The relationship between the Larkinson Clan and the Gemini Family was not exactly harmonious as of late.
The mech patrols and salvage teams from both pioneering organizations frequently generated friction with each other whenever they came into proximity with each other.
Diplomatic talks became more tense and arduous whenever the Larkinsons and Geminis took part at the same time.
Minor incidents had already taken place and it was only a matter of time before a few idiots lost control of themselves and came to blows.
This was also one of the reasons why Ves was eager to leave the star system. He did not want his clan to stay in proximity to the Gemini Family any longer than necessary.
It was clear that the Geminis resented the Larkinsons for 'robbing' them of a huge reward. The value of the remains of the unclean whale was but a fraction of what it was worth when it was alive, especially now that large parts of the carcass had been taken away.
