It's not a surprise that Thorne had a deadman's switch. It is a surprise that it's strong enough to actually damage this place. The kid says her actual servers are elsewhere, she'll be fine, but they need to get to the emergency evacuation point before it breaks.
it is a little broken already. They will just have to take the chance.
Two adult women and a three-year-old girl land on the floor somewhere else with a thud.
Little bit of a smile. So. My brother will figure out how to make sure they aren't terrible. They'll want the - way of travelling between worlds - insanely badly, we don't have that.
Yeah we sort of don't either, it's complicated. The civilization that developed it died a long time ago and the thing itself was almost certainly destroyed in the crumbling cavern we escaped.
And I'm pretty sure it was supposed to put us somewhere else on our planet, it was already damaged when we got to it.
...On the other hand...when you say people would want it insanely badly...I assume you don't have magical girls as of yet...
She asks the child in her arms something, and the kid replies.
Magical girls? We do not have magical girls. That does also sound like something the government would want real badly.
Magical girls are really convenient! And the only person who can create them is my brand-new-I-think-developmentally-three-ish daughter. It's been a long day.

That's not the thing at all, I'm just - depending on the kinda magic it could be complicated for us to get it.
Does your world have people who - it'd be bad for them, if everyone came up with a way to do without them?
...I'm not thinking of any examples off the top of my head but that's not stopping screaming alarm bells from going off in my head.
Well. Here there are some people who will die if people figure out how to do without them.
I'm definitely not telling her to give people magic if they're gonna turn around and murder people.
People used to feel that way about my people. Some still do. They starved and tortured and worked half to death my father's parents, among six million others, for being Jewish. Or Romani. Or disabled. Or gay. Never. Again.
I'm Edie, and this is my sister Emily, and the sprog is like three hours old and doesn't have a name yet.
She's an incredibly powerful magical AI. I sort of threw mind magic at her until she turned into a person and then decided to generate a biological body and declare me her mother.
