"If I understood your explanation previously we might have some introduced if there's large amounts of immigration?"

"If somebody's carrying something. I don't know how much immigration volume to expect, though, and doctors from my planet are not going to have tuberculosis."

"I should probably work out what implications contact with another world has for who I should seek to marry..."

"I remain optimistic that espers can destroy demons but I guess the tradeoff might not be worth it?"

"Wild or non-wild demons?"

"Either. I realize it would be awkward to confront the non-wild ones, but -"

"If you can kill wild demons that would make killing non-wild ones worth the awkwardness, otherwise it would just leave us more defenseless against the wild ones."

"Right. I think empowered tend to have stronger powers than espers, but espers have supportive technology and dungeoneering practice and are also coordinated enough that the ones with the exact right power out of tens of thousands of active combat espers the world over can be pulled for a demon-hunting project, and - if we get them all they might stop happening, which is not a trait dungeons have and I'm optimistic that it'd be encouraging, though I might be assuming other people think more like I do than is likely, there."

"Could empowered likewise help with dungeons in return for aid with wild demons?"

"Sure, more specialization and gains from trade all over the place. Though, uh. Dungeons have civilian victims in them and they will have to behave like those lives are of the utmost importance."

"I think a substantial portion of empowered can be trusted to do so if the seriousness of the matter is impressed upon them."

"I'm at all concerned that folks from my world are not - culturally competent to impress them with such seriousness."

"I can most likely help with that."

"Well - you can start it out, but if they go to a dungeon briefing and they ask questions like 'are any of the people we're looking for in this dungeon nobles, we should obviously start with the important ones' then everyone is going to be like 'what in the world is wrong with you' which I imagine might damage team rapport. If they're like - making faces at espers with Jewish names. Or threatening people who insult them - sometimes dungeon victims are not at their most conciliatory! Or refusing operational instructions from whoever's the lead on site. Or trying to hit on the medics. Or - anything you don't cover, or that doesn't stick, or that doesn't strike them as important, would be a huge incident. And we can send guys into Volcanic Range without local backup to look for the core! There's no victims in there, just lava monsters! But most dungeons aren't like that."

"Oh, that's a higher standard for behavior than I expected and makes it much more difficult to position the entire enterprise as similar to campaigns since participation would be limited to a select few for reasons that would seem inscrutable or insulting to a lot of nobles. Probably I can still find a few empowered who would be interested and could meet those standards, but it won't be easy."

"It might not be a huge deal if they hit on a medic or sneer at a Cohen but it's the kind of thing that could, if they weren't lucky, blow up on the Internet among millions of people."

"-that sounds horrible!"

"...blowing up is a metaphor. Become a widespread topic of gossip and judgment."

"Oh, that makes sense."

"Yeah. Still bad! But not explosion bad."

"Probably it's worthwhile to be very selective in who we allow to interact with your world in order to avoid such incidents, I suppose."

"It leaves a lot of value on the table. Honestly I'm not positive I can get the aquarium done without an incident, it's not like I know how to install an aquarium, but there's probably somebody who will accept terrible working conditions like 'having to be around a noble from this planet' in exchange for a giant budget with which to create a beautiful aquarium."

"I can most likely manage to limit exposure to nobles other than myself?"

"Leaves a lot of value on the table. Maybe we can do small controlled meetings."

"That seems doable... I'm going to need a husband who is onboard with this if I'm actually going to be any help. And who has political power."
