Yep. And I suppose I don't need to be particularly timid about precogging things that might involve her, just shouldn't expect it to be useful if it turns out they do.

And can't precog talking to her, which hopefully deters people from actually talking to her.

Plenty of psions are telepaths and aren't precogs, but it might slow some people down, yes.

So - do we ask the Valar for a dead babies clarification or not -

Maybe I can get them to just comment directly on human afterlives without telling them why I'm asking - Can she?

Yep! They will confirm that humans have one but that it's inherently mysterious because that's how Eru planned it.

Can she get them to announce that in some suitably public way -

They'll answer for anyone else who asks.

...would any of the abortion protest Elves not segue into something that made the Valar want to elaborate further -

...nah, they are super concerned for the fate of human babies and will totally ask!

"Dammit."

"Mmm?"

"The Valar will produce the factoid about their opinion on the human afterlife all by itself but not publicly, and if I get one of the protesters to ask they inevitably veer into asking about the other stuff."

"Yeah, it is probably inevitable that if we try to settle a public debate by appealing to the Valar they'll end up getting asked about the actual question that's the subject of debate -"

"I was hoping it could just be extracted as bare fact and circulated from there but apparently not. Ugh."

"Still worth it, you think?'

Principal drawback is that Eru has something to say about it, but if Eru likes the human afterlife to be mysterious maybe that's not such a problem...

Probably not worse than the current mess.

Yeah. As long as it all comes to the same thing it might be most efficient to suggest directly to the ringleaders that they ask.

I'll do that.

Lovely. Anybody catch them if she leans over and kisses her -?

Not at all.

Good. Kiss.

You're so - indignant on behalf of reality, on behalf of all the humans being hurt, it's so -

- not sure what you mean?
