Of fucking course it will. Can she at least get injunctions on further bulldozing of her property without her permission.

She could talk individually to everyone in Calado who owns a bulldozer? People are pretty inclined to do what random local blues say; that's how you get permissions.

Fucking permissions systems. She will just remind all the local blues that this will go off without a hitch as long as they actually sit back and do nothing and anyone who does a nice job of thwarting other people from attempting to do anything at all will be invited to Anitam to try to convince the aliens that Calado should get starships, which is a much better angle on children, isn't it.

Good to know! She starts receiving reports of heroic thwarting.

Great! If everything else goes totally smoothly then all these people who have reported heroic thwarting get to come talk to the aliens. Of course if anything goes wrong then the aliens won't be very impressed to hear that these people heroically thwarted more things going wrong but if everything goes smoothly they will totally be impressed to hear that.

This is kind of a lot of people reporting heroic thwarting.

Matirin is supposed to be Aitim he won't even mind how much she's wasting his time. The point is that that's all those people who now have an interest in making sure everyone does nothing while she gets their reds out.

Everyone is thwarting everyone else! All the time! They are stopping them from setting things on fire and publishing foolish op-eds and personally going out to use reds as target practice! Thwarting!!!! They are so successful at it that it's kind of impressive when someone manages to demand property back taxes from some reds and blockade their convoy to enforce that.

She will call up all her heroic thwarters in order and ask if they want to heroically thwart that idiot.

Some of them try! He will not be thwarted. He wants those back taxes.

She owns the property. He can sue her in civil court. Why is he preventing reds from leaving the country, doesn't the country want its reds gone.

They charge separately for land and structures and a company he owns a controlling share in built some structures when the district expanded a few years ago! They owe him money! He does not want to wait for three rounds of appeals to get it!

Isel and her security company will go to the site of the blockade. Is blockading roads considered a legitimate way to handle civil disputes in this country?

It is if you own the road! Yeah those are all privatized.

And this guy owns this road? Is there another route to the border which the reds can take.

Yeah they can go around.

Security is going to escort her reds onto a different road now. She will try to distract the guy from interfering with that by asking him how much taxes, the reds don't have any money they're reds but maybe she accidentally took on the liability when she took on the land, does he have the paperwork?

So much paperwork.

Oh good! She will hem and haw over the paperwork until her security says the reds have reached the border.

Does she give him his back taxes.

It looks to her like liability for the structures tax does not transfer with the land deeds and like this subsection implies that he's seriously overestimating the amount owed and these fees he's tacked on don't seem to have gone through this described oversight process but he can have sixteen tap if he wants, she happens to have that much on her.

...that won't even be anything after currency exchange.

She'd be happy to take home the paperwork to have a tax yellow look over it and figure out if she owes him more than that.

HIS yellow says he is owed THIS much.

And if her yellow agrees she will totally pay him that much! Or he can sue her.
