"This is salvageable."

"It is! Totally is. No evidence we needed all four anyway, and you can make more, right? It'll be missing all the programming... not worth trying to reimplement all the software on Vah Rudania. We can just have two of one. We can have any number of them! This is fine."

"You can make more Divine Beasts, right."

"I don't see why not..." He makes a little model one. "Yes but like the Sheikah Slates they will not be charged."

She sighs.

"They are, strictly speaking, the same kind of thing as the Guardians... the Gorons did take a serious go at destroying Rudania sixty years ago, so they'll miss it the least, at least. Think of it, some Rito also tried shooting down Medoh a couple of decades back, but that was an accident. Mostly. So you're not the first to think of it... the first to succeed, I guess. Oh no, Linky will be so upset. And Zelda, too... did you see Daruk? The Goron champion, his ghost would be in Rudania?"

"I didn't get that close, no."

"...Well, nothing to do about it now."

The wind is taken pretty much out of her sails.

"Um, so I was going to say. If the ancient Sheikah were anything like modern-day ones, they would've had a lot of ideas they wanted to create, but couldn't. Especially since all the records suggest that their relationship with the Hylians, which provided most of the industry base for the projects against Ganon was... strained, at times. And they definitely had a much better understanding of Calamity Ganon than we do, seeing as their plan worked to a tee and ours... didn't. And was mostly recycled from their plan.

"So the first step we want to do, if we're taking this seriously, is to reconstruct as much of their knowledge as we can, and see what we can make happen. If we can seal Ganon for even longer, or forever, or even destroy him altogether. The powers of the Divine Beasts are very obviously tuned to oppose Ganon, so maybe there are methods even more extreme we can build with your powers, to remove him for good."

"That would be cool. Can you point me to some things to conjure, or like, tell me what their language is called and I can get whatever they wrote down in material format?"

"There was supposed to be a library of Sheikah knowledge in Hyrule Castle used by the Joint Corp of Royal Engineers, when the Divine Beasts were built. The wing it's supposed to be in was destroyed three thousand years ago in a siege of the Castle during a civil war, and it was probably long gone before then anyway. We don't know the specific room or name of the archive. Is that enough to get it?"

"Probably. Where do you want it, I'm worried that if I try to format convert it I'll be obscuring something about how it'll fail if it fails."

"Full size, outside, I'll find a place—we should get Robbie in on this; he's in the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab."

"I stopped by his place first and gave him some ancient stuff to study but I could go get him?"

"Oh! Why didn't you say so? He's going to be so annoying about relocating again... you know what, if you can make Sheikah Slates, we can whip up a few more and everyone can teleport to and fro as they like. I don't want to get in another argument about which site has better geothaumics. Symin, are you done?"

    He pokes his head in throught the door: "Just done linking the travel gate."

"Upgraded or standard?"

"Upgraded, may as well."

He makes a half a dozen of them in a stack on the nearest table-esque surface.

She picks them up, moves over to the pedestal-and-stalactite installation, and slots in the first.

"So the thing about the travel gates is that they have to be paired in person: you can't copy a pairing from one Slate to another. And annoyingly, if the gate loses power, you have to pair them again, so I don't have a bead for the Akkala lab right now. But once we have one paired, we'll can haul the rest over and get all the others paired. There aren't any Rito around, so if I hire a Hylian runner, even on horse, it'll be a few days before they we get that handled. Do you have any clever solutions for that? A remote-controlled hot air balloon, or something? Or I can dig up a Sheikah designed once we find the right archives, which might take a day in itself."

"I can make a remote controlled drone though I would not tend to prefer the hot air balloon form factor."

"Can it take a Slate all the way back to Akkala? I can write Robbie a note for what to do with it."

"Sure, no problem." He makes a small delivery drone and pops the compartment.

Emplacement! She puts the one they were just setting up for Cam, "so we don't have to wait while the next one syncs to our travel gate."

Then she'll finish flashing Cam's Sheikah Slate 2.0 and take them outdoors.

"Library first, then I'll leave you to play with your new toys or do what you like? Do you live somewhere in Hyrule, by the way, or are you in need of a plot of land if you need to set up shop?"

"I do not currently live anywhere. I don't have to sleep so it's not urgent."
