The face that's plastered over the viewscreen is one, that for the few who know him by sight, is notorious. Corin decided not to beat around the bush before it lost anymore leaves.

Doctor Goeben. I am Corin Frei - of the Unioners. We are many different exclamations and, I'm sure, expletives to many ears in Rheinland, but for the purpose of this transmission we are colleagues of your employer, Doctor John Holiday. I'm here personally because I value John as a friend.

I trust him to choose formidable staff.

The Nuremburg dark matter storm is about to wipe out the second most biologically diverse planet in Rheinland - with the most formidable Xenofauna found anywhere in the house. We are about to lose a trove of xenobiological life when they stand to teach us so much about the universe. They are a component of Rheinland's heritage, and therefore our duty of protection - but the goverment has largely left the biosphere to die in the agony of cellular decay. My god, it even left the people.

There are innumerable species of mega and microfauna which present an invaluable contribution to the biological heritage of Rheinland. A thriving biosphere is a vital natural resource. From organic hydrocarbons to materials science innovation - nature is the friend of the engineer and the inspiration of the dreamer. It is a useful, vital, economic quality that the rich seem to ignore and run roughshod over. We Unioners have our varied opinions on how to live life - but we believe that life itself is worth protecting. Hypocritical? Well, we'll let the newscasters on the CNS make up our minds for us, shall we?

Whilst the goverment is manufacturing consent amongst the populace to leave Munich to burn, and whilst the Bundschuh dabble in human trafficking, no-one is coming to save the sharks, Doctor. The Pirasharq and the Gemenii worms are organisms of remarkable evolutionary complexity, intelligence, and physiological properties. Did you know, that in their natural state, they are practically immune to clinical aging? We have seen such pheonomenae before, but never in such a vast specimin of advanced marine life.

I'm an engineer reading from a script, Doctor. I have barely breathed the air of Nuremburg. I have never had the luxury of swimming in its seas. If even -I- can see the value of preserving life, then it is imperative that we do so. I assume you have a sense of pragmatic humanitarianism about you due to your employers.

You're a geneticist. Doctor Von Goeben, the Unioners will fund you a research placement of indefinite budget through our proxies at the Federal University of New Belin. You will be overtly be following a lawful and redemptive career path, but in reality, you will be financed by us. Any resources you need - should you need to flex the paperwork or gather data without filing innumerable trivial federal permits, come to us. We will, quietly, fetch you the samples you need.

You see, Doctor Goeben - the Unioners believe it is possible to chart the entire genetic archive of Nuremburg. To create a bank of knowledge that will enable the dying, soon-dead world to be brought back. To mend the broken links in the biosphere. To save what remains - possibly - but if it cannot be saved, to create the documentation of life that will enable evolution to go on once the dark matter has cleared the star.

If you can save living Gemenii worm and Pirasharqs from destruction, that would also be invaluable.

Think of what will happen if you are successful - you will certainly be worthy of a Boltzmann prize, in both Biogenetics and in Humanitarianism. You will hold expertise that both Planetform and the Gaians would pay lucratively for. You would, undoubtedly, be recognised as one of Sirius's premier geneticists.

Pragmatically, you will have the backing of an powerful Rheinlandic cabal on the fringe of great political change in your homeland. And of course, you would be able to do all of this without abandoning your tenure at Med Force Enterprises.

If you have any ethical concerns, think upon this:

You have a week to consider our proposal. Nuremburg is steadily being enveloped and every second another few hundred species become infertile, or utterly extinct. This is your chance to make your mark on history, doctor. Upon science.
