This is the midway point on the route, Merlin. The residential district is being used
as a garrison by Sol.
Poking around there will get you shot. With Keypo and Elthisia in the state they're in,
this colony has become the main doorway
into the Earth systems. Getting anywhere near Earth is dangerous. 
New-Io was hit hard,
which has everyone is on edge. So you're the hunter that's going up against Sol. Few will say it, but we're all cheering for you. Undergo surgery? Hitpoints recovered. What do you need? Trade weapons and armor? Trade items? You took out the New-Io base!?
You don't mess around. That mess you caused at New-Io, it drew
some manpower away from the blockaded routes.
Just enough for me to slip through. We're Elthisians. 
We're hominids that have been augmented
for survival on low gravity planets. Our own system has become uninhabitable,
so we came here. Soon enough this place
will be attacked by the Sol too.
They're slaughtering people with no end in sight. 
