"Visit, meet the locals, decide if you might like to be resettled there if someone invents robots, which we are not working on please don't riot again -"

"...and if we resettled there we would do what?"

Permalink

"Whatever you wanted, they don't have a caste system."

Permalink

"But where would they put us? We don't know how to grow food or make things and they'd have to set aside a place to be for reds."

Permalink

"They wouldn't, because they don't have a caste system and don't care about pollution."

Permalink

"- won't they want to be able to sell things in Amenta?"

Permalink

"Yeah, but you could just segregate the factories for that, make the techs decontaminate, instead of segregating all the reds."

Permalink

...confused silence.

"It's up to you. We'd like to have some people go check it out but you won't be in trouble if no one wants to."

Permalink

"I don't understand why they'd - you could take immigrants to expand into the rainforest, that's different, why does Endorë want - not even mixed castes -"

Permalink

" - well, we told them we'll take care of our reds no matter what but some countries will probably want to get rid of theirs once there are robots, and if there's not a planet ready yet the reds won't have anywhere to go, and they said how many, what do they need..."

....the guy clearly expects there to be more to the explanation.

Permalink

" - because otherwise they might die."

Permalink

"...but what do they need us for?"

Permalink

" - they don't need you, they just want you to be safe. And not die."

Permalink

...confused silence.

" - if there's a red planet someday, and you all go there and set up a society and it's a nice society and everyone there is happy and thriving, and you have your own lightleaper program so you can go find more planets when you need them but you've still got lots of space on the one, and then you found aliens, and the aliens had some people they hated and were going to kill as soon as they could, wouldn't you want to help those people?"

Permalink

"Wouldn't those aliens want to go somewhere else without reds everywhere?"

Permalink

"They probably wouldn't care because they were aliens."

Permalink

"But the clean castes care and there are so many more of them."

Permalink

"I guess maybe some of you can ask the people in Endorë why they want you, if you decide to go visit them."

Permalink

"But you don't know why."

Permalink

"I know why. It's because they want you to be safe and happy. I just think it might be more believable coming from them."

Permalink

Awkward shuffling.

Permalink

"Take care."
