Enjoy it while ye can, for I come bearing new problems.
First, those damned parasites have once again been spotted daily near Pygar, as Mr. Anderson detected them on his radar system.
Now, the most infuriating part: Not satisfied wi’ their pyrrhic victory at Freeport 9, the corsair 're tryin’ tae take our iridium field. So far, our miners have only spotted a wee freighter, which looks tae have some sort o’ mining array, tryin’ tae extract iridium from the field.
Thankfully, they seem tae be only good at fightin’, but their equipment’s far from perfect. They’ve had a lot o’ trouble even fillin’ their hold.
Now, the big question: How do we respond?
Should we try tae help them and form a partnership in exchange for some concessions? It pains me tae even think about it, but these troubling times may need us tae make such concessions. However, I’m sure it’ll come back tae bite us in the arse in a few years. They’ll likely see us as competition, just like they do in the Dublin Gold Field.
Should we initiate diplomacy and invite them tae buy our iridium instead o’ chasin’ this vain dream?
Finally, me preferred option, should we blast them tae oblivion, or pirate them as they’ve done tae us? That could lead tae consequences, or they might just brush it off, especially since last time, it cost them dear on all fronts just tae get a destroyed base.
I’ll leave ye tae ponder this while I return tae me armor engineering project.
