Ami is feeling quite optimistic. They talk about various issues. Ami describes the rejection of her first try. This is a grave concern. What has Ami done since the rejection? Has she tried any therapies? Ami gets a chill when she hears a phrase, "You should look for another."

elLan 'first" stays silent, because she would not contradict an elder in public. "first" continues to hold Ami's hand with two of hers and hopes Ami will realize it. Those who ask for the help of the Lan will have a protector and friend that will never fail to keep watch over them.

Ami is displaying emotional clues of distress that would not be acceptable in public among Wroug.

Arlow Tsai has been able to overcome the shivers that affected him earlier. He suspects that the elLans have been playing this line of conversation (just to help him feel better). That idea is helping him feel better. Over the low hill he hears a conversation. A distressed conversation.

Arl asks to converse with those others. He (in feminine form and feeling emotionally conversant) stands and looks over. The elLans hold on to ankles, hands and hips as Arl stands looking and listening to other group.

Arl: "Excuse me. I. I umm. I just got an injection a little bit ago that that allows me to understand these words. I am struck by a vast gap in the emotional dialog you are having. When the words 'you should look for another' are said the dialog that follows from the others girl is very distressed umm strong finality of rejection. Then your responses carry no emotion. Is that what is happening? Are you, so calmly rejecting her with no affinity her emotional state?"

elLan "second" says: "No, not at all. It is a phrase to show that the person should seek a private relationship. A thing usual before citizenship. Oh Oh my. Is that what you thought? "

The Lan spend significant time try to avoid just this very type of miscommunication with aliens.

Ami shudders and asks: "S So I could have relationships with individual Lans?"

When Ami see positive head nods, she throws her head back and says "Geeeeeeee!" which expresses pure joy among Wroug children. Ami shrinks back down afterwards because she considers the Social Oder officers nearby. Ami, "first" and "second" continue the discussion, just a bit quieter.

Arlow Tsai falls back into the arms of the elLans.

That needed to be done.

Things are right in the universe that were wrong.

Arl is not replying to very many questions, but is sharing happy and pleasant looks with the elLans.

Minutes pass in the park calmly.

The spouse of the kidnap victim jumps up and starts talking. She moves in a wild manner towards the elLans with Arl. They need a stand-in at the other plane, they won't permit it to be a Lan. Will you do it?

Arl: "umm. I want to go home. I.. I uhm no."

The spouse flies in an increasing wild manner towards Ami. The two elLans with Ami lower their gazes.

They will not shame an elLan in public distress. You, wroug girl, will you let your swap plane partner stand-in?

elLan "first" has a hold of Ami's hand with both of hers.

When Ami quickly says: "Uhh Yeah Sure that would be OK.", "first" snaps her head back and look directly towards Ami (Ami is looking at the spouse, with her head away from 'first').

There is an animated conversation that only spouse hears on the Comm link, and they contact the swap plane partner and agrees to help. Spouse runs back to her belonging mate.

ElLans "first" and "second" hug Ami and profusely praise her gift to the Lan. elLan "second" takes Ami's other hand. They stand and blink out of the park.

A few minutes later the kidnapped Lan is restored to their alLan form. They exchange earnest kisses. Arlow Tsai appears quite relieved and less shaken. Four alLans with crisp black suits and dark sunglasses, appear then join hands around the two on the path. They blink out of the park.

The older Social Order officer speaks in a loud voice.

"Take the alien to the medical contagion center I posted to you. We know you Lans have protection systems, but we want you to contain all matter. Leave loose belongings here. Until arriving at the contamination site; do not let the alien being touch any surface.

Things happen quickly, and they lift Arl. Arl rests in her arms and leans the softly on her shoulder. They blink out of the park.

The younger Social Order officer says: "Yeeesh. What a zoo! All that emotion. How could anyone ever be that happy?"

The older officer does not reply to that, but tells the younger officer to watch closely. She would not likely ever see this again in her lifetime.

A very large part of the park grounds is gone. A half sphere where the alien had been. The older officer says this is an X class contamination response. Imaging what kind of infection requires this level of sterilization.

They elevate all the dirt and greenery into high orbit. Circling sterilization cannons fire into the material. Separating molecules, separating atoms, separating electrons, separating neutrons and protons.

It all blows away. The last solid material to separate molecularly is a part of Arlow Tsai bicycle where the pedals are.

That is the last non-organic physical proof that a human being was ever on Wroug.

In a day or two, the park would be completely back to its original condition.
