"No, this is a good bit earlier then when he would recruit her." 

Her lips purse into a dissatisfied expression. 

"Fundamental secrets of the operation of magic aren't freely shareable here, unfortunately. I can get you to just outside Naomi's place of work or home, or the site of her death. Beyond that, the system isn't designed to track people, though if you have a specific set of valid coordinates I can drop you there. Similarly, I don't think that I'd be able to insert you at L or the task force's location. With the basic equipment allotment, you could have a few week's access to a reasonably well appointed rental property along with a several hundred thousand yen in funds or ordinary equipment. If you wanted security beyond that, that would require an additional expenditure." 

She shakes her head. "No worries about the name thing, I'll just call myself Jade or something to avoid using either. And I don't want an insertion in L or the task force's location, just want a photo and either coordinates or a dot drawn on a map. If you can't get me those, I'll probably settle for the short-term rental near the task force."

She shakes her head. 

"That's not freely available." 

"Okay." She hums. "Map and photo of a discreet alleyway as close as possible to Chief Yagami's place of work?"

"I can include a detailed map of the area around the NPA headquarters in the basic equipment, certainly. Detailed photography of the area is likely sufficiently unusual that it'd require an additional expenditure to ensure it would be available." 

"We'll see how much budget slack I have, then." She makes a few notes. "How much would the photo cost?"

She types away for a moment. 

"Looks like it'd just be a single token." 

"Can I make the decision after integrating the knowledge from another purchase?"

"Decisions about allocation and what they represent are made at the point of insertion. In the context of a flashpoint, you can for example decide which world is to be your second and what to spend your tokens on in advance, or after failing or completing the first world." 

"So if I want to use the knowledge of one purchase to make a decision about another purchase, the second purchase has to follow a crisis where I used the first purchase, okay. That means Death Note is not first. Next question," she looks down at her notes, "is about the Library of Jebristan. Is one claimant to the throne going to treat the citizenry noticeably better than the other, or suck less in some meaningful fashion?"

"As I understand it, the analysis system and team determined that preventing the fire was vastly more important to the future of that world then altering any other details of that battle, and as part of the mechanism of the flashpoint, regardless of how things go, you will move on within the next three days. Speculatively, it seems plausible to me that that result would be most naturally generated if the both claimants were either fundamentally fairly similar in quality by our metrics, or alternatively that their quality as leaders is relatively irrelevant to longer term flourishing, perhaps because of external factors that would apply similarly to them both. You are free to make your own determinations in that regard, though of course I would recommend first and foremost ensuring the success of the mission."  

She nods. "I ask because one of my ideas for preventing the destruction of the library is preventing the battle, such as by forcibly resolving the civil war in favor of one claimant or the other. If there is no war, there is no battle, and no resulting fire. Do the claims hinge on the specific claimants currently leading their respective sides, or are there backup claimants on one or both sides?"

"This sort of divination is rarely so precise. Usually, it's wisest to read them narrowly as a 'without intervention' projection, and little more then that. Generally speaking, though, I would note that those rallied to war are rarely inclined to throw down their arms without a satisfactory resolution to the conflict, win or lose. And even without any particular named backup candidate, it is rather difficult for a war to fail to produce a number of secondary locuses of power that could become claimants, with a bit of work." 

She hums. "Rules out a tidy end via ending a claimant. How's the fire as far as casualties?"

"A hundred souls dead, a few thousand displaced and suffering from smoke inhalation and the like, perhaps, though not all of that in the immediate vicinity of the library." 

She makes another note. "Do you know why the battle happens in the city, and not some open field?"

"The fight was over military control of Jebristan's capital itself in order to capture the seat of the Kingdom's power, with preparations make in advance by both sides for the conflict in the city itself." 

She tuts and makes another note. "Can't get the battle out of the city, then. Daft bloody fools. Any info on whether the accelerants hit the library directly, or the fire spread from a different burning building?"

She shakes her head. 

"We merely know that, more or less regardless of random factors yet to come, that without intevention the library will be burnt down and the contents lost. Still, that surety is rather telling in its own way."

She hums, checks the text of a purchasable resource, makes another note, and looks back at Jun. "Are there any resources required for warding a building the size of the library with Hogwarts magic that I would not be able to find in the vicinity, apart from my wand itself?"

"Fine details like that on magic are difficult to disclose, but I would suggest you also consider whether or not you would have the time and opportunity to do such a thing satisfactorily, even if doing it without additional tools is reasonably practical otherwise." 

"Good point." She makes a couple more notes. "While I'm looking I'm looking at this, can you explain anything about why the Hogwarts books feel like looking at something I've forgotten, but through a funhouse mirror? Or why my reflexive first choice was the magic?"

"There's a limit as to what I can discern without invasive scanning - but if I were to give a guess as to what it was, if it isn't simply a matter of ordinary psychology..." 

She traces her fingers slowly along the desk. 

"Part of the screening process searches for souls that are especially compatible with our work - both psychologically and on other, more esoteric factors. It's far from impossible that part of the reason why you are as compatible as you are with FIXFIC's augmentations is that part of your... 'soul' or 'reality thread' somehow reflects the 'rules' of some particular subset of the worlds that we've optimized our capacities most directly for to some degree. As you might expect, it takes some considerable work to bundle up all of the requisites for the 'Hogwarts Graduate' ability, so Empowerment has put in a great deal of work ensuring that our systems work well things that are like what you would expect in that sort of universe." 

She taps her fingertip against her lip in thought. 

"It's certainly possible that it reflects more then that, but the options for that are considerable and the requirements for definitively proving anyone in particular are rather difficult to accomplish in a terribly timely manner. Still, I'd expect it to be reasonably feasible for you to determine such things for yourself to some degree if you invest in a broadly scoped adaptive power system and focus your efforts in that direction." 

"Huh." She tuts softly and shakes her head. "More than I expected and less than I hoped. Maybe I'll figure out the whole answer eventually, though."
