"This is a bit off the subject. How do you hope to secure the process so that it's impossible for Amentans to examine or steal relevant components of the transporter?"

Permalink

Sierra has quite a bit of technical details Vira wrote up on this.

Permalink

Which T'Mir can nitpick for quite some time.

Permalink

Sierra will pass on the nitpicks to Vira! This is actually quite helpful.

Permalink

Helpful? Her? Never.

Permalink

Sierra will get all the useful advice out of T'Mir she can, though trying not to make the proposal seem any more in need of pol-ishing than she has to.

Permalink

Eventually they will have something that T'Mir is willing to spend her colleagues' time on once they have finished their various meetings.

Permalink

Sierra will arrange a joint meeting then, with the Federation officials, Lucien, Moira, and an Amalien scientist who has an earpiece with Vira on the other end. 

Permalink

The observers confer about their findings, which add up to it being the case that the Amentan clean majority would in fact exterminate the reds with barely a qualm if it were convenient to do so and are willing to let the Amalien Expanse clean them so that they will not have to have their freedom of movement further restricted, whereupon they will live on a space set aside on Katme and do local business with Ferengi investment. The other Federation representatives are at least as nitpicky as T'Mir but she's anticipated most of their objections and given Sierra time to respond to them, with the result that they determine that one of them should stay on-site to monitor the process of transporting sixty-five million reds and report for backup if there is a breach despite the security precautions (T'Mir and the Tellarite both volunteer, the Amaliens can pick) but they can go ahead with this local one-time intervention as described.

Permalink

Sierra conducts interviews with th Tellarite and T'Mir to figure out which to pick. She wants someone who is going to be fair, and hopefully care about the treaty because it lets them have peace and not cause they think the Amaliens were doing bad things and the treaty is the best they can get to stop them. She asks mostly about how they would decide on a few really weird edge cases that ob-viously won't really come up to figure this out.

Permalink

T'Mir principally responds to the edge cases by asking lots of questions about the details of the hypothetical scenarios. The Tellarite seems to be the type who wants to consult his colleagues before deciding anything.

Permalink

T'Mir can have hypothetical answers. The Tellarite can have a short interview.

Permalink

"If it were necessary to transport reds a greater distance, if for example longer periods of immateriality were required for ritual purposes, I think we'd run into more security issues - you'd have to secure both ends, and you might leak salient information to the Amentans if they had to be informed of any constraints on the power draw per unit distance or intervening obstacles or what have you. If these were obviated, though, I see no reason we could not come to the same conclusion we reached today."

Permalink

That's a reasonable answer. Sierra decides on working with T'Mir since she is more promising then the Tel-er-ite for avoiding delays if unexpected situations come up.

"Peek a boo."

Moira is attempting to play peek-a-boo with Peka's kid while entirely to self-conscious when she gets the news. 

Permalink

"Eeehee!" says Katin.

Permalink

(Moira is finding peek-a-boo much more difficult than she expected, it's rather difficult to do without making herself seem silly.)

 

 

"Peka dear, they've approved cleaning reds enmasse, we can setup a checkpoint for immigrants to your new city within the week."

They'd been holding off on starting the city until approval came through, to simplify pollution worries.

Permalink

"Oh, I'm so glad they didn't find some excuse to hold it up!"

Permalink

"I've already had an estate setup, I can deed the adjoining guest house to you today if you'd like."

Permalink

"You're not even just renting it to me?"

Permalink

"Not when I went through all the trouble of building it for you dear."

Permalink

"Do you have pictures, can I see?"

Permalink

"I suppose I can show you a glimpse."

And they are standing somewhere else, with a slightly translucent hologram overlaying the room they were in to show the intricate front garden/lawn hybrid of an extremely nice mansion by Amentan standards.

Permalink

"Oh that's gorgeous, like you'd see it on an aesthetic blog..."

Permalink

"I think you'll love the inside even more."

Moira lets the image fade. 

"But I'll save that for an in-person tour I think."
