[i][center][color=8882be]Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our annual meeting as per usual. Let's get straight to business. As you know, the entire Sol System gate-way coordinates have just been revealed - allowing access to the birthplace of humanity. We also have information on the various other surviving colonies-turned-nation-states.[/color]

[color=00a651]What do we plan to do with the Sol System? As we currently know, it's wholly empty without much infrastructure nor flag attached to anybody of interest to us. I say we sweep in and start immediate resource extraction. We can’t have Ustonian Electric or Petrochem beat us to the punch.[/color]

[color=8882be]I am aware of the potential. Sadly, we can’t simply just go into the Sol System and claim everything that we mine as our mine...not yet anyhow. If we did just that then that would upset some of our neighbors. For now, we will have to settle for smaller-scale operations and ram up slowly as our first start.[/color]

[color=f26522]What about our neighbors? We could surely expand into new markets. PR managed to ID six nations to get into. I can imagine Petrochem, StaAg, and BioChem are already planning their agricultural ventures soon. What’s worse, G.B.M is way ahead of us in their new market ventures. The Earth Cultural Union, United Republic of Columbia, The Xandalian Republic, and even the fucking Khanate are on their list.[/color]

[color=8882be]We’ll deal with them soon, especially G.B.M and StaAg in due time. If worse comes to worst then we can always cause an “accident” in their central F.T.L comms.[/color] 

[color=f26522]I see. What about the Sol System? Are we gonna send in a small mining fleet?[/color]

[color=8882be]That’s the plan. We can’t have G.B.M, U.E, or G.I be ahead of the curve. These fucks will not get the better of us. We’ll repay their dues as they did to us in the last war. With that said, get to work on contacting the aforementioned nations. These are new markets, people. New markets equal more credits and more power to us. We can’t have G.B.M beat us again.[/color][/center][/i]
