...no, see, no reds anywhere else think that, the explanation has to be somehow specific to Rivik.

Reds are really, really terrible?

By specific to Rivik she meant that the explanation should somewhere contain 'in Rivik' or something specific to local conditions. 

They're not sure how other countries deal with them.

They hire Isel! But she usually doesn't have a hard time convincing trainees that the government won't start a war with Anitam by having them killed for no reason, usually people are reasonably confident their governments won't do that, why do they think the Rivikni government might.

They don't know what they do differently from everyone else! Everybody hates reds, that's not different.

Yeah, that doesn't seem to be it. Can they make a formal commitment to Anitam that Anitami citizens helping with their reds transition will be safe and honored guests?

They do have a criminal element, they can't guarantee that all of them will be deterred by starting a war.

If one or two of the trainees is killed in random violence and the perpetrators promptly dealt with that wouldn't start a war; that could happen to them at home too.

Assistant figures it out by asking Anitami ex-reds why they don't trust the Rivikni government; it is because the Rivikni reds sound constantly terrified and tell stories on red forums like "the local speedskating team lost and took it out on my cousin" and "I was late to work and they mixed me up with our only doctor and now we don't have one" and "I got stopped at the municipal border on my way to the hazmats landfill and they thought I looked shifty and made my son stay with them till I came back and he won't tell me what happened" and "they made a clerical error and gave us too many child credits and killed six random pregnant women".

The fuck, Rivik. 

...does the box actually only work for you or were you lying about that so you could keep control of things.

Why?

Because I need to smuggle the entire red population of Rivik out and for that I am going to need morph.

I could maybe arrange something.

She flies back to Anitam to try to make arrangements for training. 

<Your commitment to this is commendable.>

"We were horrible to them but not - not like this."

<What are you going to do for the children?>

"I'm going to have to ship them out first. I think I can get away with it."

Box. <It should work for you now. Consider maintaining custody of it an important priority.>

"Uh huh."

The next day a bird lands in a Rivikni red district. <Hey> says the bird. <This is Isel. I apologize for scaring you like this, but I'm worried about planning this over the internet.>

Reds are frightened!

Bird bobs its head apologetically. <There isn't a good way to do a transition here. Your government is horrible. Like, most governments are pretty horrible to their reds but yours is significantly worse than anyone else. So the only way to get you out of here safely is by using alien technology to smuggle you out. And my job is to get you out safely no matter what it takes, so alien technology it is. Can you do me a favor and go get people who should be here for this conversation?>

...they go get some people.
