Yeah it's such a shame they weren't wearing cameras. She thinks it's worth the trouble, though. She has found the key to success is being very meticulous about followup with incidents of reds randomly lunging out of their trucks on their way to the border and touching people. 

Some of these greys may have misremembered.

Not this one! This one is really sure!

Can Aitim produce aliens with mindreading abilities and if not is Aitim willing to substitute for such.

He goes to visit Matirin in Voa. "Can you in fact read minds."

<Not in this form. I can morph Leeran.>

"Can any of your people? Would they mind so that Isel can get out of paying security?"

<I suppose Arethel might do that for her.>

"I will let Isel know."

Arethel writes Isel. Anitam seems likely to object to Arethel travelling but if Isel wants to pick up the Andalites hanging out secretly in Miolee in case Matirin decides that he doesn't like being a well-treated kinda-prisoner then she could do that.

Of course that's a thing. How does she get in touch with them.

Arethel can email them. Arethel does that. 

Isel can produce a mindreading alien to help the grey verify his story and identify the red responsible! Mindreading alien is hanging out in this river in the form of an amphibious froggish thing, aliens, who can even say with those. 

<Hello> says the alien. <To confirm everything is working correctly, please think of a number between 1 and 100.>

...seven and a half.

<Seven point five> reports the alien.

"No it was seven and a half."

"Those are the same thing."

"Oh."

<Can you describe for me what happened?>

"He touched me! And I told him not to do that and go back in the truck." It just felt like a hand. Weird. She dared him to but he still actually did it.

Oh for fuck's sake. Okay. She pays her a ridiculous amount of money. She commends her for not overreacting.

She tells the reds that given how she promised the security wouldn't hurt them she can understand why someone was tempted to touch a grey on a dare, but the money goes to helping them get resettled if she doesn't have to spend it on bonuses for the greys so now that it's been established that you can touch them and they won't murder you please don't do that again.

Somebody did that? For fuck's sake.

Kind of dumb but no one got hurt because she is really committed to making sure no one gets hurt. Please let's not have it happen again.

It doesn't.

A senator who has failed to credit his great-great-grandchildren with enough things to finagle them permissions winds up with a couple of said great-great-grandchildren trying to actually do things; they order a neighborhood torn down before it is actually empty, leaving reds all alive except one who got hit by a bulldozer but with nowhere to go in a city that still needs them for plumbing and handling dead folks.

She told them that literally all they had to do was nothing at all!

She files a civil suit for bulldozing her property without her permission and buys them tents.

They live in tents. They are unhappy. The suit will need to go through three rounds of appeal.
