Leaving the matter of this newtype from earth aside for a moment longer, suspecting you will learn far more in time if a plan can be agreed upon, you settle upon a choice of location, “I believe Luna is the most suitable place to take in newtypes, given the circumstances.”
“Luna?” Vivima half mutters to herself, head cocked ever so slightly as she considers the proposal, dark purple hair shifting in the light of the orrery, “...That could work. In a single city, or spread more widely?”
“I’m open to considering both, a wider spread would help to maintain secrecy for longer, but the more concentrated they are the more likely it is we will achieve… some kind of understanding, perhaps, before it is too late. It’s the only hope we have, politics being as they are.” It’s a statement of defiance rather than an admission of defeat - it might be politically impossible to do what you’d really like to, but you will do <span class="mu-i">something</span>, give the future some chance to grow. Will it avoid a war? No, almost certainly not, but some parts of Luna are far less likely to face destruction by nuclear strikes due to sophisticated defense systems, the innate durability that comes with underground cities, and the importance as industrial and logistics hubs… and the humanity of their residents, as a sadly very distant factor. That kind of war will make monsters of everyone.
“Luna is a suitable location, a point between Earth and Zeon.” General Revil nods as he considers the location, coming around easily to the idea, “Those who can be moved without force will be gathered in secret then, and sent there - to Von Braun, perhaps?”
That <span class="mu-i">without force</span> is reassuring, though you’d already assumed he was not sending his officers around to kidnap people from their families as Kycilia has done in the past. The Earth Sphere has no shortage of orphaned children in state care, or emancipated teens with little or no family left. More detail of what methods will be employed can happen on another day.
