Some of both?

All right. Her recommendation is that they decide exactly what genes they'd want their future spouse and source of giant chunks of downtown to have, and then she finds them a suitable candidate and arranges internally among the reds for that suitable candidate to in fact have giant chunks of downtown. People who are horrified can leave now, the rest is details about how to pull that off if anyone wants it.

Married ones, horrified ones, and the men who in Cene can't pass on their caste leave, though one sends a grandkid.

If any of the unmarried men seem awfully disappointed and want to agitate for maybe allowing a couple people to blue as long as they pick perfectly blue genes, they could maybe do that!!

Everyone else can have a yellow or green spouse, please give Isel spousal desiderata so she can find rich property-owners to match them with.

They do that. One guy is maybe a little disappointed but doesn't really have the pull.

And Isel writes the reds.

So, Cene agreed on using morphing to decontaminate you into mostly exactly your current bodies but with caste-appropriate hair. Bad news first: they want no babies this spring since pregnant people and small kids can't get decontaminated that way. Then the good news: Got them to agree that since this costs them practically nothing they can't recoup the costs by stealing all your land, so it's yours. If people still wanna be blue, I couldn't quite swing it but I can arrange for you to marry blue and have blue kids, here's the deal -

...they want to be able to put money down for a red credit and get a credit for their new caste free, if they are going to all have to skip a spring.

Some people are still interested in being blue under these conditions if their possible wives are not awful. One guy's second choice is orange, is that still viable.

She can ask if any blues are okay marrying orange but honestly they might not be she doesn't know any blues who've married orange.

She asks Cene about letting them carry a credit over.

Outrageous. Red credits are dirt cheap and rumor has it some of them will be having blue children.

Yeah, that's fair. No carrying credits over. Here are potential spouses and her subjective impressions of them. Did any of them seem like they might put up with an orange spouse.

No not really.

Sorry orange guy people who want to be blue should really aim to test into green and if they can't manage that definitely need to go yellow.

He'll try for green and blue girl #3.

Great. Has Matirin managed to bribe Anitam into letting him leave.

It helps that they're still mostly pretending they're not holding him prisoner in the first place. Would Anitam like some tech in exchange for facilitating Cene's rapid-fire decontamination.

Are they going to want to do this with every country.

It seems pretty convenient and then the world won't have any more reds in it which he takes it will delight everybody.

...Anitam will take the tech. They're working on turning over manufacturing capacity to ships but they can spare some for other stuff.

Anitam can get lectures on the translation and computer interface chips! And some people screened for morph. 

Aitim drops by. "Can I have morph? As, ah, being-you-in-a-sense privileges?"

<Yes.>

Oh good he appreciates it so much. He touches Matirin and then copies him. 

<I have telepathy in this form, right?>

<Yes. What is it?>

<That obvious?>

<Very obvious. What is it.>
