"Yes, I figured since it was so surprising when I mentioned it. However, as a note of caution, I don't think the person who compiled this was terribly concerned with ethics, what with there being world-destruction rituals and sketchy telepathy and whatnot, so I don't think we can be positive they'd mention if there was some terrible side effect to going through this long ritual."

"If the side effects are worse than being dead we can just kill them again."

"Presumably, but I was thinking more along the lines of collateral damage. It's possible that, say, your dad wouldn't object to being fully summoned and ending the world, but the world would mind."

"--We can limit the damage, probably. There are wards--" he flips to a different section "--here, see, they don't last long before needing to be re-done but I can use them to keep Lucy in the house--it's why there weren't more casualties when--when we found out what happens when she gets so hungry her higher brain functions stop functioning. I don't know if they'd work on an ordinary human but someone who was resurrected might not count and even if they did the wards could be modified."

"I was thinking more along the lines of doing a test resurrection somewhere in space."

"--Well, be careful of the Mi-Go, if you do." 

Permalink

"The what now?"

Permalink

"I'm not entirely sure. The Necronomicon mentions them a few times but doesn't go into great detail. Apparently they come from space."

Cam's version is not paper. He searches for various spellings.

The Mi-Go come from Yuggoth, which is not explicitly stated to be another planet but yeah it's another planet. Or planetoid. Or moon. It's a rock in space of some description, almost certainly. They fly through space. They do unspecified but ominously referred to things to people if bothered. Avoid.

Scale model of Yuggoth, sans Mi-Gos?

"Okay, I know where this is, it's not terribly nearby. We can just avoid it."

"If we're going to try resurrecting someone can we try Mother."

Permalink

"I'd recommend someone you aren't personally attached to as the test subject."

Permalink

"...Okay. I don't know anyone who's dead who I'm not personally attached to." 

Permalink

"Yes, I was thinking maybe Ben Franklin or something, since he's on record as having wanted to pickle himself for later restoration."

Permalink

"...It sounds like you need remains," Wilbur observes, frowning at his copy of the Necronomicon, now flipped back to the resurrection ritual. "I don't know if it has to be the original remains or just chemically identical, the phrase 'Essential Saltes' is ambiguous." 

Permalink

"I haven't read through the whole thing but I'm up for disinterring Franklin's bones if making a copy of his corpse in a fresher state doesn't work."

Permalink

"Let's try it the other way first." 

Permalink

"Much more convenient."

Permalink

"We've gone this long without provoking an angry mob." 

Permalink

"I wouldn't need to bring you along for the graverobbing part."

Permalink

"That's probably for the best."
