( The action girls are shooting the shit and they’re having fun with it; he doesn’t touch the parachuting ideas. But the conversation does get some wheels turning, so he starts to ponder another angle: )
If it were possible to divide a working eluvian into pieces without breaking it… not just half, but many smaller pieces like pocket mirrors. Put two eluvians face-to-face so the other end connects to a safe location near us.
Then, for the pocket-sized end, plant them at dead-drop locations for Riftwatch’s connections and agents. At the end of a small tube, or the bottom of a secret mailbox. Someone on the other side of the continent could drop in letters with their reports and information. Presto, you’ve got a mail room. Faster than waiting for a raven, and you don’t have to give away a sending crystal.
