"Scale model of things created by her. It might not produce anything even if she's real and made magics, I probably can't make magics -"

"You probably shouldn't anyway, there are plenty around if we need one for something."

"And they sound kind of horrible." Model of the surroundings of things created by Aelare?

Nothing. "It's not impossible that it would be worthwhile to drop a lot of objects into a magic and fish them out again and see if we get anything cool, but they're definitely not a good idea to jump into."

"I'm really careful, promise. ...I bet I couldn't be turned into a rock or something, but I'll be really careful anyway."

"I have no idea if magics are strong enough to beat whatever would normally stop you from being turned into a rock."

"We haven't found anything that can beat indestructibility yet although I don't know if Loki ever tried the Tesseract."

"What's that?"

"It's the most powerful magic we've got, Loki's basically omnipotent in her dimension and adjacent ones. It does - space. Anything to do with space. Like 'I would like this to be somewhere else' or 'I would like this to be reshaped without moving anything else' or 'I would like this thing to be in my hand now' or 'I would like to be close in this sense but far away in this other sense -'"

"...wow."

"Yeah. It only works in Edda and its neighbors but there Loki can basically do anything. It's how we have the teleport and the healing, too."

"But the teleport works here."

"Yeah, the Tesseract gave Loki a special kind of magic and she used it to make - illusions, and turning into a bird, and healing, and then the Tesseract thought she was being boring so it pushed her into a nearby Arda and the Arda needed saving so the me invented necklaces that give you a perfect memory even retroactively so Loki could remember enough of her physics textbooks to teach them advanced technology to fight Melkor with only even that wasn't enough so then Loki worked for decades with magic-song acceleration and the eidetic memory and developed an interdimensional teleport and got the Tesseract and killed Melkor with it. And the spells work for anyone who can remember them, so once we had the eidetic memory necklaces we could give them out to people we could trust enough."

"...it thought she was being boring."

"She also saved like so many people so it wasn't really a horrible thing to do even if it was kind of a stupid reason."

"I assume there's writeups of all this on the computer when it's done translating?"

"Yeah. It's almost done."

"Cool."

And it's done! Here is a fairly-mediocre-because-the-sample-of-the-local-language-is-pretty-small translation of the multiverse summary.

Aya starts picking through it. "...Is there a way to make it better at Esevi than it is right now?"

"Yeah, I can keep on correcting it and then letting it run with the corrections again, or I could just hand translate the whole thing, most computer translation is built for languages that have at minimum a couple exabytes of extant writings and you're not even close..."

"What is an exabyte?"

...he pulls the computer over and starts correcting it. "So imagine that you have an eidetic memory but you have to communicate and you could only do that by - nodding and shaking your head. And you had something complicated to say, so maybe you wanted to try spelling it out - one way of spelling it out would be to read all the letters in the alphabet to you and have you nod when you get to the right one, but that's really slow. A faster way is to have sequences, so the first letter of the Esevi alphabet is nod-nod-shake-nod, make sense?"

"Only if all the letters are also four head-movements long."

"Yup. And actually usually you say they're all eight, and then you can fit in lots of not-letter things - numbers, punctuation..."
