"That'd be my suggestion to start for Amenta to here, doesn't scale well later but lets traffic be under control. Probably the sentence thing for the other way around. 'This interdimensional passport was validly issued to me less than a season ago' or whatever. You could also do that in both directions."

"Do you have a location in mind -"

"Anitam somewhere, I guess. Is there, I don't know - Neli, you don't happen to know of any really convenient place, like an airport that's nearly built but hasn't opened yet?"

"Not off the top of my head. Maybe there's one that's adding a new wing. Could there be a small gate limited to the people here and a short list of coconspirators, which we could use while we're figuring out general public announcements and refitting an airport?"

"I can do one a day. Though it trades off against two resurrections, so we'll want to make sure all of them need to happen."

"A small one for an access list preliminary to a big one for general contact sounds right to me. ...it might make sense to pull Cam off the internet project, we can do it especially if gates let cables through and then you can share ours and he can do something else. Unless you can reach and would rather be compatible with where he's from."

"Amenta sounds like a better influence than Cam's world, honestly. Not that we won't get lots of cross-pollination eventually, but as a jumping-off point."

"Does it?"

"They have laws. You haven't solved our afterlife problem yet."

"It's complicated and the documentation's awful."

"Cam does not live somewhere with laws but I think he grew up somewhere with them. If he might get pulled off the internet project anyway we could inquire."

He gestures for an attendant to get Cam.

Someone else walks in, prostrates himself. " - yes?"

"For the Prince Hemaka, your grace -"

"Right. Uh, do you want to be there?" he asks Cor. "Do you want Belmarniss to be there?"

"Yes and yes."

"Ready when you are."

So they can step outside. 

        "You have a wording?" asks the new guy.

"I want you to Wish for the removal of all enchantments, geases, or memory-altering effects targeting me."

"Belmarniss, is 'enchantments or geases' pretty comprehensive there?"

"Redundant, actually, 'enchantment' covers I think everything you want, it's the fucky school of magic. I guess in principle something fucky could be going on solely through things that don't constitute enchantments, like, say, garden variety holding his loved ones hostage or something, but there'd really be no reason for that to be set up before you got here given the availability of enchantments, how deep do you want to go?"

"...confirming that the school of fucky magic is not operative should do."

The guy casts the spell.

Hemaka looks nonplussed. 

"Thank you."

Cor waits for the guy to leave.

He does that.

"He really cast it and it was what he said it was and everything."
