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.

"I wasn't worried you'd say. I did try observing to someone that since you wouldn't say a serious miscarriage of justice would occur but they didn't seem very moved by that."

"I really really don't think they'll find you guilty but even if they did the only thing you've been up to that I see it interfering with is the Melkor-killing."

"I do not foresee them objecting to those people being arrested. There are already circles out for them, right, maybe they can just show up and tell them that taking the circle is a better idea than not doing that."
