He asks Dragon.

There aren't measures taken specifically to enable it but it's possible by default.

How do you manage inmate violence?

I mostly can't.

He gets back to work. Lorica graduates soon.

They're allowed to keep us past our birthdays, ostensibly as an identity concealing measure.

For how long?

Up to six months.

I am so so glad they couldn't get me, it'd have been a disaster on every level.

What if they gave you a PA?

And I didn't have to interact with anyone else and I had freedom of movement and could spend my time how I pleased? Yeah, that'd work.

The time part is the sticking point, if you're working for 'em they like you to actually do that.

Then they should work on less stupid stuff!

Alas!

Got a human to make a glowy thing. I had to refactor into smaller blocks and it took him about six times as long as it takes me but the error rate's just worse, not totally insurmountable. 

Okay, so not strictly an Elf thing.

Gonna let Dragon try her workaround?

I think so. Once it's out of our hands it's really out of our hands, though.

Yeah.

He writes Dragon. 

What's your proposed workaround?

Do you need to know?

Yeah, kind of. You're faster than us, if you can do this you can do very nearly anything with it, it matters what you want and I'm not especially impressed by generic heroing.

Worried I might uphold truth, justice, and the NAFTA way too hard?

I mean, the world's ending, if I have a choice between watching Newfoundland-sized chunks of it get eaten or bland dubious benevolence with a whole lotta imprisoning people then I give it to you and hope very much that the Valar do come through eventually. But I am still looking for choices that are nicer than that.

Silence.

What in the fuck does Dragon even WANT from me
