Greetings, fellow scientists, ecologists and warriors of Gaia,
Recently I've met up with some of you in space after deciding to return to my so called homeland of Cambridge and we've had quite the talk about the Gaian Guard. I'll try to keep my background story short, because what really matters is the future and how we forge it.
Born on planet Cambridge in 799 A.S., given only the name Holly in memory of a long extinct tree from a far away world before the Great Colonization of Sirius, began the journey of my life. Like most of the kids around, I was surrounded by brilliant minds from the start, so it's no surprise I decided to take up science from an early age. By the age of 17 I was already finishing my Theoretical Physics education in the famous Cambridge Research Institute. Thinking back, the only thing I was really concerned with was helping the people of Bretonia progress by various technological advancements, this including experimenting with various weapons to support 'our' military. Little did I know, things were actually spiralling out of control.
As time passed, me and a few other researches began to doubt the intentions of the Bretonia government and military. It turned out that the nuclear weapon prototypes our team had produced, have been 'borrowed' by them while we were being send on various exploration missions around Sirius in order to gather and analyze planets' resources. Needless to say after discovering such valuable information we tried to go public, but before we knew it, me and two of my fellow physicists were thrown in the BPA Newgate Prison in the Manchester system. Time runs slowly inside the prison cells, or when being transferred to Planetform bases of operation in the Taus and having weak-minded fools conducting experiments on you in order to extract information.
During the 5 years of my stay in the BPA Newgate, my hate towards the government and the companies grew stronger and just recently I managed to escape the fortress with the help of a corsair prisoner I met there. Unfortunately he and my team weren't that lucky. We managed to take over a Planetform transport by force and make it to the Omega-5 system, after being heavily damaged by the police authorities and the military. Having only intermediate piloting education, because of the time I spent in prison, luck was on my side as I was barely able to fly the transport deeper into the Omegas after the Corsair pilot and scientists had died from their wounds. And here I am now, gathering information and readings of the Military's doings while drowning the horrible memories with the Corsairs' wonderful rum.
I managed to send two probes into planet Sarum earlier this week, when I was passing through the Cambridge system once again, perhaps I was feeling a bit nostalgic. The data hasn't been completely analyzed yet, but initial readings suggest the use of improved nuclear devices and without doubt there were numerous detonations over the last month. Little do these imbeciles know, that the ice crystals there are being formed by living microorganisms, so they can protect the precious gases they need in order to survive. This is why I decided to seek help from the Protectors of Nature, known as the Gaian Guard. Abominations such as these must be stopped, unless we want the recent history of Sprague and so many other countless worlds to repeat itself, and again just because the corrupt authorities decided that destroying one's natural habitat would earn them profit. My mind is completely made up - I wish to support your cause as best as I can.
These are some groundbreaking news you brought to us. Native lifeforms on Sarum still undiscovered by Cambridge's scientific community? Intriguing. Just like the nuclear weapons project you mentioned. I can assure you that some of your future colleagues will flood you with queries about it.
We can only assume you are still residing on Cadiz. We have a small number of people stationed there, so there won't be any issues with picking you up. We'll speak again onboard the Torshavn Spaceport.
Ich've managed to get avay from this fight. First of alle Sie never paid mich for helping Sie, 2 million, that vas wir deal.
Second thing: Ich need your help since Ich can't stay in Cortez and Coronado anymore, those Craymertians, or vhatever as they calling themselves, vill likely try to hunt me down. Basically Ich need you to hide mich Ich believe Ich've proved michself as somehov useful and you don't seem to be a bad people. Ich have my Sabre to offer und that's it. Ich ran avay from Vaterland after mich family vas repressed, this Sabre belongs to my mutter, vho is currently arrested. Ich ran to the borderworlds between Bretonia and Liberty, nov mich life ist in danger because of helping Sie und Ich hope that you von't live me one against the Craytrenants.
Ich hope that this message vill reach you... Und, Ich understand that you have no reason to trust mich a lot, but Ich have novhere else to go.

Do you agree on the possibility of you being sacrificed to the Goddess of Floraism?
I live die for the Goddess of Floraism.
This is a hasty decision on your part. I've barely received a report about the result of the skirmish. Are you aware what you are getting into?
It will not be a mere temporary shelter. The Guard will require your contribution to the cause, be it by fighting or non-combat duties.
Ich understand that there ist no vay back. Das ist mich life and Ich villing to do vhat I vant vith it. Ich fully understand the risks und responsibility, but Ich von't let Craytreanets to get mich so easily.
If this is what you wish, I shall not deny you the chance to serve the Gaian cause.
I assume you are still in Coronado. We'll send a fighter to escort you to our closest outpost.
Hello my fellow Gaians. My name is Joaquin Che Araya, and I believe we can help each other.
As to if that belief proves to become symbiotic remains to be seen, but I'm confident that if you allow me proper audience to consider my proposal, the mutual benefits of folding me into your ranks will become apparent.
First, I should make absolutely clear that I am not a fighter pilot. I fight for the Gaian cause in my own way, and that way is financial.
I am part of a very small trading co-operative known as LochNet, and although I have lost direct contact with my business partner for a little over a year now, the co-operative is still functioning as originally intended, and is continuing to grow.
For my part, I captain the freighter "GreenthInc." and have spent my time over the seasons solidifying trade relationships with our allies and sympathizers not only in Bretonia and Kusari, but to a lesser extent, I have gained a toehold into the Borderworlds and even as far away as Rheinland as well.
I feel that now is the time to offer my allegiance to the Guard, not only to hopefully facilitate expansion of the Lochnet Co-operative, but much more importantly, to do my duty and serve the Movement in ways that money simply can't buy.
If you consider my proposal and choose to open a dialogue with me, I will be a completely open book.
Gaia will not bleed because my blood belongs to Gaia.
I will bleed for her.
I'm Sherman Hitcher, the current person in charge of the Guard. I admit, your proposal is of interest to us. Resourceful people of business seem to be hard to come by around here. Especially those that have already established themselves. We'll be more than glad to accept your pledge of support. Your outreach and contacts can prove invaluable.
Sentinel Collins is a person best suited to ironing out the exact details, as she is the one responsible for what little economy we have. She is currently staying at Skye, so I'd like you to head there as soon as you can. She'll be informed to expect you.
Thank you for this opportunity, Warden Hitcher. I am proud to begin serving with my new brothers and sisters of the Guard as I have always served Gaia.
I can now offer the totality of my assets, my contacts, my loyalty and my life.
