The Director of Operations for Universal Biotech arrived two hours earlier than usual this morning. He couldn’t get the phrase, be careful what you wish for, out of his mind.

Walking from his car, he held the briefcase handle a little tighter than usual. The field tests were identical in result with what Jason had predicted. Schimmel now had in his possession, information which could turn the biotech world on its head. Hell, this could turn the entire world on its head. The ability to grow crops under almost any conditions, engineering their characteristics at will…the implications were mind boggling. He still could hardly believe it himself.

After the meeting with Jason two months ago, Schimmel had implemented several changes in the assignment of personal to the field tests. By tactically limiting their involvement he had kept the researchers in the dark. While they individually knew how successful their particular areas of the testing had been, for any one of them to understand the true scope of this thing would have been effectively impossible. The fact that these results were somewhat preliminary also helped. While the full results would not become available for another several months, Schimmel knew without doubt what they would show.

It was time for another talk. Jason LaCost was, I.Q. wise, the smartest man Schimmel had ever known. His knowledge of how the world worked, however, was limited. Walking through the doors to his office, the big man thought, Its time he went to school on that one.
