"Well maybe try that, it'd be simpler; Though I don't think any of us want to die or fork to be your test subject."

"I don't blame you."

"I'd fork! That sounds really convenient actually - dear will you also -"

"I can't say it sounds really convenient actually."

(Afen and Nertel giggle).

"Stealing from Mandos will annoy the Valar so should wait until everyone can portal home anyway."

"Yeah, fair enough. But then we have to attempt it."

"Yep."

Rebecca pats Kat. "I wonder how long they'll take."

They take another month and then notify Círdan that there are ocean portals to Amenta and to the other Valinor and to Earth.

"Are they going to stay put -" asks Shasali. "Did they get the right Amenta, where did they aim them..."

"I think they're permanent until the Valar decide to call it off for some reason - no information on the other questions -"

"I need to get home and find Klimati, I keep having nightmares that she tried to go to my parents' and got stuck on the way," says Isama.

Hug. "Yeah, let's go, the wizards can fly us."

Home they go! To a world where they have been mysteriously disappeared for months house and all!

Yeah the theories ranged from aliens to some kind of invention backfiring to aliens to very stealthy military action to reds, somehow, to aliens. 

Is any of this preventing Isama from going sister-hunting.

Are they clean from whatever the adventure was -

They can take another shower just to be really sure ugh.

After that no one will interfere with Isama going sister-hunting.

She finds that Klimati has, in accordance with her will, been able to frictionlessly continue to retain the housekeeper and make Intercept hire her an actual carer for things beyond the housekeeper's scope and she is fine but missed them very much.

They are really glad to be back!!!! 

And he explains to his colleagues that yup, it was in fact aliens, aliens and alternate universes, do they want to go say hello to alternate-universe Amentans who made contact with aliens earlier in their history.

That sounds great!

They think it sounds less great after they find out about the red who married one of the alien princes, the fuck. Can she go through decontamination please.

"We definitely can't let any aliens over until she does but I don't think she has much incentive and it'll definitely make the aliens mad - they're really unreasonable about the whole thing -"
