"All right. We can try to gate there later today - can't do it from here, because of the bars on transit magic here."

"Which only work well enough to inconvenience us, I see."

"I have one gate today, so I can try for Cam's world if that's our highest priority."

"It probably should be, it's not like we won't already have been noticed missing."

"Plane Shift has a miss chance, Cam."

"...how much and in what directions?"

"That's why I thought we'd use Gate. Plane Shift can miss by as much as 500 miles, Gate can't."

"In what directions, though, I live on a mini planet with its own gravity well."

" - huh. It doesn't miss up or down on Golarion but I think it can miss in all three dimensions on some other planes."

"Gate, then, you'd land in hard vacuum missing in most directions. You want to see pictures or anything?"

"Yes, please."

Cam has pictures of his house. It's nice, in a practical cozy way; he didn't go nuts with gold and rubies.

"All right, who all wants to come to outside the Dome where I can cast this -"

"I'd say you should send chip Elves on weird expeditions so Cam can fork us back in case anything strange happens but perhaps with neither Mandos nor the Silmarils present to catch backups that doesn't fly."

"- mm, might make sense to do it that way actually."

" -- ooooh."

"What?"

"He can make chip people! I think it's somehow complicated but not as complicated as they are pretending it is. It wouldn't actually make sense for it to be complicated, because chip people are just long strings of numbers and he ought to be able to make the numbers."

"Meat people are just molecules and I make those fine too, it's a genuinely weird magical limitation."

"But you can make alive chip people somehow."

"You possibly should have told at least me this before I made it salient in front of six Maitimos."

"I've been busy!"

"Sorry, why is this such a big deal?"

"I don't want billions of demons learning that they can make chip Elves in the comfort of their own homes so the story is the Silmarils do backup - they do - and I'm using that for reembodiments - I'm not. Silmarils are also too smart to make correctly so it'll hold if everyone shuts up about it."

Anaander nods seriously.
