sabotage-and-security

This chapter juxtaposes two scenes: a laboratory where scientists discuss advanced in vivo plasmid gene repair technology demonstrated by long-lived mice, and a tense incident at the bottom of a massive Martian shaft where a sabotage attempt nearly causes fatal harm to workers. The narrative explores the scale and danger of Martian industrial operations, the fragility of human endeavors on Mars, and the revolutionary potential of biotechnological advances.
