Assistant Coordinator Sikyal Tegati is happy to scare up a small diplomatic team. Where would he like them sent?

Permalink

That planet he was just at! It's stable-looking but doesn't care to talk to him and he has alternatives now!

Permalink

The diplomats go forth.

Permalink

Cam checks on the last couple planets while they get underway.

Permalink

The second-last planet is doing the rioting thing, and the very last planet of all traps him in a black hole again.

Permalink

Does the cult have any ideas for handling riots and wars?

Permalink

Sikyal, having become more informed since last he talked to them, explains that outreach is their planet's second priority after securing their own stability, and their planet will be communicating with the other planets and sending out more teams in a couple of days when things have settled down slightly.

Permalink

Fair enough. He'll go back to Earth and pick up the evacuees if they'd like to go to Cult Planet.

Permalink

The evacuees have found some non-evacuated Earth locals and set themselves up pretty comfortably, but they're very willing to move to Cult Planet rather than take their chances on no one else happening to remember that Earth exists and deciding to go bomb the shit out of it.

Permalink

To Cult Planet with them! Can Sikyal send up a shuttle?

Permalink

Yes! Here is a shuttle to collect the assorted refugees.

Permalink
Thank you, shuttle. Thank you, Sikyal.

How long until the eight days that one planet wanted are up?
Permalink
Sikyal is happy to help.

There are seven days to go! Cam has been pretty quick about all this.
Permalink

...Cam asks Sikyal if the cult could benefit from conjured ships or equipment or anything in their attempt to spread.

Permalink
Yes, certainly. Just wait ten minutes or so and they can have a nice tidy itemized list for him.

Here is a nice tidy itemized list. There is a clearly marked separate section for weapons and weapon-containing things, in case he is reluctant to provide those and would rather skip the whole section.
Permalink

How polite! He likes the cultish aliens enough that he will give them any weapon-containing things large enough to contain a tracking device!

Permalink

Everything on the list is large enough to contain a tracking device in theory; most of them are large enough for him to be able to stick the tracking device somewhere they probably won't find it immediately, if he prefers to hide said devices.

Permalink

Yeah, that seems like the right balance of trust on this occasion.

Permalink

Well then. The cult planet will happily take receipt of their conjured goods, and Sikyal will thank Cam for his help.

Permalink

"You're welcome."

Permalink

"Let me know if there's anything else I can help you with! We are interested in cooperating."

Permalink

"I think right now the thing to do is try to calm the unstable planets down and send envoys who aren't me to that one that wanted eight days, which you seem to have in hand. At some point I will ask the humans if they want Earth back, but I don't know if they will, they don't remember it."

Permalink

"Okay," says Sikyal. "Well, I'll be here whenever you want to speak to us again."

Permalink

"I appreciate that."

Permalink

"I'm glad I can help!"
