Back in Orocide, Tolesli has been studying English and following the news from the diplomatic center.

He finds an Earth-human who looks official. "I want to be a person of Exodus. I know that it's dangerous and I might get sick worse, but I'm sure that it's what I want."

(A version for werewolves might be available in 4-6 weeks.)

"-Uh, let me figure out who to ask about that."

Ten minutes later the nurse comes back. "They want to know if you're fleeing danger from your home country. And that there's not necessarily any guarantee you'll be able to go back, and you'll have to learn English and technology basics, we'll organize classes for it once we have a few immigrants. Of course we'll do our best to heal you but at this point the disease does seem to not be too alarming, from a medical perspective, I think you'll recover fine either way."

"I'm kinda fleeing danger - Not now, but if they discover that I asked to immigrate to Exodus then I'll be in danger."

"Okay, well, the answer they gave me for 'yes' was 'Exodus welcomes everyone, and we haven't agreed to an extradition treaty yet', so I guess that's fine probably."

That's ominous! But his chances are still better in Nivis.

And of course he has a mission!

"I understand. I want to be a person of Exodus. I want to leave Lei, and I want to warn you about them, and now that I'm doing that, they'll be angry and I really want to leave Lei. Officially, when do I become a person of Exodus?"
