“There are many ways to pursue immortality down here, but all of them require the safety of The Neath’s sheltering roof. To argue against such a Law above the surface is currently beyond the ability of beings such as we.”
That was it. It couldn’t be done.
And then The Academic lifted a claw, and uttered one of science’s most singularly lovely words: “But. If there is such a method, I will warrant that the answer is to be found within The Red Science, and that it will be written down in Correspondence.” The Academic made a check mark next to The Socialite’s name, and added an illegible symbol. “If you are set upon this goal, then there is a posting which I may be able to recommend you for. However, you’ll need a very impressive project. Start researching which Red Science applications can produce an anatomical effect. Especially if it happens to be life-saving. That would be especially pertinent.”
