Nefreti counts on her fingers. "A crater visible from the space station, an angry lecture from the forces of order, a change to the laws of physics, an awakening of things in the depths, and a parrot."

"As the local representative of the forces of order, that sounds like a plan I'd want to veto in advance?"
"It's a station in space," says Nefreti patiently. "...people say 'space' when they mean, specifically, the space where there isn't any air. You can see lots of things from it, the crater is not objectively that big."

"How about we just don't do the thing that involves a change to the laws of physics and all that."
"Nearly destroying Dis with a magical superweapon involves a change to the laws of physics," says Nefreti, peeved.

"How about we don't change the laws of physics for something much less significant than destroying Dis."

"So we need to find plans which either cause horrible devastation or don't rely on Arazni's time stop. Much as I would love to cast Arazni's time stop, I'm feeling inclined toward the latter category."

And she doesn't want to explain it in front of Morgethai. Great. Now he likes it even less.

"I can cast a variation on greater possession where I could possess you, and then return control of your body to you. We would have to test it, but I believe this might allow me to cast a time stop and have it affect you. And you could then attempt to dispel the gate… With a greater maximize rod, I can get you eleven moments across three time stops, which should suffice, I think?"
