All the same, demons are thought to be able to travel at light speed, so could in principle produce a twin-dial clock, available to both station and train, although it is unclear how that could be of help to anyone other than demons themselves unless they could become an interstellar ISP. And if they got a useful role, they might get free from messing things up and win a few prizes here and there. -- Harbinger.
