"I know! We don't technically have a large enough sample size to say that's impossible but it doesn't seem likely."

"It doesn't. Although the possibility of a second chance at eclipsing in a new world is potentially concerning, might have to redo control training for a second type of magic... I'll have to keep an eye out."

Permalink

"Yeah, if it did happen it could be a bit of a disaster, what with you having eaten a ton to manage lookaheads."

Permalink

"Yep. Fortunately I am seldom on planets I did not expect to be an hour previously and I will definitely make extra sure of that on any planets due eclipses."

Permalink

"And other eclipsed hop lots less than you but should also probably have you look out for it."

Permalink

"Yeah. Definitely needs attention."

Permalink

"Also got people who didn't eclipse on Earth who wanna hang out in Arda next eclipse of ours, in case you get two chances at it. I'm sort of inclined to let them, assuming they fast -"

Permalink

"Yeah, agreed, the distribution of eclipses is pretty unfair and giving some people a second shot seems all to the good if they want it and prep."

Permalink

"And aging and so forth'll be solved faster."

Permalink

"Can also run out-of-universe people by, though it's less use to them."

Permalink

"Yeah. Doesn't take long to try it though."

Permalink

"And even less time to check what would happen if we tried."

Permalink

"Yup. I like being a precog."

Permalink

"I noticed! Though apparently you might want to stay out of Valimar. Luckily nothing interesting ever happens there."

Permalink

"I wouldn't want to offend the poor conscientious objectors."

Permalink

"It's such a strange thing to decide you have a urgent principle about."

Permalink

"It isn't that odd, some people on Earth complain too but they usually compromise what with the thing where we save the world a few times every couple years."

Permalink

"You'd think that'd help, yeah."

Permalink

"It'd be a much less appealing time investment if we were only allowed to use it for eclipses and watching dedicated precog-informant channels and not for everyday!"

Permalink

"Not to mention how unenforceable -"

Permalink

"Yeah, totally, you'd need to have invasive psions checking everybody to see if they were working on it, and then you have a who-psions-the-psions problem..."

Permalink

"Ingwe hasn't decided on a policy but she's just assuming she'll have total voluntary compliance."

Permalink

"Less farfetched there than it would be most places. Long as they have a way to call out if they have an eclipse problem and aren't too stubborn to do it."

Permalink

"I assume it will be impressed upon them."
