"Yeah, I'm not surprised. Pity it wasn't feasible to keep Warp a secret from demons generally. Is anybody mistreating their little Kalinit -"

"So far they've all been, you know, going off to gravity wells where people won't casually make the place uninhabitable and stuff, but the GCP's about to announce we'll prosecute on behalf of little Kalinit who get murdered or tortured. That - leaves lots of room for misconduct, but mostly of kinds that are harder to prosecute. I'd love your thoughts on what else might be worth adding to the list, and also about how to make it widely known."

"Only things we could check for or things the Kalinit could write in about?"

"Things they could write in about are fine too, though presumably a bad daeva could not teach them to write."

"But the daeva will still be around if they ever get out and learn how and complain about their childhood. You could also make it illegal not to teach them to write. Although you'll have to be a little careful about summoning any demons who are responsible for the, say, air supply, of their kiddos. Might need Hell-side assistance, get someone to lightleap in and babysit. Do we know how Warp native Kalinit feel about being duplicated exactly, you could forbid that..."

"We have no idea how they feel about, well, anything, they're pre-warp and too small a corpus for particularly good translation. How do you recommend recruiting Hell-side assistance?"

"Address an ad for it to some of the major news publications."

"And how do you recommend announcing what we'll make arrests for, same way?"

"Yeah. And maybe once you've got it all hammered out specifically to anyone who's made eggs."

"Murder, torture, anything criminal the kid writes to us about..."

"Not at least trying to teach them to write - although it's possible the species has a different than human or Amentan rate of literacy impairments - not giving them privacy ever, isolating them from other people..."

"Not giving them a way to get food and water without personally requesting their parent make it right then, maybe -"

"Hard to track, but yeah."

" - Amentans would say 'not giving them access to running water and adequate sanitation and decontamination' but I know to other species that seems like less of an atrocity -"

"Running water is the most pleasant way to have access to stuff to drink and bathe in but you could accomplish the same thing with, like, a sufficiently ecologically competent lake."

Shudder.

"I assume Amentans had to invent running water?"

"We were probably pretty miserable before then, but I guess perhaps if you're accustomed it's not as bad."

"I don't think raising a Kalinit with a well-treated lake as an alternative to running water should be a circling offense unless Kalinit turn out to have unusual water needs."

Nod. 

"Which is probably worth finding out, do any Amentans want to raise Kalinit and learn about them that way? I guess humans could do it too."

"Amentans are pretty excited about having their own kids, places where it's allowed. Maybe some people dealing with infertility, or some gay ones. I'll suggest it."

"Either way. Seems like a project that will require knowledge of the species."

"It does. Can you recommend me Hell news sites we can write -"

He can! "It's mostly not internet - people like being able to get stuff from wherever they are so it's in conjurable formats -"
