In terms of trade, they will take the iron chondrites, but it is not really very scarce for them. I think you would gain unfortunately only 1d100 ISD. They are probably more interested in say some of the machinery (you have levitating pallets and loaders - imagine if someone on Earth right now gave you a flying forklift truck or excavator) and they would be very excited if you gave them say a mining shuttle. The tech they really need is anything agricultural, so ironically the hydroponic or aeroponic gardens that Morfran just set fire to etc. I imagine you have some of this on a smaller scale somewhere on the Mining Rig, which you could share with them. You are not entirely sure what Isonomy regulation is on any of these tech transfers... in general it is all discouraged.
So I think the roll is this (these modifiers first)
Help the Bionnassay Mountain colony:
>trade iron chondrites (+5, gain 1d100 ISD)
>give them some flying loaders (+10)
>give them a mining shuttle (+20)
>show them your spacecraft hydroponics / aeroponics (+30)
>give them nothing, transfer no technology knowledge at all (-20)
>Attempt to promulgate the religion of the Holy Grid amongst them (-10)
QM: you can give them everything, ie +60. Or some combination of the above
>roll 1d100
you add +1 for Prosperity (it is sort of an influence / status roll)
DISPOSITION
40, or LESS The colonists cannot really hurt you with their crude and improvised weapons, but even mining explosives hurled against the hull of your ship can inhibit your ability to carry out repairs. Those also hurl abuse and many hateful words, which perhaps hurt your feelings. Unfortunately, the Mining Rig remains irradiated / damaged (with a few additional dents on the hull)
41-59 You carry out repairs, but the resources of this planet are not enough to adequately fix the ship entirely. You need to land on another planet to fully fix all systems (QM: ie 1/2 repaired)
60 or HIGHER smiling local children throw flowers over you as they sing and offer garlands, after which your gleaming starship soars into the night sky above; the blessed arrival of their benefactors will be remembered by this colony for many generations to come
>Annex this planet and enslave the entirety of the colony population
(QM: this option allows you to fully complete repairs, no roll. MuahaHAHA)
