"The elementals can heal the kids - over time - but they can't talk to them."

"And we've got people who speak Biyani but they won't go hang out with red kids. I can probably send some reds who want to take care of kids and who can make do with internet translation."

Can she be recommended some Anitami reds who want to do that.

Yes. They are going to need, like, food and shelter and amusements for the kids though.

Is Aitim getting a paycheck for successfully wrangling the aliens into giving Anitam a planet.

He's got a pretty generous project expense budget but it probably won't extend to a red rescue that Anitam cannot afford to formally have anything to do with; people'd be mad at them if they let Biyan drown in garbage.

Fine.

She can fund food and shelter and toys and stuff.

The reds do not have expensive tastes.

Shadows wait for the go-ahead.

On the one hand the longer they wait the better the replacements are trained. On the other hand, torturing kids.

Shadows can go ahead.

Shadows take six trips to get them all.

After photographers are appeased, Shines take a couple critical cases and Earths start on everyone else.

Isel thinks Maurabel should write Biyan because it will be a diplomatic mess if it looks like Anitam had anything to do with this.

So she does! Some of her elemental friends went to investigate allegations of tortured children and were very alarmed by what they found and now the children are safe. They should probably send the rest of the reds after them so the elementals don't suspect them of doing horrible things to more reds.

The observing scary elementals are parked in red neighborhoods.

Pictures are online of the tortured children! One of the photographers cleverly worked in black and white so they just look like they could be anyone's tortured children.

The observing scary elementals scare the reds, some, but they also scare the cops, and they loom threateningly at the cops, and the cops mostly take the hint. They repurpose a boat and cram it brimful of reds and send it to the rainforest.

Is that all the reds -

No, not all of them. Some of the more directly coerceable ones are being kept back to train purples and there were some casualties in the Adamant-handled neighborhood and one un-elementaled neighborhood.

Uh huh. 

It's most of them, though!

Now there are a ton of undersupplied reds in a rainforest. Their translation assistants and the elementals determine that some volunteers should start eating random plants and Waters can fix it if they get sick, as a stopgap.

Hey would-be benefactors she wants stuff for her refugees.

Ugh, seriously? Places come up with stuff.

Yes, seriously. She's an alien. Thank you, benefactors! She appreciates it! (Should she publish a ranking of how much she likes various people?)

"The conventional way is to have some diplomatic privileges for, say, the three places you like most, and some other for only the place you like most, and some other for the top six, but all informally so, such that everyone knows where they stand without saying it and inviting offense. You could invite the Cene and Voa and Anitam ambassadors to a dinner, says 'we're on good terms', and then when someone else impresses you they get invited next dinner..."

"I guess if that's how it works."

"It is more conventional than posting scores on the internet, though you do have a lot of latitude."

"I'm spending it; I'm not clear how fast."

"Depends on when the planets start progressing. I can draft you dinner invitations."
