You receive a communication from a lesser Vetucker administrator on an offworld colony. While unrelated to the last expansion wave; this Vetucker has a special request after a few years of study.
<span class="mu-g">"Your Majesty,"</span> he begins, but you wave him on to get him to cut to the chase. The only reason he is asking for an audience from you directly is for something special and risky, you can already tell.
<span class="mu-g">"-To be brief, I have reason to believe that one of the Hazaar "life moons", that is a fragile artificial ecosystem, is built atop a world of heavy metals. You see, this moon which orbits a gas giant around a young yellow star, has all the signs of deep and rich mineral reserves; something the Hazaar would have been unable to harvest with their inferior acid-based mining technologies. In fact, no record shows they had any knowledge of Azurium, except as the invincible canisters sent by the Baalathi! With your permission, my liege, I would like to extract some of this Azurium from beneath the ocean in this life-moon's crust!"</span>
<span class="mu-b">"...And you're sure there is Azurium under there?"</span>
<span class="mu-g">"Well, no, our scanners can't reach it for now, but I'm very confident. I'd stake my career on it. What do you say?"</span>
You can either choose to trust this administrator, or deny his request to avoid any foolish waste of time or resources. Guess it will have to come down to your gut, as before.
