"Unfortunately I quite outgrew my uniform..."

"I think we could probably contrive to make you a new one..."

Eliana coughs.

She grins.

"Sorry. Where were we?"

"Distract Alduin until Meridia is ready, then evacuate everyone who's not a god or easily resurrectable."

"Very doable, I think."

"Let's hope so."

She updates them on everything she's learned from the dragons and of how they've seen him fight, though her general sense is he'll be more powerful in Sovngarde than he was in the mortal realm.

Fortunate then that they'll have to worry less about collateral damage in Sovngarde.

Quite so. They can get a bit destructive, after all.

It sound like they have most of a plan, then?

Yeah.

When are they ready to move out?

Meridia's ready now.

So's Glint.

Mora and Hisame, too, though they had little to prepare.
