She bounces back. "Found one!"

"Cool! Do you have a guess of how many passengers you can take at once?"

"Maybe fifty? There's a lot of them but if I just keep singing I can probably get them all."

"You could also have a recording and headphones so you wouldn't have to sing constantly - in case the orcs don't want to be sung to, also -"

"Okay. Who wants to go to a planet that doesn't have any Elves on it?"

She gets some volunteers. Not many, not even fifty, but some. "You can just check it out and I'll bring you right back."

Bella gives Lúthien a set of headphones and a recording.

And she shows orcs the planet, and then brings them right back after they've had a few minutes to tromp around curiously.

What do you think? Bella asks them.

...nothing bad happened right away. No Elves to kill, though. It is unclear if they're obliged to try harder to kill Elves.

It seems unlikely that this is a requirement they have since a minute ago they were all for her turning all Elves into magic rocks.

Well, yeah, because that gets rid of Elves, even if it's not as good as killing or torturing them. This doesn't.

Orcs moving to another planet will not make it any harder to turn Elves into magic rocks. It will in fact free up her attention for that project.

Can they just try it out for a week? Might not be anything to eat.

What do they normally eat?

Animals? And grain-based things?

Maybe they could bring some food and some animals and seeds with them?

Sure, if the animals can eat the things on the strange world.

Bella does not actually know how likely it is that a planet chosen via Lúthien's teleportation is biocompatible with orcs and local animals, but the fact that her planet and this one match well enough is encouraging. What is their current food source, seeing as they're besieged?

Melkor created or imported food for them. He could turn rock into food.

Okay how many orcs are there here.

Eight hundred thousand.

Do any of these orcs happen to feel really enthusiastic about the colonize-a-planet-with-no-Elves-on-it plan.

Yep! Several eager volunteers.

So Bella explains the wishes thing. She's not going to make becoming a magic rock available to orcs at this time but they can still wish some things about the planet that would make it appealing.

Orcs don't want to be a magic rock, they swore to be orcs. They line up to make wishes about the planet, though.
