>>10356155Your assessment is pretty close. I did an autistic greentext when I posted them maybe two years back. Most of it was correspondence between diplomats. I've forgotten how that exchange went, but the gist was
> a stranded alien countess is trying to terraform a hostile alien world with her subjects>fuel equivalent is scarce on the planet, so its better to use native and resilient Martians as slaves>small amounts of fuel source is (pic related) is discovered>during expansion, they stumble upon large predators, which mess with the supply chain>the predators become a nuisance and the population of slaves is dropping because of it>one slave has gotten pregnant (rare occurrence), and is soon to give birth>pregnant martian is to be sent back to the countess base to protect their supply of slaves and perhaps make birthing factory>robo privateers for a rival faction intercept the transport, kill the subjects and send ransom note to countess for pregnant martian and some fish guy
