“You already know.” He observed.

“News travels with the wind here.” Erak admitted.

“It was those radicals, but most of their force was recruited Earth males. They seem to have found all the crazy ones.”

“There are those among every race.” Tomi agreed.

“Kitty turned one. He gave us the name of his group.”

“Do you believe it will help?” Erak asked.

“We can use it to stave off future recruits, but we will still have to deal with current recruits. We captured most. Kitty thought we were concentrating too many on the meteor.”

“I have to admit I’ve concerns too, but where else do we send them?” Erak asked.

“Coroga. They will carve out their new lives or die trying.” He suggested.

“Shouldn’t you limit them there as well?” Tomi asked.

“We have mercenaries there that are aliens. They have a settlement of their own. I don’t see how they can buy them off.” Torr said.

“I’d keep a close eye on them anyway.” She suggested.

“I intend to. We’ll use females in video surveillance to do that. I believe that will work although Davy has cautioned me about its limits. My plans include some robots that will assist in keeping the peace.”

“Wow. That sounds amazing. I hope the robots don’t take over.” Tomi said.

“What?” Torr asked.

“There are books about robots taking over the world.”

“Well, alright. These aren’t intelligent enough. They are operated by users when they have to take action.”

“Sounds good.” Tomi offered.

“I believe it will be. Davy will run it all. She’ll have security for an entire planet. I can’t wait to see it.” Torr said.

“That seems like a lot for one person.” Tomi observed.

“She’ll oversee a group that covers a video room much like the ones here. She’ll be able to view any of their clips within a few hours. Once she knows the people that work for her, she’ll pick a room supervisor for each of the three shifts. It will be amazing, you’ll see.”

“Okay. What else will you do?” Erak asked.

“We plan to have a few squads on the planet not only watching for trouble, but available to the citizens if any comes up. We’ll adjust as needed.”

“You have a lot to cover considering your relying on immigrants to keep some things secure.” Tomi pointed out.

“Some of those newcomers were chosen because of the loyalty and steadfastness they proved in their past. Once they prove trustworthy, they’ll move up to higher ranks and some of our people can come home.”

“I hope your plan works without too many complications. Have you told Davy yet?”

“I’ve hinted a bit about a great new position. I’m sure she’ll be on it.” He said.

“It’ll be exciting.” Tomi suggested.

“I’d best move on. I need to inform the other kings. Everyone needs to watch for this.”

“Goodbye. I hope everything works out well.” Tomi observed.
