"Yes. But we've eliminated one tool for being cruel to each other, at least." 

She nods. "One by one, perhaps we can fix the world's problems. Given time, at least."

"Time, at least, we have, now." 

"All of it in the world! We'll probably have to find a way to expand past this planet, if we are to restore everyone... Perhaps a longer-term project."

"Oh, that sounds fantastic. I'd love to see Saturn's rings up close."

"I wonder if it's just Earth with life - indeed, I wonder what the Outer Spheres even are; could you fly like a bird to one?"

"I don't know but I'm excited to find out!"

"We could send expeditions! We could lead expeditions!"

"That would be amazing. Imagine if humanity and the other peoples of the earth could walk the stars hand in hand as ambassadors to peoples yet undiscovered." 

"We could do contact between new civilizations right, for once."

"Well. Nausicaa's a good start." 

"I understand why her people would be wary of humans, just... Perhaps we should straighten out our own shores, before we set sail for new ones."

Nod. "I'm sure we can get our species under control somehow, if only in careful increments." 

"Learning is slow, but... Even the most obstinate student can be taught something."

"And we have such compelling incentives." 

"Indeed! We shall make a good moral education the cornerstone of our necromancy course."

"Maybe we have an entry examination with basic ethical questions on it." 

"Could be a bit easier to fake, but it'd certainly weed out the most hopeless."

"We could have some questions where the obvious mainstream 'correct' answer and the actual correct answer are different. I bet there are a few of those even with the premise that we're okay with necromancy." 

"A most interesting challenge. Perhaps we should also have an essay portion, for anyone who passes the initial screening."

"With the essay questions individually tailored based on where it looks like they're probably lying if they're lying at all." 

"That might be a bit hard to scale, or even determine, but could be possible for early applicants."

"We could have a staff of people whose whole job is coming up with essay questions! I'm sure there are trustworthy people who are awful at magic but the relevant kind of creative to handle essay questions." 

"It indeed requires a very particular sort of meticulous creativity, that is quite different from the skills employed in alchemy and necromancy."

"For that matter if individual tailoring turns out to be too much we could probably at least have different questions based on which questions on the standard exam they are suspected of bluffing."
