Pensatore: "I had the chance to read a few more of your scenarios. For example the classic one, the planet-killer asteroid. -- Now let's say the Syndicate or anyone else would lunch rockets or fire a very powerful laser to destroy geo-stationary satellites. The strength of a united world would be useless if we cannot bring our anti-asteroid means through the orbit because the shrapnels from the Kessler syndrome rip them apart."

HR: "Pensatore wird vermisst. [...] Die TCTF ermittelt. Die Spuren verlieren sich sehr schnell bei BGI."
Feng versucht sich zu erinnern: "Beijing Genomics Institute."
HR: "Erm, nein, das andere BGI. Die Militärtypen. Wie ich sagte, es ist eine Sackgasse."
Feng: "Gibt es alternative Theorien?"
HR: "Sie prüfen da was mit GOP. -- Ihr beide habt in letzter Zeit nur noch langsam Fortschritt gemacht. Vielleicht war er enttäuscht."
Feng: "Vielleicht. Aber ich bezweifle, dass er 30 Jahre Arbeit wegwirft, nur um woanders durchzustarten."
HR: "Hm okay. -- Man hat Notizen zu Gaia gefunden. Sie wurden nach GV transferiert. Werden Sie daraus ein eigenständiges Projekt starten?"
Feng: "Das ist komplizierte Materie. Ich würde nur ungern ohne Pensatore ein Projekt drauß machen. Die Natur eines solchen Projektes macht ihn zu einer unglaublich wertvollen ... ''Ressource''."
Feng setzte sich in den Rollstuhl. Aufgrund seiner fortschreitenden Krankheit wurde selbst Stehen anstrengend."
HR: "Keine Sorge. Im schlimmsten Fall wird die TCTF Ihnen ein ganzen Haufen neuer Saimons bringen."
Feng sah in das Gesicht des HR. Sichtbar angefressen, sagte aber nichts. Er drehte und rollte davon.
Der HR kratzte sich im Nacken. "Shit."

HR: "Hm... Also, they found notes about Gaia. The files are transfered and GV. Are you going to make it a full-fledged research project?" [Whatever happened, it seems spontaneous.]

Feng: "It's a complicated matter. I would rather want to start such a thing with Pensatore together. The nature of the project makes him a really valuable ... ''asset''."

Feng sat down in his wheel chair. Due to his progressing illness even standing was getting exhausting.
