On a Diplomatic Mission

Punish the [<S>108201|Xabu Hunters] who attacked [123107|Jeffro Bigotspear].

First Mate, these natives are dangerous! Don't let their appearances deceive you! The Shotak Pirates told me it was possible to earn a lot of gold trading with them. So I made them a deal. I wanted to offer them a chemical found on this island which accelerates plant growth, and in exchange get some of that special ore found in the [ZONE_TAPATAPA_GORGE|Tapatapa Gorge]. I'd have been able to improve my budget for research if I'd been able to sell the ore to the other pirates.

But these natives! They stole the chemical I'd brought. The only reason they gave was: "We must keep justice for the ancestors!" Then they took it all away. [123106|Nicole Loppin] has spent a lot more time with the natives than I have, and she always told me the Xabu were 'placid'. What a load of rot!

Can you get revenge for me? Excellent! They've just departed and shouldn't be too far away. Teach them a lesson...and if you can, get some of that chemical back.

(You tell [123107|Jeffro Bigotspear] that the natives only took the stuff away from him because they feared it might destroy nature and enrage their ancestors.)

Oh, I see... And I thought with the growth formula I'd be doing them a favor. I had no intention of annoying them. I didn't think it would put their environment in danger...

At least I've learned something. Next time I'll be sure to examine their habits more carefully before trying do any deals with them.

These natives are simply uncivilized. It's extremely difficult to come to any understanding with them.
