Payback paces his office, worrying. The Miranu have been researching quite a bit recently, but without a spy in their midst, he has no clue what they are doing, and in what areas. At this point, however, he must think about retaliation against the Zidagar and Zachit. He knows the Zachit are lying in wait for strike against the Zidagar forces at the Rock. But he found not many of the forces that are at Zachit disposal awaiting his answer. So he assumes the worst, that the police force is coming to the other part of his space, and quite possibly directly to his station! He begins gathering forces in systems near North Tip, to spot the incoming forces well ahead of time and to flank them if they decide to jump in after him.

I regret to inform you that we cannot committ any forces to battle at this moment, as we have been driven back on our heels by the treacherous Zachit and Zidagar, and must not lose our base and accompanying research. If it pleases you, you could head off the Zachit forces assumed to be arriving here. If this threat is eliminated, and assuming no double-crossing from you, we will be in a better position to cnosider your offer.
