"Huh. Cool. - hundreds of hours to not figure out 'don't tell the paranoid acceptable-target caste that you could just kill them', huh."

"I think if the right people had overheard that conversation they'd have figured it out right away, but - chipped people are safe, it's so fundamental to what we are, no one can ever meaningfully hurt us, worrying about what might happen if we could chip you feels like worrying about what might happen if you were all suddenly immortal and indestructible."

"They'd stop feeding us," she says at once.

"You'd think pissing off the immortal indestructible people would strike them as a bad idea. Anyway. Now we know what we need to fix, and we appreciate it tremendously."

"You're welcome. Thanks for the piano in the jail. Speaks volumes."

"Maybe we just need to jail more people so they can trust us! - I am kidding. To be clear. We will not do that and no one needs to be afraid of it."

"I know what a joke is!"

"I'm not taking any chances!!"

"I promise not to send cops to hit you with sticks for making jokes."

"And promise not to secretly decide I meant it and never talk to me again, cops with sticks would be unpleasant but cluelessness on this is gonna kill people."

"I mean, I think you have earned enough benefit of the doubt that I'd at least tell a different Elf first?"

"Oh good! That is the amount of benefit of the doubt we want - Rindeya'd talked to Maitimo but I guess she was hardly going to ask for him again -"

"I have a bunch of numbers to call!"

"Well, if I am scary please do call them and they will make me stop."

"She gave me all these numbers and one of them said 'Prince' and I was like 'seriously' and she was like 'yeah!' and I was like 'well heck I guess I'll go for it'."

"It's a hereditary title, you know, doesn't say much about my merits."

"I know what a prince is! Still though!"

"At your service."

Giggle.

They make a web page for communications with the red community. They link it from a red website. They apologize for the deaths during the riots, explain how they occurred, and explain the police reforms intended to make sure rioters survive next time. They are not planning to kill reds ever and in particular not when technological alternatives are developed; however, there are lots and lots of countries and it's not realistic to anticipate technological alternatives will never be developed. Here are the things under consideration for once the alternatives exist, carefully phrased. Any of these would be implemented by inviting a small test group of ten or twenty people to come check it out and testify to everything being as promised, and they'll work with the red community to figure out how to transition everyone else in a reassuring way.

They're aware that the description of options if Amentans are chippable which was circulating implied they might kill people who did not want to die; they won't do that. They certainly won't ask reds to cooperate with their executions. If that option becomes available, what they'll do is chip all of the reds, give the reds the means to make their own replacement bodies and print their own backups off a computer, and then confirm people with new bodies are clean for Calado legal purposes. This is not an option right now at all. 

This fails to start any riots!

Okay but does it get them anywhere.

After three days a new person comes to the office with things they would like done.

There is a new clerk there who is so excited to have a visitor. 

The visitor manages to not be overly alarmed by this excitement and to convey the complaints without much stuttering.
