They share a border, but Tapa is big.

Nnnnngh going to hunt down a place where babies are probably not dying is not an effective use of her time. But she is so tempted.

The internet has no comment.

Yeah.

Sigh.

Other problems the world has, besides Tapai infanticide and Calado rabid mice and the fact that population control is necessary?

Tapa is at war with the only even bigger country in the world, Voa, over polluted food!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Okay.

Details? Any way she can make this. Not?

Tapa is trying to take a provinceful of Voan farmland so they can have domestic food security! They just ended a temporary ceasefire which allowed some evacuations of Voans there further west.

Lovely.

Okay.

She's going to go see if that adult Adaro is where she left her.

She has finished making lunch and there is some for the aliens if they want! "Hello."

"Hello! How do I get in touch with the Senator again?"

"I can let him know whenever you like that you're ready to go back in."

"I would like that."

Pocket everything stuff happens. "Cadra'll be by to collect you soon."

"Thank you."

She goes and explains all of the everything to her sister. Lunch is had.

And Cadra comes by.

She yellows everyone's hair.

And they go back to the senator's office.

Do they have to wait for the senator again?

Not as long!

"Hello," she says. "My Oahkar is much better. I looked at the internet. I think I don't want to work exclusively with Calado, both because this country seems to have a reputation as a metaphorical writhing snakes' nest, and because there is apparently a war between the two largest nations on the planet that I would like to try to stop sooner rather than later. I would also like to make it worth your and the Adaros' while to have helped me. Do you have any suggestions?"

"- how are you planning to stop the war?"

"Hi I'm a magic alien who can solve the food scarcity problems that led to you declaring war in the first place, I may be able to terraform and season planets in the future and countries I like get planets sooner, maybe we can find a diplomatic solution to this war war is terrible, hint hint."

"You can feed a couple billion people?"

"...It'll be hard and take a while and be boring but I think so."

"Might work if Voa'd string up the instigator."
