"I'm idealistic but usually hard to convince that I don't have overwhelming strategic value."

"And now we have alts but there're still no hints of -"

"Invitations to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good? Yeah."

"No hints of anything. I - don't quite believe it but I'm curious what happens when I start."

"If I start I assume they take Aydanci and I have to believe really really hard that no choices presented to me are there for my benefit."

Check.

"No one'll hold it against you, whatever you'd end up doing -"

"I know. Still."

Nod. Shiver. 

"I need to go back to him now I love you see you later."

"Love you. Take care."

He messages Niari. Spoke to Ms. Chua again recently, we had a productive conversation but one of her requests was that we tell the vlog demon, with whom we're now on very good terms, to 'take his acquittal and call it done', do you have a guess about what concretely I should be pushing for, there? No visiting your dimension, no more videos, no more unflattering expansions of the GCP acronym? 

Can you get him to pretend we don't exist? And not in a 'gosh, what a pity there are no daeva law enforcement organizations' way. He can make videos and take summons and we don't even care if he affects EU escort laws.

That I can definitely do. 

Great. I've been replaced as AU liaison and now I'm interstellar coordinator, you can consider me at your disposal for anything of GCP relevance!

I'm glad to hear it! Status with the daeva remains that if you figure out how to hold them I will figure out how to transfer them and in the meantime I'll let you know if the one not presently under arrest leaves the dimension where he's staying. It seems like the GCP might want to make sure all your bindings are resilient to various kinds of interdimensional magic, so I've asked for you to be top priority to hear about discovery of any new worlds with magic systems that might be persistent on daevafication. There's a summary package attached.

Our bindings consultant is on that now for all circles currently out. Can't update the existing bindings without a resummon; in your opinion should we risk that? The daeva themselves don't have extradimensional magic but if someone might try to break them out...

The most plausible avenue by which someone would try to break them out is probably using extradimensional magic against the summoners, not the daeva. We don't know of a way to protect against greenmagery; there's a way to protect against Hazel mind control but I take it it's a logistical nightmare to arrange to learn it. If you think it's plausibly worth it anyway let's discuss in person. 

Possible. I'll be moved into my new office Tuesday afternoon Singapore time; might be a bit jetlagged still but I'd be happy to see you then.

I'll look forward to seeing you.

And she's there then and Chua has her office door closed so Maitimo need not impose his presence upon her.

It's a better outlet for frustration than vaguely racist press releases, that's for sure. He has an outline of Hazel magic of interest:

memory charms (erase or with more difficulty alter memories, usually of the last few minutes but with sufficient expertise of several decades); detectable with Legilimency, no known counter unless the spell was cast to be reversible

Legilimency - mindreading, mostly inferior to the Elf kind but not perfectly so (for example, can be used to extract and review memories). Typically requires eye contact. Counter is Occlumency, which seems learnable by everyone with six months to two years of mental exercises

Veritaserum - truth potion. Occlumency counters it. Works on daeva only if they're permitting it.

Polyjuice potion - changes the appearance of the drinker to that of another person, for one hour. Works on daeva if they please. Popular in Hell these days mostly for sex; it's how the Hazel representatives have been paying demons when the ones they have interpersonal access to aren't sufficient for something.

Stupefy - renders the target unconscious for two hours in the case of a human or ninety seconds in the case of a daeva; Hazel wizards have been advised not to demonstrate efficacy against daeva except in a dire emergency lest it damage confidence in security.

Confundus - leaves target confused and suggestible, Occlumency counters it, ensuring daeva cannot cast this on summoners is a major priority to resolve before the Hazel rollout. Likely to work on daeva but has not been tested. Almost certainly insufficient to get a daeva to take a summons, common use cases in Hazel are low-stakes deceptions like 'you already took my ticket'  or 'no, remember, she's expecting me'.

Imperius Curse - indefinite absolute mind control. Works on daeva even when they're unwilling. One of the three Unforgivable Curses (the other two do torture and instant death; the instant death one has no effect on daeva and the torture one has not been tried; no one familiar with it is accessible and no one trustworthy is willing to learn it.) A feature of the Unforgivable Curses is that they must be cast with malicious intent; you can learn to throw off the Imperius through repeated exposure but someone cannot cast it on a target with the intent of helping the target learn to throw it off, the Killing Curse cannot be used for painless suicide, etc. 

"This part it would have been unwise to commit to writing but daeva can give themselves wizard genes if they want, after which if they can acquire a wand magic works fine for them. As you can see that dimension's a bit of a potential disaster."

"A bit, yes," she says, frowning at his computer projection. "That's chiplocked, right -"

"Of course. That's why we had to meet in person. But most of it can be found by conjuring for Hazel's written works anyway."

"We should see if a binding can hedge out a wand the same way it can a slogan on a T-shirt. Probably not, but it's worth checking."

"Minor'd be happy to participate in experiments to that effect, if you need him."
