What are the odds of "oops we killed it" or "oh god what is it doing to the ship what have we done"?

A crew that is now trying very hard to make us all dead. Very not cool.

To dissuade violence towards oneself, as an individual or a nation, one must make it clear that aggression will be met with annihilation, while mutually beneficial trade is welcomed and preferred. Also: something that has Intel is still needed.

You misunderstand: the crew I was referring to was the players' squad.

If we do round up an extermination force as in option A, what are the odds someone else is going to pick up where we left off and take the human facility bounty out from under our nose-equivalents in the time it takes to muster up? (Time-vs-risk)

Well, as of right now you are the only people that know about the Human facility (as far as you know). If you're willing to pay for expedited delivery, you could probably have mercs of some sort here by tomorrow. Of course, there's the possibility that the mercs may recognize New Faithful for what it is and spread the word. Basically, you could most likely get mercs here to clear out the LA in time, but OpSec becomes a bigger concern.

And how well do we know the local mercenary companies? Any that we suspect actually wouldn't try to screw us over because of the prize?

B, we don't care about such petty things as fragile meatbag environmental tolerances and should be able to do the job fine. I don't want to gently caress around with hacking Human installations in case any security takes issue with a failure, just go in and cut it away ourselves then fix the place up slow and careful once we're no longer in imminent danger.

I'd prefer to spend 1 STP on the search for the other facilities and 1 STP on the search for the feral nephs of interest if possible. Maybe one represents some of our staff and the Twi-far, the other represents some of our staff and Liz, or something. Accomplishing our neph contract would probably repay the STP with considerable interest anyway.

Amending my vote with this, if I can.
