You ultimtately decide to be better safe then sorry, and reduce the Redwings power by <span class="mu-i">researching countermeasures to the boiling guns</span>. While not their only weapon, it is their most infamous and fearsome weapon. Having the ability to boil a crew alive in their ship does sound pretty brutal, and at the very least having some modifications to protect against it will be good for morale.
“By painting these heat-abosrbing decals, which can be placed into a pleasing and aesthetic, decorative arragnement as such, we can greatly increase the ship's ability to be “boiled” by concentraing the heat into specific hot zones or secondary rooms. While it won't help with the venting issue, we predict a 25% increase to how long a ship can be “boiled” before the crew becomes incapacitated or killed by simply focusing the heat into areas less important and not in direct contact with the crewmembers. As a plus, this method is also cheap and won't require a complete retrofit of the fleet, allowing us to still hit the deadline for the final attack wave...”

It's unfortunate you had to stop research on more important matters, but at least the Redwings have had their signature weapon countered. As you prepare your final attack wave, the Threemind has something extra to say.
“As you know your Majesty, the Aristocrats base their economy and biotech off of a single very peculiar type of lifeform; the Wisdom Tree. This tree creates glowing “fruits” which contain ready made protiens for rapid growth or repair of tissues, tons of high energy juices, rare earth metals, and even incoded information in RNA sequences. There may be a final opportunity to shift the election in our favor against our biggest threat.”
<span class="mu-b">”Yes, I am aware. What does that have to do with the Goldwings?”</span>
“The Goldwings look up to the Aristocrats; whose “soft power” is strongest in our sector of space. The Urgi also have a strange fascination with the spiritual and medicinal; they have a fondest for recreational drugs, especially those with “mystical” qualities. These fruits seem to have all these qualities for them; and many have got it in their heads that they may be the secret to the Aristocrats biological immortality or even grant the mythical power of flight. Aristocrats can take on forms that can fly, which is something they flaunt to the Urgi.”
