Elsewhere:
Maitimo wakes up.
The room is littered with forensic conjurations of people and notes and wands and books and planets. In the room is Ms. Chua, and a black-winged demon. Looks too straightforwardly Asian to be naturally occurring.
"Maybe there should be pushes for training them in specialized daeva skills as well as training human doctors and engineers."
"I've been assuming there are angel medical schools same as there's a demon medical school."
"The demon one's free and just for fun, right? Angels might have tuition we could pay or something, or maybe theirs is free too..."
"Possible, yes. And make sure there are summonses for whatever language the curriculum's in available - harder if it's a language humans don't use -"
"Not especially, I could get lots of people to learn it and then summon people."
"Bella's world compared to Godspring has much higher literacy rates - it's virtually every adult without a disability and most of the children - so the dots needn't be as personnel-heavy, but it has a higher population and a lower death rate so the demand will be high and the turnover to relative summoning instead will be slower."
"It's going to be a strain but we do need to do it eventually. What're response times right now?"
" - if Bella doesn't want more subjective time to pass before we're ready to handle Arceus she could step into Stork, which is also paused, and then we could go get her when those are a little better - with that wait time even if it doesn't increase the dots just won't be tractable..."
"I don't blame you. But we can't do a rollout to a world with a population of several billion with wait times already several minutes, they'll hit half an hour or an hour."
"I think it's still paused if you go into somewhere else from Milliways. We'd have to check." Sigh. "We could get both your parents really fast with a fairy if they'd be willing to come."
"Renée would think it was cool but I think Charlie would think it was weird. And they don't want to live together."
"Could try alternating in which worlds time is passing on some kind of schedule."
Sigh. "Better payments don't help, more people take summons but they take fewer of them because it doesn't take many to get what they want. It'll be a generation before you get real turnover to just summoning relatives and even then you'll get people who want to stay home instead of being dismissed and resummoned -"
"If there are more daeva who want children - especially couples - we could make a batch of those available conditional on doing summonings and dismissals for shifts."
"Well, there might be that many now as long as we're cognizant that the alternative is a Godspring orphanage for the kids and don't demand flawless parental screening, but there won't be when the orcs finish the artificial womb."
"I don't think they're that close, since neither Revelation nor Sanity Valinor had that on the horizon and they're more technologically advanced. But - yeah." Sigh.
