Okay.

(The internet is seething with rage and misery about the beautiful perfect forest planet being for reds.)

There will be more beautiful forest planets. You don't get an oxygen atmosphere without plants around.

She herds blues and greens; the faster they get this over with the better.

They're getting, they're getting. (Scouts scramble everywhere looking for more beautiful forest planets.)

The next one they find is a water world, with several big gorgeous islands and two suns.

Maybe the reds could have this one instead. Less land area. Eh?

She'll go along with that if the reds go for it, but she really doesn't think they're going to go for it.

(DZ writes up a paper about potential deals that might be fair to them. 'They also get a second planet', for example.)

The reds are a little scared about not going for it.

Yeah that doesn't really meet her standards for 'wanting to go for it'.

The next planet they find is coming out of an ice age; it's still cooler than Amenta, but warming, and covered with lakes and new-growth boreal forests. The year is longer, but they should season there just fine.

This calms most people down at least a little about the beautiful forest planet.

Anyway the reds can't have two planets because then they'd probably want a way to go between them and reds can't have that.

Yeah, that's not a fight she's going to win with politics, she doesn't even comment on it.

Reds: go?

Reds nervously go. (The pilot who takes them there is very grim about the entire matter. Poor perfect forest planet, terrible wrong in the service of a greater good but needs must.)

Reds step onto the surface, carrying their things.

Good.

Reds are a little overwhelmed by their beautiful forest planet.

Yeah, no surprise there. Not much she can do, though, they're as prepared as she could get them.

She spends the trip home drawing robotics diagrams.

Everyone is suitably grateful for those.

She lies low for a little while, churning out robotics papers, and keeps an eye on the internet and the news from the pretty forest planet.

The pretty forest planet is having a... time. Nobody has died yet. They are working on permanent dwellings.

Yup, colonization is hard.

Is the internet calming down at all?

They want to go be on the other planets! It is super sad and gross that there are reds on the forest planet but at least it's only one and no other colonies will have any.

Well, the robots are coming along. She finishes diagramming all the parts - it's actually really handy that she's got a DZ-model droid to work from, they're conveniently modular - and then cobbles together something to get a copy of DZ's programing with. This slows her down - she spends a solid month testing it - but eventually it passes her scrutiny, and she sends the results (without DZ's memories or personality matrix) off to the greens.

And the reds are going to NOT murder them, right?

See, this is the beauty of the reds having something nice: they want there to be robots, too, so they can go to their planet.

Reds are confusing and evil, they can't just assume that.

If it will make them feel better they can do all the research in one place and she can hang out there too; she'd notice a riot forming way before it did any damage. But they're really not going to.

If she would be willing to magically bodyguard the robotics research that would actually be great!
