Though he canβt argue the point, sarcasm or not β Stephen is always in the market for new connections and allies, given that heβs of the mind that theyβll all have to work in tandem to approach the Singularity problem.]
Right. A turn of the moon. [Verbiage is a strange thing. βMonthβ feels like a mundane concept, but itβs an assumption on his part when everyone comes from a world where the definition canβt possibly be the same.] But I canβt answer your question exactly. Itβs not as though the process itself is widely known β itβs just a matter of inference.
After all, if you could fill the ranks of Summoned with more than just a handful every few months, wouldnβt you? The only thing that could be stopping them is a matter of resources, as you said.
