"What does this have to do with our decision?" demanded Bosquinha. "So the forests are made up of dead piggies. That's a matter for scientists."
"I'm telling you that when the piggies killed Pipo and Libo they thought they were helping them transform into the next stage of their existence. They weren't beasts, they were ramen, giving the highest honor to the men who had served them so well."
"Another moral transformation, is that it?" asked the Bishop. "Just as you did today in your Speaking, making us see Marcos Ribeira again and again, each time in a new light, now you want us to think the piggies are noble? Very well, they're noble. But I won't rebel against Congress, with all the suffering such a thing would cause, just so our scientists can teach the piggies how to make refrigerators."
"Please," said Novinha.
They looked at her expectantly.
"You say that they stripped our files? They read them all?"
"Yes," said Bosquinha.
"Then they know everything that I have in my files. About the Descolada."
"Yes," said Bosquinha.
Novinha folded her hands in her lap. "There won't be any evacuation."
"I didn't think so," said Ender. "That's why I asked Ela to bring you."
"Why won't there be an evacuation?" asked Bosquinha.
"Because of the Descolada."
"Nonsense," said the Bishop. "Your parents found a cure for that."
"They didn't cure it," said Novinha. "They controlled it. They stopped it from becoming active."
"That's right," said Bosquinha. "That's why we put the additives in the water. The Colador."
"Every human being on Lusitania, except perhaps the Speaker, who may not have caught it yet, is a carrier of the Descolada."
"The additive isn't expensive," said the Bishop. "But perhaps they might isolate us. I can see that they might do that."
