What - be specific -

There are thirty thousand humans here! We didn't miss them - wouldn't have - so I'm pretty sure Eru just put them there! Just now!

What the fuck

And nobody would've seen them coming because fucking Eru.

Are they eclipsing

Yep -

Reassigning some people - She taps some of the Earth helpers, they're spread thinner now, she looks again, sends more warnings, looks again -

The city of Brithombar turns upside down. This river runs backwards. Everyone between these mountain ranges forgets the last half-hour. This mountain blows up and it turns out there is - well, was - an entire civilization of Dwarves living under it - 

an entire civilization of Dwarves the fucking fuck - reallocate people again get somebody covering the Dwarves that apparently exist -

- the Dwarves can't be locked down for some fucking reason, they need to teleport the eclipsed ones out of the way with razor-sharp timing, get them on the south continent (is the south continent as empty as they thought, please) till they disaster themselves out of excess calories -

Aulë made Dwarves someone should ask Aulë where they all are - 

- there are seven Dwarven kingdoms - 

- this human liquifies everyone around them, this Elf by Lake Mithrim blessedly locks down everyone around them, Melian is the only person in Doriath who remembers that the second level of their cave system ever existed (it's still there, unharmed) -

Why didn't Aulë MENTION THE DAMNED DWARVES AT ANY POINT DURING THE YEARS THEY SPENT PLANNING TO GIVE THE ENTIRE PLANET AN ECLIPSE

- she will yell at her about that probably counterfactually later -

- warnings, warnings, coordinating through the volunteer hypercog and trying not to trip on the other precogs and desperately authorizing Alex to dip into emergency funds for another one -

Did anyone tell her that Ents are species? Ents are a species. An eclipsed Ent has done some sort of crazy time-dilation thing to half the continent, another eclipsed Ent has rendered everyone for hundreds of miles unable to form or parse coherent speech - this is reported to Isabella incoherently, of course -

WHY DID NO ONE MENTION ENTS

she can triangulate the speech problem based on where it took effect, send somebody after that Ent - is the time dilation thing by any chance actually useful -

It is!!! It's slowing that whole region way, way down, by a factor of a thousand or so.

Okay good for you Ent - people can't usually do that at all, must be that Ents can store a lot of energy or something - moving on -

Dwarven kingdoms look like, in addition to being impossible to lock down, they don't have any psions! This Dwarf mage has turned everyone in his city to stone. This eclipsing orc nowhere near Angband have silently killed everybody around and this other one somewhere else has filled everyone's head with static -

Somebody get the Dwarf mage out in three two one now quick it's safe - the orcs it's probably better just to kill and sort them out later -

(Maira wakes Liz when the lights rise in the sky. Liz has time to see that if they get to the portal they'd be safe - and that they can't get to the portal, the walls have caved in between here and there - and then everyone in the vicinity is turned inside-out -

- Maira discards her current body, goes for the portal, one of her toys is still breathing somehow and she grabs it on her way -)

- this other Dwarf mage blinks a couple thousand people out of existence, this other human must've done something twenty minutes ago because everyone looked completely fine and she was locked down and all and now they're all dying -

- no saving those humans, sorry, that happens on Earth sometimes too -

- get the Dwarf in five four three two one now -

And that's all.

Isabella takes five minutes during which she concentrates solely on eating a lot of, what is this, venison, and then looks again, what's going on, anything -?

Explanations are being proffered! Some Maiar want to know what will happen if they do a sweep of Angband and Utumno, they don't want to actually do it in case the Vala-killing psion survived -

Isabella can check directly for survival, that's faster, what happens if she says hi to -

[Melkor's dead - Liz is dead -

- Maira's alive -]

The mage kids?

They're dead. (She will feel guilty about that later.)

In that case a flyover's safe. They head off.
