Dr Robin Maldon, Arid-Zone Ecologist and member of the Cambridge Ecology Research Institute here.
The arid-land ecologicts amongst you may know me from my previous works including: "Sub-Temperate Invertebrate Species of Planet New London", "Denver Dunehoppers: Masters of Water-Stress Resistance" and "Sun and Sand, the Amazing Adaptions of Arthropod Arid-Zone Colonists".
Anyway, shameless and shameful plugs aside, I've run into a bit a problem with the "powers that be" after my survey of the microfauna of Planet Sprague. It seems that there are a number of uncatalogued and undescribed invertebrate and bacteriod species present on the Planet.
I am sure you will appreciate the importance of this situation considering the current vigourous efforts to terraform the planet. These species, or subspecies, are unlikely to be found anywhere else in Sirius and a full evaluation of their ecological and medical value should, I believe, be undertaken before any further terraforming takes place.
Now, the reason I am contacting you regarding this is that I have been threatened with all sorts of uncouth repercussions if I go public with my findings. Of course, I would like to know that I have friends to go to if, and when, I do.
As you can probably tell from this vid-link, I am currently stuck out on assignment in a particularly hazardous area of Sprague, no doubt the "higher powers" within Planetform are hoping I suffer an unfortunate accident here.
However, I have secured passage from the Planet with a group of Rheinlandic smugglers. If you are willing to take me in, I will make my way to your choice of destination as soon as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to hear my case, I look forward to hearing your decision.

How familiar are you with Gaian RP/lore/goals etc.? Reasonably familiar, but by no means an expert!
Do you agree on the possibility of you being sacrificed to the Goddess of Floraism? Pending a serious theological debate, I suppose so... if it's really necessary.
You need skype, sadly. Be so nice and slap your skype below. You've got me
