Duck you are going to get those diplomats shot, approaching a bunch of nervous Aradites usually leads to people getting killed. They are going to see you reinforcing your position as another red flag, but im game for a good fight! Oh and Abe, I was going to extract that sniper team I have on Nouvelle but I do want to make at least one instance of contact. Like some farmer sees them taking down their position or sees them running to the extraction ship. I have one system : Shao IX. I guess I will put it somewhere between Sol and Nouvelle but offset up or down some, so there is some distance between me, the Nouvellians and Sol/Terra.
