They could never be allowed to leave Rythar, but when they matured enough to know the truth, Rythar could be integrated into the colonial system. Rytharian uranium is already a significant trade factor in the colonial market.
She had something else to say to the people of Rythar now: not that the gods were men, but that men were mad. Believe in the taboos; send up the sacrificial ores. It was a small price to pay to keep that madness away from Rythar. And Mryna knew she could not go back. With the Wheel gone, she could never return to Rythar; the auto-pickup was carrying her inexorably toward Earth.
It was part of a promotional advertisement of a world called Rythar, "the jewel of the Sirian Solar System." The description made it obvious that Rythar was the green paradise where Mryna lived the place she had been taught to call Earth. And the pamphlet had been addressed to "Earthmen everywhere." Mryna made her second find when she was fifteen, a textbook in astronomy.
And that would have made no difference, if Mryna had not found the text in the ruins of the Old Village. The people on Rythar never saw the stars; they had no way of knowing or caring what lay above the rain mist. Mryna was more interested in the history of Earth, which she had never known before. She studied the pictures of the great industrial centers and the crowded countryside.
Let the gods come down to Rythar, then, and discover what a real female was like in the lush, green, Rytharian paradise. Mryna went to the desk and glanced at the typed reports. They had been written by a man who signed himself "Commander in Charge, Guardian Wheel," and they were addressed to the Congress of the world government.
If a plague carrier escaped from Rythar, we would have heard about it long before this. The trouble with you scientists is you don't grant the rest of us any common sense. And Jameson's the worst of the lot. He's always contended that the sociologists should determine our Rytharian policy, not the elected representatives of the people." Mryna broke down and began to cry hysterically.
