"Technically I suppose he works for me. What's the problem exactly?"

She explains.

"Well I suppose you could shoot them all, that'll teach them to deny massacres."

"We can't narrow it down to the neighborhood. I think this is a very simple request and I'm not sure what the problem is."

"It's the way he works, he does various inexplicable things and then everything falls into place. Can't you censor the web form, if you don't want the reds posting to it?"

"We want to use it as a sting for whoever's willing to commit such awful things to binary. If we'd known ahead of time that he was going to offer the reds something they couldn't use responsibly, we might have cut it off, but now we want to know who it was."

"You could probably bribe him? It's a stubborn family."

"So you're telling me that you have no interest in helping with this."

"I'm currently planning six colony planets. No, I don't care what one of your reds said on a web form, and if I tried to fire Aitim Neli I expect I would trip falling down the stairs tonight. While he was on another continent with eight hours' perfect alibi. And my will would say I'm leaving him my summer home."

"...that sounds terrifying. Do you need help?"

He snorts. "I'm trying to give you help. Well, advice."

They shut down the web form.

"It's like everyone completely loses the ability to think when there are reds involved."

"Uh huh. Could've agreed and then through secret channels informed the reds that it was no longer anonymous - I guess you still lose most of the function that way, though -"

"Yeah. I can tell the reds that their new anonymous communications channel is 'write things on literal paper, then burn it,' but that'll probably just freak them out."

" - you could go to my vacation home."

" - oh, and talk to the reds Telkam stole who probably have secret communication channels with their friends at home? Good idea."

"I didn't tell you about that. Did Telkam tell you about that."

"Not in so many words but he got a green job. And it's the sort of thing he'd do given the resources he had."

"I will tell the reds to expect you." 

She does. She tells them the whole story, actually, in case any of them are entertained by the story of how hard their social workers tried to bother the Anitami government over this.

they crack down REALLY hard on that

the social workers are probably making everybody left at home sit through a seminar on why we don't deny the massacre now

We don't know any current channels. We were offline for more than a season stuck in that town.

Takes some nerve to lecture people you're planning to murder on why one mustn't deny the massacre. There's no way to get looped back in? Would any Anitami ones know?

I'm asking around,

Okay, what do you want to tell the Orvaran reds?

Orvara approved cleaning if they'll pay for it themselves. They'll provide supervision and give you IDs afterwards. We can front the cost for a few people who think they can go yellow to get cleaned and settled in, and then they should be able to afford to help everyone else - it's not that expensive, you pay with trays of potted plants and stuff.

Is it going to stay that cheap?
