1 nq210501_msg0001 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hey, what can I do for you?
2 nq210501_msg0002 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 We heard you're doing well for ether at
the moment. Do you have any ideas how
you're going to use it?
3 nq210501_msg0003 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Ah, you want to know? Yeah, we're sitting
on more ether than we can collect.
4 nq210501_msg0004 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 The work's been going better than
we could ever have imagined since
we perfected the ether probe.
5 nq210501_msg0005 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Ah, that must have greatly improved
the efficiency of your mining operations.
6 nq210501_msg0006 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Me and Varen are the minds behind it.
We wanted a more effective way to find
ether channels.
7 nq210501_msg0007 3 0x8158 0x4081 0x430 126 Not bad.
8 nq210501_msg0008 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It's done wonders for our ether stocks,
but yeah, lately it's a bit excessive.
9 nq210501_msg0009 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What a problem to have, right? Oh no,
we have too much ether! How awful!
10 nq210501_msg0010 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 If you've got too much, why not use it?
11 nq210501_msg0011 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 OK, let's think about this.
Any good ideas?
12 nq210501_msg0069 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Any good ideas?
13 nq210501_msg0012 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Share it freely among the colonies
14 nq210501_msg0013 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Donate it to colonies in need
15 nq210501_msg0014 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Give it to whoever wants it most
16 nq210501_msg0015 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I suggested that, but it was rejected.
It doesn't benefit us.
17 nq210501_msg0016 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Tulgrim from the survey branch's
pretty stubborn about this stuff, so
there's not much way around it.
18 nq210501_msg0018 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Hmmm... Not sure we can
just give it away for free.
19 nq210501_msg0019 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I made a similar suggestion, but
the sergeant shot it right down.
20 nq210501_msg0020 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 She's not cruel, but she's very...
by the book, shall we say.
21 nq210501_msg0021 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Unless we got some kind of compensation,
we'd never get Tulgrim on board, not to
mention captains like Sif.
22 nq210501_msg0022 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 If we can hammer out more concrete
criteria and narrow down the possible
recipient colonies...then maybe.
23 nq210501_msg0023 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 We really can't just be sitting on
this ether surplus, like you said.
24 nq210501_msg0024 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It's a difficult problem, certainly.
25 nq210501_msg0025 6 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 How about narrowing it down
to a nearby colony?
26 nq210501_msg0070 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Which colony will you work with?
27 nq210501_msg0026 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Work with Colony Tau
28 nq210501_msg0027 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Work with Colony 4
29 nq210501_msg0028 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Work with Colony 30
30 nq210501_msg0029 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Colony Tau? We won't get anything
out of trading with them. No good.
31 nq210501_msg0030 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What kind of colony is Colony 4?
I don't know much about them, myself.
32 nq210501_msg0031 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Does it seem like the kind of colony
that can make a fair trade for ether?
33 nq210501_msg0032 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh, they could probably pay us
back for ether in Levnis tech.
34 nq210501_msg0033 5 0x8148 0x4081 0x430 126 Mate, you're never going to shift
that ether at this rate.
35 nq210501_msg0034 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 You need solid justifications if you
want to get approval and convince
the top brass to back you up.
36 nq210501_msg0035 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 If it's not a colony like 30 which
can pay us back in kind, we're
just not going to get the OK.
37 nq210501_msg0036 3 0x8148 0x4081 0x430 126 What an utter faff.
38 nq210501_msg0037 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 I agree. Ideally, I'd like to be able
to distribute it more widely.
39 nq210501_msg0038 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But that's not really my job. And without
any other bright ideas, I think we'll have
to settle for this one.
40 nq210501_msg0039 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, I'm the same way.
41 nq210501_msg0040 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 If you can get your ether's worth,
they'll agree to the plan, yes?
42 nq210501_msg0041 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What are you thinking?
43 nq210501_msg0071 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 To get their ether's worth...
44 nq210501_msg0042 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Distribute it free of charge.
45 nq210501_msg0043 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Sell it directly.
46 nq210501_msg0044 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 19 Sell it through Nopon.
47 nq210501_msg0045 5 0x8148 0x4081 0x430 126 I can't think of much, aside
from just giving it away.
48 nq210501_msg0046 6 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Right? If you can't use it all,
then what does it matter?
49 nq210501_msg0047 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Couldn't you just straight up
sell the stuff?
50 nq210501_msg0048 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Not a bad idea, but logistically,
it'd be a pain to lug around.
51 nq210501_msg0049 3 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, I guess it's hard to go selling it
without creating a load of work...
52 nq210501_msg0050 4 0x8128 0x4081 0x430 126 There's only one way to ensure that
you get a fair price and avoid incurring
extra work on your side.
53 nq210501_msg0051 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 And that is?
54 nq210501_msg0052 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 The Nopon who travel with the
caravans. You sell through them.
55 nq210501_msg0053 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 There's always demand for ether.
Trading in it should net plenty of profit.
56 nq210501_msg0054 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 And you have the added benefit of
utilizing the Nopon trade routes.
57 nq210501_msg0055 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Colonies suffering from ether shortages are
sure to be somewhere on their itinerary.
58 nq210501_msg0056 uc1 0x8158 0x4081 0x430 126 Oh, yeah...!
59 nq210501_msg0057 4 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Talk to the Nopon - I'm sure they'll
be happy to buy from you. They won't
have any trouble selling it.
60 nq210501_msg0058 uc1 0x8158 0x4081 0x430 126 That's a great idea! We should do that!
61 nq210501_msg0059 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 This way Lambda gets to sell its ether,
and ether-starved colonies get to buy
it from Nopon.
62 nq210501_msg0060 1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 But you're going to need to get some
kind of approval for it, aren't you?
63 nq210501_msg0061 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Yeah, I'll put the request in.
64 nq210501_msg0062 5 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 What, just like that?
65 nq210501_msg0063 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 It's better to get the ball
rolling straight away.
66 nq210501_msg0064 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 First we have to open talks with the
Nopon. The merchants, preferably.
67 nq210501_msg0065 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 We can take care of that, if you want?
68 nq210501_msg0066 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Would you?
69 nq210501_msg0067 2 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 Of course. No trouble.
70 nq210501_msg0068 uc1 0x8100 0x4081 0x430 126 There's a Nopon trader near the entrance
to the colony. Thanks for this.
