What the fuck.

Because keeping people in prison is expensive and aliens with starships are very important so someone might have been super mad that they were not handled how they wanted them handled.

That really really doesn't seem like enough justification for murdering people. Uh, Valinor is not going to jail or execute them.

That's sort of implied by letting them have four children.

No, they mean, like, for anything. If they can figure out how to give them backup chips then they'll enforce the law the way they do for Elves and if they can't figure that out then they'll still wrangle something which doesn't involve prison or executions.

Oh. Neat. ...the cops are going to have to retrain as something.

They will probably be highly valued sources of expertise on Amentan law enforcement, because Amentans don't currently have chips and the chips are kind of critical to Valian law enforcement.

Oh, consultancy, cool.

They can work in the new law enforcement system too, once it's set up, if they like. No one's sure how hard chips will be.

Policing two dozen people will not be much work but they're gonna quadruple every generation so eventually it will be.

There will probably be more immigrants. And if they vanish all the blues they will need to keep them out of trouble.

Ha! That'll be fun.

Elves debate whether there are any jobs that could be invented to keep All The Blues busy. Maybe they can be content writing policy papers and occasionally being awarded children for them, even if their policy papers are not likely to be very good? Is the bullying people fundamentally necessary to make blues happy, maybe some actors could be hired to pretend to be bullied by them.

None of these people know very much about blue psychology. Maybe they too will be fine if they don't have to constantly scheme to arrange for children and then to credit their children with things so they can have grandchildren and so on and so forth.

Elves are optimistic that a sufficiently pretty environment and enough children will fix all of the problems with Amentans! Elves would probably be horrible if they led short lives and desperately wanted children they couldn't be awarded and lived somewhere as ugly as Calado.

They're not sure what the attractiveness of the place has to do with it. Blues have nice houses.

Valinor's prettier.

They're still not sure what that has to do with anything.

People are better if their environment is prettier. At least, Elves are.

Why?

Because everything is fundamentally okay, and you might be moved to change it out of curiosity or passion or altruism or the desire for novelty but you won't desperate-constant-have-to-change-it-existing-is-barely-tolerable -

...things being pretty doesn't mean they're fundamentally okay nor vice-versa. It's just nice.

Huh.

Elves must just be different. That's okay, they're aliens. Black hair and all.

Not all Elves have black hair, it also comes in brown and gold and bronze and silver and red.
