"Dublin, and our own mining efforts there, are but one of the many things I was hoping to clear up in this meeting, miss Hart." Johnathan answered. He appeared quite calm. "As I understand you had a mishap with a misformulated bounty, that led to the attack on several of our miners, and possibly Molly miners as well. The details on this are still unclear to me, but I do believe that you are sincere in stating that it was a misstake. A big one, but then again, they happen."
John paused a moment, glancing to miss Branwen and Jack to gauge their reactions, before returning his attention to Sequoia.
"The Guild will keep mining, miss Hart. It's at the core of what we are. Laborers, 'though we're not as profit and production driven as the BMM is. They tend to use stripmining methods which end up being destructive to the fields. I'm sure you've seen the state of Leeds, both the system and the planet, many times. It is that kind of destruction we'll strive to avoid, even if it means keeping our operations smaller scaled then most the house corporations would prefer.
I am interested in your organization as a whole, as well. Your objectives, as I am told, include the preservation of planet Gaia in it's present state, which puts you at odds with the Planetform corporation. I've also received reports that your organization is harassing planetforming efforts around Harris, or at the very least, was until the outbreak of the Tau conflict. Is this due to your conflict with Planetform, or is it the terraforming process on Harris itself you oppose? What are the objectives of the Gaian movement?"
