"Last time we had no way of talking to the buggers, no way of knowing they were ramen and not varelse. This time we're here. We know that we won't go out and destroy other worlds. We know that we'll stay here on Lusitania until we can go out safely, the Descolada neutralized. This time," said Ender, "we can keep the ramen alive, so that whoever writes the piggies' story won't have to be a Speaker for the Dead."
The secretary opened the door abruptly, and Ouanda burst in. "Bishop," she said. "Mayor. You have to come. Novinha--"
"What is it?" said the Bishop.
"Ouanda, I have to arrest you," said Bosquinha.
"Arrest me later," she said. "It's Miro. He climbed over the fence."
"He can't do that," said Novinha. "It might kill him--" Then, in horror, she realized what she had said. "Take me to him--"
"Get Navio," said Dona Crist .
"You don't understand," said Ouanda. "We can't get to him. He's on the other side of the fence."
"Then what can we do?" asked Bosquinha.
"Turn the fence off," said Ouanda.
Bosquinha looked helplessly at the others. "I can't do that. The Committee controls that now. By ansible. They'd never turn it off."
"Then Miro's as good as dead," said Ouanda.
"No," said Novinha.
Behind her, another figure came into the room. Small, fur-covered. None of them but Ender had ever before seen a piggy in the flesh, but they knew at once what the creature was. "Excuse me," said the piggy. "Does this mean we should plant him now?"
No one bothered to ask how the piggy got over the fence. They were too busy realizing what he meant by planting Miro.
"No!" screamed Novinha.
Mandachuva looked at her in surprise. "No?"
"I think," said Ender, "that you shouldn't plant any more humans."
