[You got mail from an unlikely source. Saelfen has been missing for several days, since the last Sleepr post. However, Vaeros' sudden absence, along with the Network as a whole, has prompted him to take action.]
Forgive the sudden intrusion, but we must talk. It deals with Vaeros' disappearance and the loss of a rather...useful feature.
I remember you claiming to be both a man of both science and sorcery.
I'd like to speak with you about establishing new lines of communication using the crystals we have. I'm confident that it is possible to create something that has the same functionality as the network we previously used.
At this point, all that remains is to figure out "how". I believe we could use some method to convert mana into the energy required to reform such communication, but even my knowledge of this is limited.
However, I firmly believe we don't need Vaeros to complete such a task.
I agree that it should be possible to recreate the power source. I have little familiarity with how these devices were powered, but I can speak to how such a thing would be powered in my own world.
However, neither can I offer more than the explanations of the theory involved. My own powers are yet to return; as such we would require something to serve as a suitable source even simply for testing such matters.
A reliable source of power, hmm? So how about the Crystal itself? The main one, not the small shards they gave us. If the Crystal is powerful enough to split our reality into multiple timelines, it can power a whole new network.
It's simply a matter of "how" once more. I'm bereft of all my abilities, outside of my ability to enchant mundane items with various properties.
Crystals are frequently used as sources of power on my world. Though I would wonder if it expended any of that power in splitting this reality as it had. If so it may not currently have enough energy to power the network. Though should it work like the ones of my own reality, it would similarly be capable of recharging itself. It is merely a question of how long it might take.
That said, should you wish to speak in person I could offer rough sketches of how such a thing might be used in my own world.
Are they? In my world, only certain crystals are valuable for reasons other than cosmetics. They are usually shards with an elemental charge, such as lightning or fire.
True, the Crystal itself may be weakened as a result of the shattering process. However, if we use my ability to encapsulate just a fraction of the Crystal's powers into smaller crystals, we may be able to offload some of the power required to rebuild a new network.
This is just an idea, one that I'm not even certain would work. However, what do we have to lose?
Yes, let us speak in person. You name the place and when. I'm available the entire day.
My workshop is currently under construction and feels a little cramped. Therefore, your place of residence will suffice.
Make sure to prepare a pot of tea for us. We'll need refreshments as we plan to accomplish the nearly impossible: create something new for the masses to enjoy as they will.

I have noticed the first.
[He doesn't use the network regularly enough to notice the other, though he has seen the change in the devices themselves.]
And you remember correctly. What had you wished to speak of?

I am likewise available. My place of residence should suffice, unless you would rather another location?

[Tea, at least, is not particularly difficult, even without his abilities.
Are you aware of where I reside or will you require further directions?
no subject
Hell, we might be neighbors for all I know.
