"If it's arable!"

"Let's do that right now, wars are terrible and I'm vaguely worried Voa'd jump at membership for the defense agreement and that'd be a terrible foot to start off on."

"It'll take a little while to fall back but we can get underway."

"Let us know what you need from us and where you want the land."

And he's referred to someone who knows what bits of ocean they'd like to leave for various ocean purposes and where they would like their land.

He comes back with a demon a bit after that. The land has to be shallow for sea level reasons but it happens demons have already thought about that kind of thing a lot. The coastline dramatically stretches out oceanward.

"And this will enable Tapa to withdraw from Voa?"

"Yep! Our aim was domestic food security."

"Very reasonable!"

Peka's tent contains a little Hazel magic mirror. Katin's crib contains a corresponding one. 

...poke?

Now it doesn't show her face it shows her baby's crib.

Guards and bureaucrats look at them.

"Hi! I'm so sorry, we usually call ahead, there were, uh, technical difficulties.... We're representatives of the Vanda Nossëo interstellar consortium and we'd like to set up an appointment to talk with Voa about food aid and trade and communications."

"Is this some kind of prank?"

"It's been all over the news everywhere. What exactly is the story with your internet right now-"

"Tapa's jamming it."

Raised eyebrow. "They neglected to mention that."

      "They didn't mention the infanticide thing either."

"- I mean, if aliens landed on us would you mention -"

      "No, I wouldn't."

"Perhaps you can recommend some distribution points for food and then we can deliver food and then that could be a good starting point."

"...would you mention what," someone asks.

"Let me get an Allocator on the -"

"Not -"

"I know! A different allocator."

"I am thinking Tapa may also have presented a misleading account of how the war started."

"They want Imde."
