"But he didn't land right on us or obviously nearby, he could've landed on any planet, in any galaxy - in intergalactic space, he's a Maia, he doesn't need the same habitability standards we do -"

"He would probably want the resources to do more damage before he tried anything."

"Yeah. We don't know when he left, though, the Valar haven't seen him recently - I think they'd have bothered to mention it -"

He might be trembling a little. "Does Cam work - can Sibyl check whether Cam works -"

She wraps her arms around him. She does not need her hands; she can just levitate her crystal ball where she can see it. "- Cam works," she reports when she's opened Sibyl's message. "Okay, so he can narrow down where he is. - Do you want to go park in Space, Sibyl wouldn't be able to see him coming but Loki's stuff should still work fine in the Edda neighborhood -"

" - do you need me for anything -"

"I don't think so and I definitely don't need you to be here in particular for anything, it's okay."

Pop.

...and if he could confirm to her over the network that he arrived safely that would be great for her peace of mind -

- okay.

Sauron turns out not to even be in the Milky Way galaxy. He's off far away in another galaxy that is in fact too far away to have its own name according to any Milky Way species of which the Alpha Quadrant's common knowledge is aware; it has a number in Federation records. She tells Rúmil as soon as Cam gets back to her on that.

So probably not following you - does the wizardry teleport, parameterized for population from Telperion, land you in Warp?

Checking that next, I want to narrow down the spatial targeting so I don't land wherever he did though.

Is Space Rúmil on the network, he was at that one party...

Yep.

He can get a message while she starts figuring out how to best handle her teleport parameters. Space Elves were always brought back from forks after capture - You're really really sure you're not in Utumno, right?

As much as anyone who wasn't captured, which I think in Space should probably be 'less than completely certain' but we try not to dwell on it.

Can I ask you something that would be an obvious scenario setup if you were not sure of that.

- is he okay -

He's fine, but there is a loose, wizard Sauron in Warp. And in Ithil your alt got recaptured and then psionically obliterated and it is unclear if we should even try getting her back once Loki has generic resurrection, and I do not have a specific reason to expect anything to happen to Scroll but if something did would I ever get him back -

- he would probably want you all to be damn near omnipotent but yes, once it was actually safe -

Okay. Thank you.

Of course. Are you all right?

Just nervous. And upset about Ithil Rúmil.

Is there a reason we can't do the equivalent of rolling back the flat ones?

Me or a psion could delete the memories. I'd do it if somebody asked but without asking it seems different.

All right. Please do find Sauron.

Working on it.

She finishes her parameters. She goes to Telperion.

She lands in Warp.

She tells her own Rúmil that parameterizing for population does in fact get Warp.
