Biotechnology and you (an Orgosoft Farms brochure sent to Khantze Lu Ge in 2108)

 Greetings, citizens of Khantze Lu Ge! We are delighted to learn of the colonization of your proud world and we admire and respect the perseverance, hard work and sacrifice that was required of you! No doubt your Chinese family at home has filled you in on the many startling and wondrous changes that have occurred back on Earth while you were out of contact, such as the scientific quantification of the principles of Psionics to the thrilling discovery that we are not alone in the universe, but we would like to take this opportunity to fill you in on a more mundane new development that promises to change your world for the better and make your lives more secure!

That development is Biotechnology. Now, I’m sure you’re thinking, ‘What does this have to do with me? I’m not a Psion.’ but not all advances in biotechnology are related to those alien looking Bioapps you have seen being used by Ministry agents or Legionnaire security forces; we refer to the less flashy and far more world-shaking breakthroughs in agricultural sciences and animal husbandry.

Breakthroughs including self-fertilizing crops, such as Sorg ™, a genetically engineered hybridization of the common soybean to include symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria, allowing year round back to back harvests with no crop rotation and a yield almost double what was the norm when your ancestors left the then-beleaguered Earth. As an added bonus, Sorg ™ is nutrient enriched and the plant itself makes a potent fertilizer once plowed under the soil. The plant is even capable of being picked annually and will replenish itself on a yearly basis, not actually needing to be plowed under and reseeded at all, although most conventional farming techniques call for 4 harvests per year making this modification of limited use for the developed terrestrial farmer. Research continues and every year new immunities, weather tolerances and insect repellent features as well as improvements to nutritional value, speed of maturation and bean size and quantity is spliced onto the species!

Meat-eaters will find our new domestic Neo-tuna ™ to be docile and to produce copious amounts of tasty and nutritious white meat, requiring only limited space to live, thanks to our improve fish-farming and kelp-field breeding pens. Similarly, by hybridizing the best qualities of Guernsey, Holstein, Hereford, Beefmaster, Brahma and American Bison, among others, our bioengineers have created a superior breed of cattle, perfectly optimized for either milking or for producing hundreds of kilos of 97% fat free lean red meat, perfectly suited to add muscle mass and energy to hard working citizens. Of course, in our facilities in the Nordamerican Southwest, we have taken this technology a step further, no longer actually producing animals to nurture and feed and butcher. Instead, Orgosoft Farms has taken tiny cell samples from various strains of beef or beefalo and from certain locations and then implanted them into a synthetic nutrient supply system and encouraged them to grow (by patented process involving natural hormones, electromagnetic stimulation and lots of love and devotion) into 100 kilo+ sheets of flesh, as nutritious and tasty as any other meat from the donor animal, grazing peacefully outside while 100,000 Nordamericans eat steaks grown from its very own tissues! The same technology can work on most larger mammals (such as deer or sheep) and will soon be available to create inexpensive and humane alternatives to poultry and fish!

These amazing technologies stem from synthetic blood and tissue generation technologies invented not to revolutionize the meat industry, but to save human lives! Our Synthblood ™ is 100% compatible with all blood types and is guaranteed to be completely free of disease or chemical contamination. No more acceptance of donor blood wondering if the donor had been indiscreet or used recreational drugs or even just been on medication or had the flu! Instead, Synthblood ™ is guaranteed to be 100% clean and pure, every time. As with all of our bioproducts for human consumption, our new blood substitute is created in a sterile environment and bioengineers must work in a ‘clean’ environment. The humanitarian Aesculapian Order clinic in Montressor is our biggest client, storing thousands of organs for human transplant in Synthblood ™ for later implantation into those who, mere decades ago, would have had to wait for months for a donor organ to become available!

And these are just the staple technologies, special derivations from time-released antibiotics to pharmaceutical producing livestock to self-cleaning ‘living’ carpets, all these things and more are available to the citizen of Earth, and it is our wish to make them as much a part of your life as they are a part of ours! Just log onto your own OpNet Nodes and look under Orgotek or Orgosoft to read more about the amazing future that is right around the corner for all of us! Thanks for your time!
