Gaians and Corsairs

[farmerman]

I had been thinking about this the other day, and the logic really isn't the strongest. Though I can see why the Gaians might be interested in artifacts, with a lot of them having an educated background and, hey, they could lead to a solution for the whole terraforming problem (no idea how, but it's worth a shot, right?).

Anyway, I was thinking, perhaps some actual roleplay reasoning be formed? While the Corsairs did do that whole Molly explosion thing, perhaps they are regretting it? I'm not sure on the timeframe of that though so that may not work.

But the Corsairs are also short on food and Crete doesn't help that. Perhaps the scientific types among the Gaians are working on an ecofriendly solution to making food growth viable on Crete without breaking everything like terraforming does? That gives the Corsairs food (in theory), and the Gaians cut off potential terraforming before it happens. Perhaps the Corsairs then help supply the Gaians and/or trade them information about what is happening with Gaian enemies outside their usual ZoI?
