Looks like the GMS are diversifying! We have encountered them close to our Maquis allies' base in Tau-53! There seems to be a massive mining operation in progress - the demand for Raw Hydrocarbons must be on the up! They even brought their 15Billion floating ore processing and hauling unit. They even offered to tell us where we can procure one believe it or not for that sum!
Well, it didn't have much of a valuable cargo - so I went to establish trust

[13.06.2021 17:41:20] UC~Cacciadore-Noir: No matter to how far areas where you can't tell anyone what happens you wonder to, friend!
A little time later me and Mirage have tried our luck again and have encountered miners. We decided to protect them, engage in a friendly banter, establish trust, and see what happens. And by see what happens I mean wait for the big hauler to come to the asteroid field, jam their signals andkill them while taking everything we can carry.
However, we waited, chatted and the big ship never arrived, we had to move to an emergency elsewhere. No matter - we have protected the miners from local dangers and established trust so it's safe to say they are much more likely to have their guard down next time and fly with us with their expensive cargo to places where nobody can hear them scream.

[13.06.2021 18:30:08] UC~Mirage:1: ?: We will meet them again, I'm sure.
I advise this nuanced approach - make friends wherever we go, establish relationships and trust, and wait, patiently - to pick the perfect surgical moments to strike and further our cause when they least expect it and can't tell a soul.
