Greetings Mr. Pleasuration

As you may have noticed serious ion storms hit Dublin recently. It is believed by me that those ion storms cause solar flares that have lasting disruption for scanning and mining capabilities in the regions within the asteroid fields where the gold is mined. I'm not quite sure the science behind it, but regardless it's impossible to mine ore efficiently in the area. To make matters worse, the miners could be taken down by enemies and never know they were coming. The conditions are too dangerous, and mining is not suggested by me at this time. As soon as those solar flares have lost their influence, I'll be happy to complete our contract.

At your service,
Harry Harlinger
