Two figures stood at the 'viewing platform' of the CoBTH station, looking down at the world being slowly terraformed below them. One of there first and only colonies out in space, but now a world filled more by Post-Human refugees then their own Illumien people. The two stood in robes dating back to what could've been long forgotten times, but were read, written, painted, sang, and remembered well. After several seconds, the elder of the two, a woman decided to speak.
"They wouldn't care in the slightest if any of us were to live or die."
"And yet they would be dead without us."
"At least they understand that."
"They have to, this is the Man-Machine Collective."
There was a period of silence before the younger man decided to note something as well.
"What again were the two main industries of there's we were interested in?"
"Books and arms manufacturing."
"Hmmm, information and culture is something we could certainly need more of; and there is a massive recreational industry for weapons." He said, before turning to look at her, "I fail to see how this is going to mean a serious impact for either their economy or ours."
"Yes and their production is a bit low when it comes to weapons I am afraid. However, they are publishing a wide range of high quality novels and books of study, while there is much agricultural production of theirs going to waste, along with mining in fact."
"Mining? How much mining?"
"There used to be a lot of mining, but that has decreased over time. Despite this, metal is metal."
"Indeed. I would presume their meat and milk production isn't that high?"
"Perhaps lower then us in fact."
"Good and bad I suppose."
"They have a stronger retail industry, so anything that flows to them should sell very well."
There was a beeping sound and the older looked down at her arm, before pulling down a sleeve.
"Hmmm."
"What is it?"
"It appears they actually have a fairly solid beef industry after all. Might even be grass fed or at least acceptable."
"Hmmm.. Well it should sell well to the other MegaPowers of Nidus."
"It should."
The two of them looked up and blinked a few times, noticing what looked like a small fleet or collection of ships approaching.
"That must be them."
