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.

"If I put you on trial for violating peoples' rights I assure you I will leave you capable of speaking," he says very calmly.

"...anyway, I'll announce you." He gets on the intercom and announces that the demon Campbell Mark Swan has visitors and their names, and peers at security camera feeds. "Yeah there it goes. Down that hall third door left."

Cam's there sitting on a stool. He almost gets up to go to Timothy but doesn't quite.
