"We wouldn't do that. Slavery was abolished through trade sanctions and immigration arrangements and treaty."

"You wouldn't do - what? Demand things of your neighbors?"

"Start a war with an alien species we didn't fully understand in order to make them conform to what would be moral conduct towards our species."

"Good for you."

Sigh. "I appreciate the advice."

Sigh.

The other blue-haired one comes back, hands the first one her pocket everything. She reads it.

Cam waits.

"Is there anything else we should know?"

"Probably. I didn't really prep for this, I'm sorry."

"We'd be happy to pick it up in a couple days, if that makes the most sense."

"I could read up on your neighbors or something."

"And on whether there are any empty planets to be found, that being relevant to what's next for us."

Nod. "I - there's - ugh -"

"The war in your universe."

"That's not even it, it's, putting you in closer contact with demons would solve a planet scarcity problem but it would also make it really easy for anybody who wanted to including reds to go anywhere with any material objects they wanted -"

"You could put us and not reds in contact with demons," says the new woman. 

"We can take lists from them and get them whatever material objects they want regularly," says the one who has been talking to Cam.

"It is in fact easy enough to do once you know how that they could guess."

"I would expect we could manage security such that they wouldn't have more information than we have at present, but if that's not possible then -" she bites her lip - "what's the range on your FTL?"

"Not applicable."

" - then their planet could be really really far away."

"And they could summon a demon and get a ship and go wherever they wanted."

"We could just not give them child credits," says the new one.

     "No. Planet. Nice planet."

" - okay."

"Which is easier if you have demons which mean they can go anywhere they want."

"Can we put them on the planet before the existence of demons becomes publicly known?"
