Corin grins, raising a glass.

Ahh, good! You have a workmanlike spirit, doctor.

Aquiring samples may prove challenging. The Unioners have the technical resources, but many of them have barely seen a cow, let alone megafauna of this nature. I cannot fully trust a poor son of Hamburg not to vapourize an ill-tempered Pirasharq out of the water. There's enough Neutron radiation in those seas already.


We have a special interest in these megafaunas as they represent the summit of two separate evolutionary familia. They also contain some of the most intricate genetic complexity. Athrocentrically, they are cultural representations of Hamburg. The Pirasharq has an intelligence bordering upon Sapience - perhaps they are sapient - it has been insufficiently tested, analogous to the larger oceanic dolphins on earth. Their nervous system appears to have perfect cellular regeneration - extraplanetary Unioners like myself suffer radiation injuries and developmental disorders from spending most of our lives in inadequate space habitats. There is some thought that they may be of use to wetware computing innovations amongst corporate circles - we Unioners do not only predate upon the corporations - we're part of their ecosystem. We would prefer that Rheinland corporations gain a leg up in the innovation tree over their foreign competitors, as that feeds back into better working conditions for their employees. Unioners are not Hessians - we do not want to burn the system down for the sake of the screaming. As for the Geminii worms, their hives are barely understood, whilst the enzymes created by the worms form the building block of the entire biosphere - how such a case has come to develop whilst the worms are rather more evolved than some other indigenous organisms, is uncertain. It's a great evolutionary mystery that may yield some valuable - profitable - truth.


I agree as to your objective. We can provide equipment and containment units of any size. However, you may need to hunt for your own recovery team if you want us to work efficiently. Producing hardware for the task? Now that's an activity we will excel at, Doctor.

I am not an ecologist, far from it. But it may prove that the Geminii worm enzymes are the foundation that the rest of the ecosystem rests upon. Along with any future biological preserve on another world.

Best of luck to you. If you have a shopping list, send it our way.
