"Of course! Where do you want to go."

Permalink

"Somewhere not on any maps. Still within this galaxy, preferably."

Permalink

"I made myself a planetoid in this galaxy when you said I had to be here to talk to you with the pads, it's got room for two."

Permalink

"Does it have space for my archive?"

Permalink

"How big is it?'

Permalink

"It's approximately four percent of the total interior volume of the Citadel."

Permalink

"Should fit. How much of that is magic, everything that's not I can just remake you."

Permalink

"I would prefer to leave as little behind for the others to squabble over as possible."

Permalink

"Okay. When do we grab it all? I'll need to see it to target it specifically, unless you want me to steal the whole citadel."

Permalink

"Taking the entire Citadel would be undesirable. The archive is, by design, not directly visible from the outside, nor is there an interior vantage point. I do know the precise dimensions and relative location if that helps."

Permalink

"Not for that level of precision. I can come in and replace them all with copies like I did when we met, if you turn your security off."

Permalink

"It doesn't have an off switch, but I can add you to the authorized visitor list."

Permalink

"That works. Do you have a map of all the things you want grabbed -"

Permalink

"All of it, ideally, but I will create a priority list if this is infeasible. And I'll need to add your biometrics to the system."

Permalink

"I don't know if I have them anymore, I know proper demons don't. But I can appear you a sample or something?"

Permalink

"Fingerprints and a retinal scan are the minimum I can persuade the system to accept."

Permalink

"Oh, that I can do. How do we set it up?"

Permalink

"Teleport to my location in five minutes."

Permalink

He waits five minutes and then makes a model of where she is and shows up there.

Permalink

She's standing in a small room in front of a currently empty desk. She passes him a small scanner.

"Place your palm on top, then look into the lens after it beeps."

Permalink

He does that.

Permalink

Occlus makes some entries into the computer.

"The system will still be perturbed if you teleport directly inside, but if you come to this room and enter through that door, by placing your palm on the scanner and looking into the light, you'll be granted full access."

Permalink

"Okay. Do you want me to go through and replace everything with decoys now?"

Permalink

"You should make a safe place to put the real items first. But yes, the sooner this is done, the better."

Permalink

He pops back to his planetoid and makes an exact copy of her vaults. Lots of the stuff doesn't go through - magic, or connected to systems that aren't running here - but most of it's in place.

 

 

Then he teleports back. "Okay. Made a place for them. I'm going to go room-to-room putting things in the corresponding place in the new vaults I made."
