Things were going well. Giovanna was still getting over the shock that they were actually...dating. And nothing had interfered with the Important Stuff, so far. Now if only the Important Stuff would get somewhere.

Andrew was in his room, quite occupied and not yet near any point where he needed to be interrupted.

Giovanna had just finished showering and dressing after a workout and was combing her hair.

The telephone rang.
"Hello, Giovanna Bennet speaking."

Giovanna nods. "Nobody in Genosha is naive enough to think we can just fix it. We're just going to try not to make this nonsense easy for them, and do whatever we can. Especially good would be anything to facilitate people's getting out, in my opinion, but I know it's all more complicated than that."

"Some things, of course, can change. After all, an island where mutants used to be enslaved is now one of the safest places to be one." She sighs. "But we all know how much polite negotiation had to do with that." The Old Genoshan regime and its recursions would never have gone down if brute, oppressive force hadn't been met with superior force. Again and again.

	"Which leads to, potentially, another problem. Because the American and world media don't want anyone to know what kind of civilization has been built in Genosha, its still built up to be some kind of terrible third-world dictatorship. There is almost no means of an American citizen to become a Genoshan citizen, and the powers that be don't want that to change." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Giovanna listens, nods, and frowns. But she's the one who thinks in the seconds and the hours, so she doesn't know what to say that's useful right now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I understand that its not something you can touch on, or do something about right away. But emigration is something that I, and a number of my contacts have significant interest in, were there a way to gain Genoshan citizenship, with or without the United States' approval."

Giovanna nods again. "Andrew's been thinking a lot about emigration options from the start of this." The how is trickier, of course. "As well as trying to give, somehow, a better view of what we are and aren't."

"It sounds like you and yours have set yourselves quite a task," she says, legitimately impressed at any apparent attempts to tackle the problems New York's presenting for Their People right now. "Is your phone number anywhere in here?"

	She shakes her head, then hands a card across to her. "I wanted to get a sense for you before giving you that. You can contact me at this number. And should you or anyone else on your side of the pond be interested, I'd be very interested in working something out, legally or otherwise, for transporting mutants to a safer haven."

	Giovanna takes it and nods. "Thank you. We'll get back to you if and when we can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thank you. Feel free to call any time. I know it can be tough being in an area where you don't know anyone." (Reply to this)(Parent)
