Chapter 1
Sweet, fresh morning air filled his lungs as he took a long breath, savored it for a moment, and exhaled. He then looked in splendor at one of his tremendous gardens.
Dr. Evan Roberts, a prominent member of Starfleet's agricultural department relished in his assignment on Auxo 7, a planet found to contain a certain unusual compound not found naturally anywhere else. His garden was not only vast, but also the size of each plant brought amazement to everyone. A variety of fruits and vegetables, each fruiting body larger than imaginable: carrots the size of one's arm, tomatoes the size of one's head, and so on. Dr. Roberts, a tall, trim, light-hared man in his mid 50's, devoted his entire life to his work. Now, on Auxo 7, he discovered the key to a new wave of food growth, a way to feed an entire planet for a fraction of the time and costs for present, a way to end famine on planets where it, unfortunately, still exists and a way to ensure that it would never happen everywhere else.
"Dr. Roberts, a message from our wonderful Admiral McKenzie is waiting for you." A young male lab technician disrupted his peace, thus ending his splendid morning. The dear admiral was the head of Starfleet's Department of Agriculture and the only person in the entire universe that could take away Dr. Roberts' beaming smile. The technician quickly disappeared into the lab, a huge structure with the main wall composed of nothing but transparent aluminum. It made the place more pleasant to work in; Dr. Roberts enjoyed such simplicities as the sun shining in, reflecting off the stuffy flasks, tubes and beakers. Dr. Roberts finally turned towards the lab to face his doom.
