The Valar announce that they've done as much as they can in Singularity (they can't bring back peoples' babies in that critical period either, but they can get them earlier versions) and are setting up portals between there and Sanity as soon as they are confident they've cleaned up the plague. A bunch of Elf architects have this wild idea for a fivedimensional city where alternating intersections are interdimensional portals between various Valinors and they get eagerly to setting it up.
"It should have occurred to me that people could've been taken in their sleep without a chance to activate their suicide triggers. I wish I'd put a camera on the road from which I took the orc family so I could have noticed that it was actually a family with small children but I'm not sure any nonfamilies would have come by... It probably would have been responsible to start designing a best-case oath during otherwise unoccupied time as soon as I knew I could verify them to shorten negotiation duration even when I didn't know to expect it to come up."
"In an alternate Arda with the help of some Valar to contain the gravitational effect, and a fairy to remove nonresurrectable prisoners and the black hole itself, I have since holed an Angband on an inhabited planet but there were no irretrievable casualties. If there were similar overwhelming concerns as during the war and I was cut off indefinitely from the ability to seek multiversal help that might do it."
"I don't think I'm dangerous to passers-by but their feeling of safety seems likely to have as much to do with their opinions about demons and the spin in the media as my actual predilections."
The crowd assembled for the verdict is even larger than the one assembled for the trial; several billion people watch the live stream.
The court finds Cam not guilty of war crimes, murder, genocide, and conspiracy to commit war crimes; they find him guilty of conspiracy to commit genocide and of kidnapping. They recommend a sentence of restitution, already completed for the genocide part, and forty Years' supervised probation.
"Which means what, exactly," Timothy demands of Cam's lawyers.
"They'd like his summoner to be from here and they'd like him to check in every Year or send a note explaining why he can't, if something comes up. There are often also terms about use of intoxicants - relax, it doesn't involve a binding, it doesn't oblige him to stay here, he can go right back to doing what he's doing -"
"They should give him a medal."
"I don't disagree."
The orcs are consulted on appropriate penalties and would be delighted if Cam were to bring them cookies, or dinner or something what with the new baby.
"Oh no. How will I live without my intoxicants. - Unless it includes caffeine and then, seriously, how will I live."
"At least this one doesn't prevent me from walking towards people, I know why Ganymede puts that in but it's real obnoxious - will the snapping be before I get to the orcs' house or should I plan on getting them takeout?"
And are the Revelation observers now even angrier, or is four hundred years long enough -
They're grumbly and don't seem eager to hand over any of their current prisoner crop to this system but they aren't going to make a huge fuss.
Minor explains on his livestream that he got summoned by Jurassic Park but because he was gagged he couldn't explain that he can't make them eggs but he'd be happy to bring them a couple live dragons. "I really hate being gagged. I know someone who was gagged, once, and he saw a person in danger and couldn't even shout out to warn them. I'm always terrified something like that'll happen to me. Ow, Jedediah." He puts out a fire.
