There seems to be lots of it, mostly done by spellcasters and powerful sapient creatures. They haven't found any references to sure ways of blocking it. He could live on the Moon and do everything by drone, that's one of the best ideas so far.

The lag would be terrible! Also he would need Carissa's permission!

He checks the computer's clock when it feels like it's been about an hour of reading.

It has in fact been an hour.

...and Carissa and her surroundings are -

Alley in the city of Absalom. Her clothes seem - kind of shredded? But she looks intact and on her way in a hurry.

Is there anyone around her, how far away is she -

Maybe half a mile. There are some people nearby and...maybe some farther back in pursuit?

...okay. Optimal extraction protocol...

...probably he could just fly over and yank her into the ship with bungee cords, honestly, but that might not be a great idea, slightly exposed.

He lifts off for line of sight, makes a telescope, and gets a bead on her direct enough that he can conjure onto the scene. Pursuers still pursuing?

A couple of them, yeah. They seem to be - uniformed?

Carissa ducks into an alleyway and illusions herself again into a crippled beggar and huddles against the wall.

Hmmm, does it count as part of rescuing her if - okay, little speaker in her collar. "Do you need me or do you have it under control?"

- startle. " - life goes by so quickly," she mumbles to the wall. "But you do always get there in the end. You just want to make sure you don't have any unwelcome company."

"I'm going to take that as a deal-with-uniformed-pursuit? I can see you, you can nod or shake your head."

Nod.

Uniformed pursuit is tied up. He tries to time it to make it a soft landing.

Carissa proceeds out to the shuttle at a run, apparently unpursued now.

He takes off as soon as she's aboard. "What was that about?"

"Someone tried to mug me and I wasn't sure if they were just a mugger or an assassin and I'd bought a necklace of Fireballs so I detonated one. They were just a mugger. You're - allowed to use lethal force in response to violence but apparently not Fireball, in Absalom, because they worry about fires, which is reasonable enough of them." Sigh. "I got two bags of holding, one for each of us, and two necklaces of proof against detection and location which should make it more inconvenient for Cheliax to spy on his, and I got you a ring of Mind Shielding, which makes you immune to mindreading and Discern Lies and Detect Alignment, but doesn't do anything against mind control. One man told me he'd heard of mind-buttressing as an enchantment you can do on armor. He didn't have any on hand but I'm an armor enchanter and can make it for you if I can learn enough about it. He wasn't sure anything had been written about it - it's a rare technique - but you could check, right? And in the meantime this is a Rod of Absorption, you have to hold it ready - I can show you how - but then it absorbs spells directed at you. And this is a Cap of the Free Thinker, which improves your odds of throwing off mind control."

She is breathing hard and her breathing isn't especially slowing down now that the emergency is past; she's starting to get kind of flushed as a result. 

"Sounds like a good shopping trip till the mugging. Uh, are you... okay... I assume you'll turn me down if I offer you anxiolytics or anything..." He starts putting things on.

"Oh, I'm fine, I'm just having a shock reaction like a fifteen year old in their first combat situation, probably because it's been a long day. What is an anxiolytic? We do in fact drug fifteen year olds who are having shock reactions about their first combat situation, if the combat situation is ongoing. Interferes with learning from it but that's not always the top priority." 

"A class of drugs that reduce shock reactions."

"You can make me one you are pretty sure reduces shock reactions but does not kill people, not mixed with any other substances."

"Uh, if it's not mixed with any other substances I have to put it direct in your bloodstream, they're normally made in pills that have fillers to make them stay pill shaped."

Carissa doesn't really have a threat model for this but presumably he could've just not told her so that seems...fine? "- sure."

"And I will also require permission to treat you for allergic or other adverse reactions. In the manner considered best practices at my medical school which was oriented towards arranging the well-being of human patients."

"Actually, probably I will just be fine in a couple of minutes, thanks." She has taken classes on how to not get summoning-management related decision fatigue and make bad decisions. ...arguably this is a bad decision but she can't think of a way around that.

She clasps her hands so they stop trembling. "Thank you. For coming after me."
