"And it's not just Hell! Revelation should also have coordinated to do this and didn't. I am mentally awarding more points to caste systems. We're still, oh, a million points behind by any sane metric, but we just picked up, like, three more."

"I think this might be like, authoritarianism, and not castes in particular."

"...okay, possibly. Reds are great at coordination problems and I don't think it's authoritarianism? Though it is probably the thing where they were expecting to all die."

"It's amazing what a common enemy'll do."

"They're okay now. Isel's planning how to make the occupation not-terrifying for the new ones - her plan is actually adorable though it'd be very hard to pull off."

"What is her adorable plan?"

"So, we have the tech advantage, we'll broadcast video for the duration - it's rude occupying-country behavior to do that on all channels but it's just courteous to do it on one, so people know what the new official line is and how likely they are to be shot if they step outside and so on. We're in early stages of planning but people are inclined to have that content mostly be showing off with daeva - taking the Empire's tanks and turning them into ice cream stands, clearing out areas destroyed in the fighting and putting in new skyscrapers - I don't actually think Earth had great power wars late enough in its history to have conventions about this, right -"

"Not enough of them, no."

"Good for you. Anyway, Isel observed that the first things a red would think, seeing a fairy, is 'means they don't need us'. And so she wants to get a bunch of angels to do their hair bright red and follow the soldiers cleaning things. With a red-haired fairy to float them along. And she wants this on its own channel, nonstop video of the red battalion - not touching anything, you know, meticulously in compliance with pollution laws, but - asking a soldier for pizza and being tossed a box, asking where they're headed next and getting 'eh, I think we sit here until the skyheads make up their minds', floating or flying around bored and changing the frills on their uniforms - being, you know, valued members of the army who happen to be untouchable. No one else will watch it - maybe for long enough to check that they're not touching things - but she thinks the reds would watch all day."

"Awwww."

"Adorable, right? A lot of hassle and not a dramatic improvement over, like, just getting ex-red ambassadors there as soon as it's safe for them, but it'd be awfully cute."

"The hassle may be good for signaling value."

"Isel's whole approach to the reds has been to - go to absurd amounts of effort for absurdly little in concrete returns. It goes against my instincts - if you spend all your political capital then you won't have any for something more important - but they do trust her a ton, and it's not hard to see how valuable that is."

"Reds may have already been burned by trusting people who were willing to help them out as long as it was really efficient."

Nod. "Well. We can do adorable propaganda."

"So cute."

He writes up the 'hey! a new world!' announcement for Hell to chew over.

Hell is so excited.

And she goes off to Revelation to recruit a video crew interesting in filming propaganda for the conquest of the Oahk Empire.  "...I know that's not really how humans do things."

"We haven't really had a war in a while."

"We had hoped we were past them. But the Oahk Empire needs to be dismantled and one thing we did learn about wars is that you'd better not do them at all if you aren't committing a ton of resources to seeing them through so we're doing that."

"I can get you people who've worked on war movies."

"Perfect! Thanks!"

People who have worked on war movies are brought in.

Isel explains to them what she wants to do and why.
