Uh huh.

They fly to Biyan. Emily magically caffeinates all the adults,

I don't know where they're keeping the kids.

Do you know who might know? I don't like reading minds without consent but this probably qualifies as enough of an emergency.

I guess whoever's in charge? Maybe the reds have an idea.

Yeah, talking to them first seems like a good idea.

He points them towards Biyan.

They fly Biyan-wards. 

Eventually they cross what Telkam might or might not recognize as the border.

He does not! He isn't actually up on his geography.

Makes sense.

Eventually they reach the city.

How do I identify the red district?

It's not as tall, usually, because we can't build there and they don't have heavy machinery...

Of course, she snorts, and looks around for a less-tall area.

It's on what might have been the outskirts of town a long time ago before the town expanded dramatically into a city larger than any on Earth.

The big cities kind of make sense, with the population problem.

Should we just land, or is there something else we could do that would be less likely to spook them?

I think most not-spooky things would be slow.

Yeah okay. Would it help any if you turned our hair red?

Probably. Might be easiest to say you are red-caste aliens, it'd make more sense if it were red aliens.

We don't have castes though. We could lie about it, I guess, it just feels weird to use a lie as a foundation to build trust on.

Yeah. Dunno. He turns their hair red.

We'll see what happens, I guess.

She lands.

She re-visibles them.

Reds startle! They scatter.

Edie waits to see if anyone has non-scatter reactions.

Nope it's all scattering. They are now all indoors.

Crap. Well. Not unjustified. But crap.

She considers a general telepathic broadcast, decides that would be a terrible idea, and glances around at windows.

Some reds are peeking a little.
