    Sandra's excitement grew as the automated shuttle headed for the tiny spaceport. Her brunette hair swayed as she gazed out of the shuttle porthole. It had taken two years of negotiations, grant applications and political maneuvering to get to this point. Sandra was a thirty-two year old xeno-anthropologist who had been the only one in her whole field to be chosen to observe the ritual mating ceremony of the Gaia planet that was to occur tomorrow. The Gaian's had been contacted a full century ago, but had rejected further contact. They were unwilling to fully open up their planet to visitation or even academic research because of the special and unusual qualities of their world. Gaia was a sentient planet, the native humanoid species was symbiotically linked to the environment. Any damage to the planet through pollution, contamination or bio-infestation would harm the population as well. The population looked very similar to humans, only the slight golden glow of their skin seemed different. The Titan - the hereditary ruler of the planet - had finally agreed to a protected status for the planet in exchange for limited study of their world. The Space Marines had stationed a small permanent space dock above the planet and maintained the off limits area, while the human scientists lived above the planet, receiving information from the Gaian's in carefully controlled amounts.

Sandra's study hoped to explore this aspect in particular of the Gaian culture and publish the ground breaking research. Sandra watched Gaia grow bigger in the viewport as she dwelt on her good fortune. As a xeno-anthropologist with only a few years of first contact experience she was surprised when her name had been selected. The application for study of the cultural dynamics of the sexual and religious rituals of Gaia had been made two years ago. Her mentor had filed the application for him and his research assistants, of which Sandra was the most junior, to study the almost secretive society. After many interviews, medical tests and background checks, only Sandra had been granted an invitation to the upcoming major festival. It would mark the start of a two year in-depth study of Gaia. The media exposure and professional jealousy of the last six months was thankfully over. To say Sandra's mentor was unhappy was an understatement. The only reason Sandra ...
