Look there. That rather new black tower near the space-port. What goes on behind it's implacable walls? Let's imagine, shall we? Let's imagine that we are invisible observers of a meeting so secret, even the owners of this building are unaware of it.The meeting is between a woman in her middle years, obviously never a heartstopping beauty, but possesing an obvious elegance none the less.....and an elderly man, a scientist or doctor perhaps.Quiet now, they're begining to speak..."Doctor Menendez, what is the status on director Stone's latest pet project?""Well madam Director, as you know, the genetics laboratory has run into difficulty with duplicating the level of success shown in Subject Seventeen. The director is putting a large amount of pressure on Doctor Tenekawana, and the entire scientific team is in a panic to produce some kind of results. Mr. Nekkenwande has even gone so far as to recommend sending a heavily armed retrieval team after the Subject."She's running her her ringer along the top of the high-backed chair at the head of the table....doesn't she look so possesive? "I want you to agree with that recommendation." She holds up her hand to forstall his protests. "The next board meeting is in two weeks. I want you to arrange a meeting between myself and the president of Titan Inc. They will undoubtedly be quite interested in Subject Seventeen, once they know what her.....its iscapabilities are.""You're willing to turn the Subject over to Titan?""Titan's specialty is electronics, it always has been. They don't have the equipment or the facilities to handle bio-engineering. All I am looking for is another failure for Stone that I can show the board.""I see. And once Stone is out, you finish your deal with Titan and get the Subject back....."".....and all is right with the world....." she finished for him.
