As much as the offer to invite Gaians onto my vessel to scout out her internal systems, remove one of Breezewood's signature features, and then fine me for the privilege entices me, I believe OS&C will pass at the current time. We have many wealthy patrons who are entranced by our wildlife and seek to do more for them. If you want to send me some pamphlets, I'll put them out and try to send more patrons your way.

Look, we both want to ensure the survival of these creatures. Orbital will never be 100% compliant with your ideology. You can either compromise and accept the publicity and financial assets we offer to help your cause, or you can remain ideologically pure and cut yourself off from a potential co-belligerent in the fight to save Gaian wildlife from total extinction. The Gaians tried playing pure ideology for decades and it ended up with oil derricks on "Bordeaux". I have hopes you as an individual captain can learn from the follies of your peers.

If not, Orbital has other projects that could use our credits and Wanderlust has other stories it could run. But I will say, I was hoping to do a full spread on your efforts. They interest me, and would likely interest the people with deep pockets who read our in-flight magazine.
