"I want to send like ten thousand people." And he summarizes how he picked dot locations and what sorts of expertise people would need to man a dot and - "if the circle is drawn in light, at a frequency humans can't see, and they flip the switch, they're the summoner, right?"

"Yeah, if the light frequency works at all - you can do 'behind a wall' if 'ultraviolet' fails. Are the ten thousand people there indefinitely or training locals?"

"Training locals. I was thinking three Years."

"Yeah, that's long enough if they're good at teaching humans."

"I don't know how good at it to expect them to be, but I want to keep Godspring paused while we do trainings and then have lots of resources for tackling problems as they come up." He waves some more people in. "Is there a model of computer or something that is sufficiently popular that we can just keep a thousand on hand to pay daeva for their time, it's going to be too much of a resource drain to do magic items..."

"Chiplocked ones are possible to install in daeva without a demon but it's really hard and unpleasant so you could pay fairies and angels that way if you keep a demon on hand. Off the top of my head not short of that, too many kinds updated too often."

"Okay, so compensation for daeva time is a problem, non-reproducible circles are a problem - maybe we do have to keep a demon on hand anyway, if we're doing vaccinations and so on..."

"A demon per dot?"

"Kind of a logistical nightmare at least until the locals start daevafying."

"Maybe demons would like a redmage."

"No."

"You don't need one per dot unless you need really fast turnaround. Still a lot. Redmages only come from five springs apart from the interdimensional moral sensibilities problem - green, though - But I don't think we want to add to aggregate demand for mage services."

"We do not. We're going to pension people out faster."

"Milliways has a lot to pay demons with but - yeah, one of the nice things about this approach if it works is that it scales fine to any preindustrial human society we run across and if we're digging deep enough to pay a ton of demons then that does not scale nearly as cleanly."

"Maybe figure out a portfolio of stuff we can keep in a closet such that there's probably something there that's worth the time of a random angel or fairy, have a couple dozen demons on resupply missions. Or screen ones who wanted to adopt children, wasn't there discussion about doing that?"

"There was, yes. There's not an infinite supply of demons who'd be into it but you wouldn't have trouble turning up thousands."

"Could make do with like a hundred if they only have to stock places up once a week or so. Mingling, want to find me a hundred demons who want to raise children in exchange for occasionally resupplying clinics?"

"Yeah!!!"

"Karen, Miranda, can you help me put together a curriculum on how to be of assistance to preindustrial humans for the Elves who'll be staffing these places - does anyone know how to administer vaccinations -"

"I only know how to do it directly..."

"Can I borrow representative Elves and a couple natives in case we don't anticipate all the mistakes they might make?"

"Yeah, definitely. I'm drafting an announcement describing who we're looking for, I'll toss some representative people at you once they sign up."

"I can probably teach myself to do injected vaccines and verify I'm doing it right and then teach people. Orally administered ones aren't complicated."

"Thank you! I would also really appreciate your help coming up with a binding that prevents greenmagery and to be safe while we're at it also Hazel wizardry."

"In full generality, no reversing existing greenmagery or curing anxiety disorders, no turning things polkadotted?"
