Aitim knows some of them already and goes to dinner parties with the rest and reports a few he's concerned will have unsafe dimensions - "not because they're of malicious character, and I don't even know if my instincts are right, but if they are this time I'll know for next".

"What makes you think that? That they would be unsafe, but not malicious?"

"I'm confident they don't mean ill because I'd notice if they did, but when I try to imagine the shape of their personality or what I think they'd want their world to be it's less clear and contains some potentially dangerous stuff?"

"Yeah, I can see how that could turn out dangerous." Sigh. "Do we have at least ten-or-so candidates?"

"Yes, most of them are great. I'm not even sure those ones are a problem."

Nod. "Let's err on the side of the caution for now. Any potential Isel-equivalent?"

"I really like how that is the term that we are using."

"Not really, no."

"That, I don't really like."

"Yeah, definitely. Are we at the point where we should explicitly ask for the Isel-equivalent? Do you think they sabotaged the effort or just simply ignored it while selecting these candidates?"

"I think they probably don't have one."

"Do they have one that  'is not going to sell all the reds real estate the moment Felix fails to satiate hunger'?"

"I would not expect Tapa to break the terms of an agreement with powerful aliens."

"Governments that don't go back on their word are so convenient!"

"Well, yes. I'm still all for the moon plan, but it's obviously better not to signal until we have the dreamshard nice and safe in a moon dimension. We could stall by saying that we are planning to do the interviews all in one go and then all the dreamshaping granting in all one go while traveling abroad?"

"Any reason to not go to the moon now and then announce once you're there that you'll do it there?"

"Not from our end, no."

"Then I will see you later, when Tapa has dreamshapers."

Smile. "Wish them sweet dreams for me."

They make the plans for the move. Tani and Dana stay on Amenta for now. Felix and Trevor announce that they are going to a moon, allegedly for the cool factor, to see how their pocket dimensions behave in space and see if siphoning air from pocket dimensions works for terraforming purposes.

Anitam wishes them well.

They're thankful for the hospitality! Up and up they go!

The shuttles arc equatorial before leaving Amenta's gravity well. This one arcs over Calado. 

A missile meets it there. Actually, three of them, fired from two different locations.

Felix only has to think "I'm so glad we left Dan-" and then their bodies are dead.

They left their fountains back in Anitam, no reason to justify the move now if it was just a vacation trip. They've been housing them inside Trevor's dimension.

...

Death means dreamshaping and Trevor can project a dream-avatar. He can't leave his dimension, but he certainly can express how enraged he is.

"Our bodies died. What the fuck happened?!" he says to his pocket everything.

Yellow jumps. "I don't know, I can call someone, who should I call -"
