===Inspiring strawberries=== | |||
Daya visited an outside area – according to a sign it was a field experiment [in Green Village]. At field’s side, there was an improvised desk, onto it strawberries in black baskets. | |||
:“Fascinating... Don’t you think?” | |||
::“Yes, Mr. Spock.” | |||
:“He rose an eyebrow.” | |||
::“Hahah, that's the expression!” | |||
:“Why do all people think scientists are trekkies?” | |||
::Daya shoulders were shrugging. “Stereotypes die hard?” | |||
:“Probably... -- All I wanted to say was that these strawberries are fascinating because of their second method of reproducing. In related jargon called [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FragariaHybrid.jpg layering] but simplified: cloning. It may remind you to the umbilical cord between mammal mothers and their newborn - with the obvious difference that the plant's cloning is asexual reproduction. -- They are naturally able to do this. Nature provides us with wonderful ideas. -- We started working on cloning techniques 100 years ago but some day they became restricted and finally prohibited.” | |||
::“Why?” | |||
:“Because of ethics. You clone organisms for research and medical use which means to destroy them sooner or later. This was especially problematic with human embryonic stem cell. When do these live, when do they feel? With time an alternative appeared and ended the discussion in disadvantage of cloning. -- By chance, do you know the name Bertram Navarre?” | |||
::“I know... uhm … I'm not sure.” | |||
:“He discovered a method to change the type of cells.” | |||
::“Sounds like a important breakthrough. What happened?” | |||
:“Well, also this kind of research was seen with a critical eye by WCG. By the time they asked him to continue work in their 'special' facilities, he refused and became 'renegade'.” | |||
::“A scientist not under WCG's control is a dangerous scientist, huh?” | |||
:“Yea...” | |||
::“As far as a know there was a Syndicate attack before this village became bombed. Does it mean WCG wanted to sacrifices you to prevent the disclosing of research data...” | |||
:“I can't believe it myself but that's probably the reason.” | |||
::“Since Bertram was already at the Syndicate, what were they after?” | |||
:“[Who told you he went to the Syndicate?] You're asking a lot questions...” | |||
::“I lost my memories, remember?” | |||
:“The point is I don't know you.” | |||
::“Does it matter? We are in the same boat.” | |||
:“... How are you feeling?” | |||
::“I'm getting eaten. How good can I fell...” | |||
:“You must be one of the new DC test candidates.” | |||
::“DC?” | |||
:“The transformation takes time, your symbiont should be weaker than it is. But for a matter of fact, the bioc haven't much devoured of your or the DC's biomass yet. Why?” | |||
::“... Let's pick up some strawberries and go back to the others, okay?” | |||
:“Can't do that yet. Various Lepidoptera eats them.” | |||
::“Sorry?” | |||
:“... butterflies and moths alike. We need to cover the plants the these tarps for the night.” | |||
::“I haven't seen a single insect here since yesterday. I guess the chance is higher that an insane ninja sneaks by and steals them.” | |||
:“...” | |||
::“''Bad joke tm''... Come on.” | |||
