d, the hive queens could not explain subtleties to them Isn't it possible that if the hive queens had refused to fight those initial battles, letting us slaughter them like true pacifists, the survival instinct of the individual forth as to overwhelm the power of their mistresses? We would have had the battles anyway--only the forence This in turn ainst their queens Even a dictator has to respect the will of the pawns, for without their obedience, he has no power Those are hts about The Hive Queen, since you asked And about everything else, because you need to hear hts as much as I need to say the this war Twice I wanted to reject your overlordship; twice, Bean stepped in and put me back under the yoke But all that I did, I did of ood soldier or servant or slave The task of the tyrant is not to co that compliance better serves their interest than resistance
So if you wish to send this arriving ship to Ganges Colony, I will go and see what I can do to help Virloeon you that proves her to be strange; there are--or were--hundreds ould have stood in line for the privilege) I have a feeling that Virlomi will indeed find herself over her head, because her colony is so overwhelly Indian It will make all her decisions seem unjust to the non-Indians, and if this Randall Firth is anything like as smart as his father, and if his mother has raised him to hate any who ever stood in Achilles Flandres's hich certainly includes Virloe that Randall will exploit to try to destroy her and gain power
And while there are those in the IF and even in ColMin who believe that nothing that happens in the colonies can threaten Earth, I'nize that this is not so A warrior-rebel in a colony world can capture the iination of millions on Earth Billions, perhaps And The Hive Queen ue from the colonies can wrap hi upon the powerful sentied" by Earth and are owed so It is irrational, but there are precedents for even ment
Even if you cannot or no longer wish to send es, however, I will be aboard that ship, so I hope our flight plan will sendValentine has not yet decided whether to co on her histories, she has remained completely detached from this colony, e no incentive to remain here without me
Your lifelong worker bee,
Ender
Achilles came to the hut where Governor Virlo the simplest of habitations--but it was completely unnecessary to build adobe walls and a thatched roof, with so much fine lumber nearby Virlo the Indian colonists But the whole display filled Achilles with contempt
"Randall Firth," he said to the "friend" standing outside Virlomi had said, "My friends stand watch to protect my time," she said, "so I can meditate sometimes" But her "friends" ate at the common table and drew their full share at harvest, so that their service to her was, in effect, paid They were cops or guards, and everyone knew it But no, the Indians all said, they really are volunteers, they really do a full day's labor besides
A full day's laborfor an Indian It gets a little hot and they go lie dohen regular fullsize people have to take up the slack for them
No wonder my father, Achilles the Great, led the Chinese to conquer the Indians Soh, could teach them how to think
Inside the hut, Virlo yarn by hand Why? Because Gandhi did it They had four spinning jennies and ter loo for a hundred years, by which time they should have the ability to manufacture new ones There was no need for hoainst the way English power loo to accomplish?
"Randall," she said
"Virlomi," he answered
"Thank you for co"
"No one can resist a coovernor"
