"If people listen to me."

Permalink

Nod. 

 

Okay, who has an appealing application to be next.

Permalink

Buncha people. Rivik is going to try to do it itself if she doesn't help.

Permalink

Rivik's tiny, maybe it'll be quick. What do they want to do with the reds.

Permalink

They kind of want to kill them but since that's not the done thing nowadays Miolee is fine.

Permalink

Okay. Are they all right with selling her the red property so she can resell it and send Miolee the money to cover their decontaminations and resettlement.

Permalink

What will she do if Miolee doesn't charge her as much as it would take to make her sell all the land?

Permalink

Sell the rest of it and take the money home, she doesn't want to manage real estate in Rivik and the foreign title insurance premiums are kind of steep.

Permalink

Fine.

Permalink

Okay. Assistant, come to Rivik with me. Red landowners, here is the plan. 

 

(The land in Calado should get bulldozed and cleaned and then auctioned. How are her civil suits proceeding.)

Permalink

They are on their second and first appeal rounds. Assistant comes to Rivik with her.

Red landowners are PRETTY sure the government wants them super dead.

Permalink

...okay. Hmmm. Rivik is tiny. It'll be more expensive but maybe instead of training replacements they can import Anitami ex-reds to do the jobs until Rivik reds are out of the country, and then the Anitami ex-reds can train local replacements. How do local reds feel about that.

Permalink

Will that help?

Permalink

The idea is that if Rivik massacres people the Anitami ex-reds will pack up and go home and Rivik will drown in garbage like Biyan. Is their government good enough at incentives that this will suffice.

Permalink

The reds are not sure.

Permalink

How does the government feel about this proposal.

Permalink

Sounds expensive. Also they have different equipment and fixtures than Anitam.

Permalink

Uh huh, the idea is that local reds train Anitami ex-reds and then Anitami ex-reds take over the roles and then train locals as soon as the reds are safe. Because, see, the reds currently don't trust their government not to massacre them and accordingly can't be persuaded to train anyone. This is an expensive situation to be in and maybe the government can think of another way of credibly signalling they won't hurt the reds, like giving Miolee tons of money to hold in escrow or something.

Permalink

What if Miolee didn't give it back?

Permalink

Then Rivik, which has more of an army than Miolee, could make them. If Miolee were in the right they'd have Anitam's backing but if Rivik fulfilled the conditions and Miolee refused the money back anyway Anitam would stay out of it.

Permalink

Wrinkle: Anitami ex-reds don't super trust Rivik either.

Permalink

They just need to trust Rivik's government as far as 'won't actually start a war with Anitam'. Because Anitam has all these fancy new toys rolling out of factories and if someone decides to kill clean Anitami citizens then that someone will get to be a demonstration that the new toys aren't just shiny.

Permalink

They'd still be dead if somebody thought their government would let it slide.

Permalink

Yeah. Hey, government, everyone thinks you'll probably risk a war just to randomly murder them and it's damaging prospects of a transition, why do they think that.

Permalink

Well, reds are terrible.
