There are a lot of Amentan countries. Vanda Nossëo representatives are dispatched to all of them. These Elves (two with black hair, one with silver) take a shuttle down from the lightleaper to a country called Calado, and radio ahead to request permission to land at a elegant modern spaceport.
It's about as dense as a Tapai city but designed by people who would find every building in Tapa intolerably ugly. The population is mostly Elves, but not entirely; there are winged people of various kinds flying around, some people who look like Amentans but with alien hair colors, periodic even-weirder-than-that people.
...for some reason she can read all the signs just fine.
He arranges for Vanda Nossëo to give Tapa servants one neighborhood at a time. Any other countries want that?
It'd be a real mess if they ran into that 'deaths resulting from alien activities' problem Rivik ran into, so they'd better either be really sure they can do this without killing reds or be prepared to actually prosecute for any red deaths that result, does that disqualify anybody?
They have to convict them of murder or manslaughter as appropriate, frequently enough that the conviction rate passes external scrutiny. If their penalty for murder is a day or two in lockup then that's fine, some species don't really go in on punitive handling of crimes.
Countries with real penalties get to go first. But that is, legally speaking, adequate, and eventually they'll get their turn.
Maybe in a hundred years they'll be ashamed of themselves.
He pays attention when Tapa gets to Peka's neighborhood.
Outwardly it's a very normal red neighborhood. Everybody presents themselves for cleaning. Peka has beads in her hair.
She'll meet them there. She scoops up Katin and -
- keys are mysteriously not working.
...they go to Ambarona anyway.
