Peterson sighed gustily as he laid down the phone and reached for his pipe.
And since our geneticists have learned how to put aggressiveness into the genes of terrestrial-origin plants why nowadays they briskly overwhelm the native flora wherever they are introduced. And it's rational to let it happen.
"The terrestrial food plants grown hydroponically and sold in the dome cities actually are a supplemental sideline to the real purpose of this place. Marscorp is conducting its own experiments here, with a crew of expert geneticists.
It is impossible to be absolutely sure at this late date, and the commander's expedition, lacking any qualified geneticists or genetic engineers, had no way of determining and, indeed, no real interest in determining whether this was or was not true. None the less, historical evidence seems to indicate the validity of the hypothesis.
He was one of the most brilliant geneticists of Earth, and came to Mars with an experimental group that was to try to develop a human type that could live more comfortably under Martian conditions. The project was backed by the government." He stopped. It was the Chief who added: "Then Marscorp stepped in." The expression on Dark's face was blank.
