[Yes. I advise you not to advertise your survival for the time being, while we figure out what to do.]

Permalink

[Yeah. Any other plans to check -]

Permalink

[That is all we have. Please keep looking an hour out, tell us what happens -]

Permalink

[I need food to do that, should I assume it's not safe for Elves to know I'm alive either -]

Permalink

[Melkor cannot read minds but I do not know what her psion assistant can do.]

[Liz presumably killed Mandos and will have been spending most of her time working on that, before that she had light illusions and minor math hypercognition, but she may have been working on something else in parallel with killing Mandos, but probably not outright mindreading especially at range given that none of the other psions turned up Vala-killing in this time period.]

[Then it should be safe to tell Elves you are alive.]

So if she heads for the nearest place to get food - ugh, she's already woozy -

Permalink

People will offer her food, oblivious.

She goes, she eats the first thing someone offers her as fast as she can wolf it down, she checks and checks and checks, what's Ulmo going to tell her, what, what, what -

- she won't use up more fuel talking by osanwë, the Valar are too far but Maitimë isn't -

 

- her lookahead doesn't contain this conversation.

 


[Maitimë's missing.]

Permalink

[I see. Just her? Who told you?]

Permalink

[I tried to talk to her myself and she's not there, I don't know who else yet or how to systematically check without asking her.]

Permalink

[Can you distinguish between 'comatose like the Elves who walked in on the human psions', 'dead' and 'missing' -]

Permalink

[Trying.]

[Maitimë -]

Permalink

No answer.

If she tries in an hour - and six minutes -

Permalink

...the Trees go out, and one in a thousand residents of Arda eclipses.

Permalink

 

[- she's alive that's all I know bigger problem the Trees are going to die and then you have an eclipse on your hands there's no time for anyone to fast you need to save the trees or - or Valinor's pretty much gone -]

Permalink

[Do you have any idea what kills them - we'll try - we're all heading there now -]

Permalink

[I don't know just keep talking to me -] She can barely swallow fast enough it's too much she keeps taking bites anyway, what happens in an hour and six minutes what has she been told -

Permalink

Giant spider that eats light and exudes paralyzing darkness. They can fight it but the psion who can kill Valar kills anyone who gets close - Elves too -

Permalink

Isabella reports this in Ulmo's future exact words.

Permalink

They ask what happens if they try a ranged way of defending the Trees without being near them -

Permalink

Checking -

Permalink

Instead of Ulmo reporting Nienna does, because Ulmo is dead - didn't work -
