"If they considered it unsatisfactory, they wouldn't get it even if it's more efficient. You did read the description of how wishes work - this is something you consider satisfactory, not the minimum you consider satisfactory or the only thing you consider satisfactory or even the most logical outcome of your beliefs about what's satisfactory."

"I'm not so sure... maybe I should read it again. But if it were in fact the case that this were the only way to clean them you'd find it very politically inconvenient -"

"I think that it's very likely that if a solution is not agreed upon within the next few weeks and implemented over the next few months, then independent actors will begin to rescue any reds who they believe to be in danger, yes."

She winces. "But if we say they're clean and they're not really clean -"

"I understand and I assure you we're really pulling out all of the stops to come up with something adequate. But if there are five people here who each have something adequate, and we do all five..."

"If you hadn't had me along I wouldn't have thought to assume that the esteemed theologians who remained weren't covering it between them. But..."

"I understand wanting to be sure. I really do not think you have any information over and above that, except the information that this would also suffice.

If, say, under your interpretation the magic they have changes someone from 'inherently polluting' to merely 'currently contaminated and in need of a shower', you wouldn't get a power like theirs, because that's not satisfactory. But their powers and a shower would still be wholly adequate."

"Are they also taking showers?"

"If your recommendation is 'these five things and a shower' I will certainly make sure they all get showers."

"Well, it couldn't hurt."

He decides that's good enough. Can they have an adult subject this time to go through all five innocuous ones and make sure there's no inexplicable brain damage or anything.

The adult subjects from the volunteered neighborhood are all either already morphed or recently gave birth but they can get a recently gave birth.

Okay.

She seems okay.

Then they should do the kids.

They do.

It's not the most satisfying approach. He reminds himself that Peka and Katin are indestructible. 

He tells Tapa that servants could be provided to do the work if Tapa's prepared to clean and integrate everybody. 

Maybe once they're clean they could instead go be someone else's problem.

"I suspect many of them will want to do that but expelling a population involuntarily looks bad. We can set up appealing alternatives and advertise them aggressively?"

"We were thinking that if they weren't going to be here we could bypass the question of caste transition entirely."

"Oh, aliens can rent out land in Tapa without being blue?"

"...that's not what I said, but as it happens we aren't trying to prevent aliens from owning Tapai land and have no grounds to enforce an out of caste income cap on you."

"I was just thinking that the landowners would be the most reluctant to emigrate. Well, we don't have applicable laws that'd affect a non-member, it's all PR considerations and if you think that's what's best for Tapa we can definitely arrange for them to have somewhere to go."

"I think it's clearly positive sum for the reds to be moved somewhere that will better appreciate them."

Nod. "I'll tell places to start advertising."

Soon there are descriptions online of member states that take immigrants and their laws and living conditions and job openings there. 

Peka gets a big physical book of same, with glossy pictures and the page for Ambaróna circled.
