"They aren't in charge or they would have their own children."

"Yeah. I am not in a position to promise they'll be okay - they could really annoy a judge or something - but I would expect that they'll get a short prison sentence for disseminating illegal orders and be free eventually to have their own children in a well-run two-per-family country."

Nod.

"I think your great-uncle's family will worry if he doesn't return for ten days. Should we go talk with him about what to do about that?"

"Probably yes. I don't know them."

Upstairs they go. 

(Unconscious foster mothers are floated into comfortable holding cells in Anitam.)

Avalor's uncle thinks that his family will be all right if they get a letter.

"Great. Then I think we have everything assembled to stage a terrible accident and fetch some representatives of a local alien power of interest to us."

"Who's the alien power?" asks Uncle Bar.

"They are called Andalites. They're in the middle of a war we are inclined to intervene in. They are blue and quadrupedal and have sharp blades on the ends of their tails."

"...how odd."

"It's rather stranger to me that most aliens are so much like us. Speaking of which, do you two want to move either to our Anitam or to Revelation at some point? It would have tutors for Avalor and, you know, internet access and nice things like that."

"Why the Anitam -? I don't speak Anitami. Avalor does, but..."

"We don't want word about Milliways spreading in our universe - it's an extraordinarily valuable resources and some people would be tempted to take control of it - so you could go live in your Voa but not go back and forth or live in Anitam and go back when this world is ready for you."

"And Revelation..."

"Knows about Milliways, is so good at being stably peaceful that this doesn't matter. Revelation is a lovely place to live and I think relatedly a pretty good one to learn things about making countries where people have good lives."

"We don't speak whatever they speak there though."

"There is an Anitami colony planet but no, you don't speak any human languages and I don't think any humans have picked up Voan."

"In Anitam would we need some kind of cover story...?"

"The existence of other worlds isn't publicly acknowledged but most of your social circle would know."

"Our social circle?"

"Most blues in Lina, the major city near the Milliways facilities, are aware that there are other worlds and that Milliways is the access point between them."

Nod.

"You don't have to decide any time soon. Do let us know when you're ready to hold the door for the alien-fetching."

"I'll talk to Avalor about it. Would it be possible to visit Voa, from Anitam?"
