Row-bot Base

You approach the Row-bot base and quickly find Alpha Prime. It's hard to hide a ship that size.

"Hello, human. We don't really need your assistance, but I would be willing to negotiate an exchange of services if you could locate some superconductor chips for us. I believe that X chips is a worthwhile goal."

• Chips requested increases as other bases' requests are fulfilled:

Bases Complete	Number of chips required
0	11
1	13
2	?

After fulfilling the request

Alpha Prime takes the superconductors. "You have my thanks, human. Allow me to demonstrate my gratitude, with this reward." You got an item: plastiscanner

"If you locate more of these superconductors, we will provide a re-energizing service as reciprocation."

After obtaining reward

Row-Bot Base Alpha Prime says, "We'are in the process of erecting our research facility. Please allow a few more days for construction, and we can negotiate further then."
