Greetings friends,

It's been a busy day making interesting friends. First, I got to experience a lovely tour of the Provence system in Gallia courtesy of Cristofanu Casanova. He's the "Head of Business Development" for the "Agenza Turistica di Pruvenza" of the "Gruppu Parlamentariu di Marsiglia." A lot of fancy words for our point of contact with the Union Corse. They want our passengers and we want their destinations. While we knew about the Cannes and the facilities it offered, we were treated to some of the more unique sights in the system. Planet Avignon in particular is quite stunning and I would not have appreciated its blue-green swirls had it not been pointed out to me. I imagine we will have many reasons to visit Provence in the future, as the passengers aboard Reverie and a delayed Red Velvet Club gave hearty endorsements, Orzel Faststar was there in his Dorado as well and similarly seemed to enjoy the tour that was put on for us. Mr. Casanova's Mistral Noir class fighter, the Corsica Nostru, wasn't much to look at (save for its lovely purple exhaust) but his guidance was top notch.

I took my personal shuttle back to meet up with Breezewood which was holding position in Sigma-19 near planet Hiran with Hawaii. After re-uniting with my beloved liner, we headed towards the gate to Sigma-17 to meet up with Layla Velasquez. She's a very different kind of Gaian, not as ideologically blind as some of her compatriots. We've been in negotiations for weeks over her project to build better ship board habitats for Gaian wildlife. I've been tracking down the components needed to make the devices (xenobiotic filters, alien organisms, industrial hardware, etc) and finally had all the components in place. She arrived in her destroyer, carrying 10 of her people to assemble and manage the mini-menageries. The self contained units will be a relief on Breezewood's systems and the animals seem to enjoy the higher humidity and rainfall that their environments afford them.
The 10 Gaians now stationed on the ship still seem wary of their environment, but I think we will all get used to each other with time. If they wanted Breezewood dead, they could have destroyed us in Sigma-19. Seems they do truly want the animals to have a better habitat, and I admit their expertise with the creatures outpaces what we've managed to pick up along the way through trial and error.

So we now feature the first Gaian approved floating wildlife sanctuary open to the general public. I think that's something to write home about. However, neither of us are under any delusions that this means an end to all hostility between our factions. This is hopefully a first step in reconciling some of our differences. With ecotourism on Gaia proper out of the question, their main grievance with us is moot. We are not friends, but we no longer have conflicting visions worth killing each other for. I imagine our friends at Planetform will have a much tougher time trying to mend their fences with the Gaians, however.

Regards,
