[Maybe they will take pity on us and give us a status upgrade so that we can start properly trading for things that aren't considered too high risk.] Max suggested.

[That is a possibility, but I think humanity will have to clean up their mess at home first. The Trade Group has made huge progress in bringing our sector of the Galaxy under control since we left, but it's still a mess. There are hundreds of inhabited systems still actively hostile to the Reavers' efforts, and that doesn't even take into consideration all of the species in the Northeast sector of the Galaxy, who were previously more technologically advanced.

They are unhappy about our rapid advancement. There has been word that the so-called peaceful Federation on the North side of our Galaxy has been feeding humans military technology and using double agents to stoke wars for the past few centuries so that we wouldn't get out of control or settle down and start working on ourselves.] Nico replied.
