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.

Many commenters are extremely sympathetic. Some of them ask why the guy did it even though he already said he didn't know. A couple people have chiplocked computers and want to know what the heck he's talking about.

"I - don't think I'm quite as okay as I was before it happened? But I think what I'm doing is important, I want to keep doing it. I was thinking of trying to organize a strike on gags, in Hell, actually..."
"It's the easy kind of collective action problem where everyone gets an individual benefit whether or not participation rates rise high enough. Any demon wearing a shirt with writing on it won't get a random summons if the random summons has a gag. Before, you didn't have much choice if you wanted to take summons, practically all of 'em had gags. But now that Godspring and Sanity and Singularity have summoning -"
"Otherwise you could just wear a shirt that said in big letters 'I WILL MAKE YOU ANYTHING FOR A PHONE CALL' or whatever."
