Brooks glanced over the table at IMG representative and the Minister.
- Ecology, do not forget about ecology. If we are to introduce any of these species to another worlds, we need to clearly understand the implications. Which is, perhaps, impossible in such a complex system as a planetary ecology. It is easy to unbalance, and consequences could be disastrous.
He paused for a second, with light smile on his lips.
- Of course, analyzing planetary ecologies is Planetform's bread. We could help with that if you decide to stop mining asteroids and start growing orchards.
With broad smile on his face, Brooks turns to Mattia. However, when he turns back to Minister, he's absolutely serious again.
- Well, this report tells us lots about amazing things you found useful. But I want to hear why you had to bombard your own planet to contain some overgrown vegetation? Without much success, I must add. What are those plants that cause you so much trouble? And what if a seed or two of those gets in between the ones of our precious metal trees?
