"The plan is for all of us to move there, and then reach out to Earth governments about establishing embassies and so on. I might well end up working at an embassy here once that's all agreed-upon."

"Why this house?"

Permalink

"I think some locations were easier for their targeting mechanism than others but I don't know the details."

Permalink

"Is there a plan to share this mechanism?"

Permalink

"Same as with interdimensional transit in general - we're eager to figure out a way, we are concerned with ensuring daeva can't use it to go visit without being under a binding, for that reason only a few people currently know the details, and I'm not one of them."

Permalink

"Who's in charge of the project?"

Permalink

"I think it's under Aitim Neli in the Anitami government."

Permalink

"What does Neli mean?"

Permalink

"It's the track for high political office - the roles that are the equivalent of your President and Secretary of State and so on."

Permalink

"Is Aitim likely to come to this world?"

Permalink

"He's not part of the colony project and is I think awfully busy at home but I'm sure we can work something out if that ends up making sense."

Permalink

"Busy with what?"

Permalink

"We're also setting up lots of colony planets in our own universe, we're negotiating planet-wide treaties on relations with the aliens so there isn't a problem where, say, one country gets into a diplomatic dispute with an alien species who can't tell Amentans apart, we're setting up a casteless planet to see how people like that, we may also make contact with the Elves - did you hear about the Elves -"

Permalink

"Yes - the poor Elves -"

Permalink

"Really a terrifying situation. Anyhow, we're really committed to making sure that contact with other universes is positive for Revelation, and I am sure I can get higher-up to make as much time for that as necessary, but state visits are going to be hard to squeeze in until things have settled down a little."

Permalink

"That makes sense."

Permalink

"Is there anything else I can answer for you?"

Permalink

"I may come back with followups but I think I'll go write this up now. Thank you so much for your time."

Permalink

"Of course!"

Permalink

Plum goes.

Permalink

Amentans keep moving.

Permalink

There are more reporters and Plum again and some government people and requests to summon particular translator daeva for languages.

Permalink

Isilme Asa will field reporters and government people and a yellow will summon translator daeva for languages.

Permalink

The people of Revelation are pretty pleased with their visitors on the whole. There are some Internet wackos, but that's to be expected.

Permalink

Amentans release very compelling videos of their colonists arriving on the new planet and disbelievingly climbing a hilltop to look out on all that vast unsettled land and falling to the ground clutching their loved ones and weeping with joy.
