About This Book
An attorney challenges a space authority's order to eliminate an asteroid community that cultivates microbes for food and materials. In court the defenders demonstrate bacterially produced foods and self-replicating construction bricks that assemble into housing, but the bricks multiply uncontrollably and breach the courtroom, turning the hearing into chaotic proof of unconventional technology. The episode neutrally explores bureaucratic prejudice, practical value of unusual lifeforms, and the unpredictable consequences of biological engineering.
