But this is science. Let's not get into the politics of it. We've found an amazing environment to look at, the first truly complex, macroscopic ecosystem that Humanity has discovered. Let's not sully the moment talking about petty squabbles. Next question?

Outside their positions on exobiological exploitation, they're remarkably vague. And Summerside is still reeling from the bombings last month - skittish dirtsiders tend to behave oddly. Excellent - I'll let Dr. Osmand know to expect a call. I'm sure she'll be delighted - charting marginal biospheres is a particular passion of hers.

That's what happened. U2 paid heavily to use my original idea of radial symmetry. I am now wealthy and famous. I have many beautiful wives, by whom I have many beautiful children and I fly in outer space. Yes. That’s what happened. U2 paid heavily to use my original idea of radial symmetry.

The EEC is fighting hard for jurisdiction(thanks to their excellent new director, L. Amtiskaw Jairajpuri), but Summerside's "Humans Are Born" movement seems to think that it has some claim to it because they both share carbon-based biochemistry. Frankly, it's biological chauvinism. It's not like they showed that much care while they were in charge of Earth. A set of maps would be really excellent. A map of Southern Heart and its surroundings, and the Polar Wall would be particularly valuable. I'll have Drs. Batthachandra and Crimti contact you. There’s some controversy, of course.

I know the Planetry Service has a station in geosynchronous orbit, but has official protection gone any further? I've heard rumblings from some of the bioform combines on Summerside, and it seems like they're looking for a LEL to harvest Ashlesan biologicals. Oh, yes - there's a fellow from the University of Mariner Exogeography Department - he'd like to produce a series of maps to raise awareness. Who should he contact about a position with the research group? Has Ashlesa’s conservation status under the Exoplanetary Ecological Convention been established yet?
