"...do you-- or, I guess, Avalor-- want to pay me to be a Humans Consultant? Then I'll earn the money for my vacation fee and you can claim that you had no idea I wanted to leave."

"I mean, you're much more useful as a humans consultant than that other guy, so I'd be all for it."

"He was awful, wasn't he?"

"I don't know how he got a degree. Did he have one? There are amateur theologians that bad."

"He has a PhD in theology!"

"Yikes!"

"Sometimes I'm embarrassed about how long it took me to deconvert."

"How long was it?"

"I was 22."

"Well, you know, a lot of five year olds are still a bit silly."

"I guess I'm probably a bit young to be trying to achieve a successful first contact regardless..."

"Governor Avalor's five, people can be very competent very young. You're much more useful than that theologian human, anyway."

"We should probably take me to talk to Avalor so I can explain things..."

"Yes, let me -" The green pulls out her pocket everything. "She says fifteen minutes."

"Good. I wish I knew more about the rest of the world..."

"We have to go through Gilead, so Gilead information is more valuable anyway."

"I wish the door had opened in a Cascadian room. Cascadia would handle this sensibly."

"Or Canada, apparently Canada has tons of space."

"...Canada has refugees into Gilead."

"...freeing up more space? I'm not admittedly sure why people would want to move to Gilead but every now and then people voluntarily move into Shi Cubrio, so..."

"I mean, it's not a very competently run government, so it might screw up first contact. Cascadia doesn't have a lot of extra space so it could probably arrange some sort of diplomatic deal where you immigrate through them to Canada..."

"Okay. Why do people leave Canada for Gilead?"

"Well, Gilead's explanation is that Canada is full of atheists who hate God and the family and everything else that is good. But I think it's because in Canada a kid costs more than a house, and in Gilead you just need to go to church for a couple years and do volunteering and act like you believe in God. And maybe the diseases stuff, I hear that accepting gay men leads to lots more people having diseases..."

"Really? Ew. It doesn't for us, I think they're just as careful about that as everyone else. Why are Canadian kids more expensive -?"

"They don't let women be surrogates until they're 21."
