The door of the office was opened wide to the unexpected one and a man entered
nearly in the room running and he was arrested to the writing desk and he
supported the palms of the hands opened on the shelf in front of himself in
order to support his abrupt arrest and in order to refrain the inertial force
that still pushed him in ahead. There was a moment of total quiet, then the
man made a strange noise with the mouth, sucking in the air fastly, like if
he was remained for a long time without breathing, and nearly shouted: " Boss,
we have a big problem to the Hive. The Larvae of Sector 1, Cross-sections 2, 3
and 4, are behaved in an anomalous way. We d'not succeed in disconnecting them
from the nutritional ganglia of their Cells. That's we cannot make be born
them. Until now every our attempt of biological, cybernetic and electronic
nature in order to bypass this problem and in order to put into effect the
final process of their aided procreation has not get anything. A thing never
succeeded before! ". The man behind the writing desk slowly raised the head,
surmounted from a not indifferent mass of white hair, from the papers he was
examining before the irruption, until intercrossing the look of who it was of
forehead. An equally candid and flowing beard framed the chubby face of a
stout man. The aspect of the man could have defined good-natured without some
doubt, but not in that moment. A violent flush was replaced to the light
naturally rose-colored colouring of his face and his blue eyes darkened in a
steel-grayl, while his eyebrows were bent in a position that it did not
promise nothing good. Then, like a thunder, its powerful voice filled up the
room: "Professor Albani! You cannot absolutely rush here within in this way,
without my secretary announcing you ! And then, you must stop to use that
ignoble slang expressions of which ago more and more you use and that a
scientist of your reputation is dishonourable of one. I am not your "Boss",
but the Professor Carpitelli, genetist of world-wide reputation! "Hive", as
you define our Project, is a term without some meant. The correct name is
"Aeacus Project", the "Cells" are "Biomecanic Artificial Wombs" and the
corrected definition of "Larvae" is "Aided Unborn Children" or "Fetuses"!
I'm astonished that a scientist of your intelligence, a Nobel prize winner for
Biochemistry, is obstinate to express himself in a way so coarse and little
scientific !!".
