Then what you want to accomplish is something akin to installing backdoor access on the teleporter, is that right? One that gradually builds upon a base request to restore full functionality to all users, and not just those aligned with the Augur?

[It makes sense, especially if it's packaged like the latter part of Jeremiah's though process. She turns more fully to face him, and there's a scheming sort of light in her eyes now, almost ominous in how it sparkles.]

The Augur wants us to power this world, correct? Through a system of incentives. Permitting people to send objects home won't necessarily distract from that, but rather give them something else to work towards, thus further incentivising participation. [She shakes her head. Frowns.] Or that's how the Augur might be convinced. I don't think that such a message would serve the general population well, and I'd rather not encourage compliance more so than the conditions of this world already do.

[If she knew about Anya, she might have picked up on that element of selfishness, but according to my gmail search she hasn't once come up in conversation between them, so Cornelia leaves it be for now, not wanting to leap towards any conclusions when she still knows so little about what life is like post-war.]
