"We can't get to other planets and we can't make them have seasons."

"Shadows can't move that many people. You have so many. And I'm not sure they can do seasons, I don't know how those work."

"Yeah, it won't do everything for population pressure here, but it'll be amazing for the people who can go. If you can't move all the reds what are you planning to do about them?"

"Not sure. If elementals can do seasons maybe they can do them in the rainforest."

"If they can, other people'll want it."

"It's mine."

"They might go to war for it."

"And reds have been in it, now."

"Makes it less likely."

"And maybe seasons need maintenance."

"It would sure be convenient if seasons needed maintenance."

"If they didn't it'd probably be humans doing it somehow, not elementals. Artifacts."

"Do rainforest seasons temporarily and then maybe we can get artifacts for the planets."

"The artifacts would be a lot of development time off."

"Years or decades?"

"I don't know."

Nod. "How many people can a Shadow move at a time?"

"Couple dozen, maybe, but that's a single trip, they'd have to wait before they could go back."

"If we rescue all the Shadows in the world how many will that be?"

"I don't know. Hundreds probably."

"And of course many of them will just want to go about their lives and have nothing to do with this." Headshake. "Well, we'll figure something out."

"I hope so. Thanks for helping me pull off the rescue."

"Of course. I am glad it went smoothly and look forward to doing it as many times as needed until there are not elemental slaves."

"Could an artifact be made that does interworld travel?"
