Then the moment passed and Louise relaxed.‘Did you learn your lesson? Will you stop making rude remarks about women?’He nodded, not just because t...hat’s what she wanted him to do, but also because he finally did get it. He hadn’t stood a chance in hell with her, something that he should have known before getting himself in this mess. Hadn’t she beaten him on the tennis court too?

I couldn't help it I grinned like an idiot as I thought I had. Human civilisation had by now spread to the furthest reaches of the Solar System and there were permanent settlements on the Moon, Mars and several of the Jovian and Saturnian moons.

What about the legal issues? I'm sorry Professor Jones, but you'll have to count me out, I refuse to work in such a manner." Very well Mr. Korth, we here at Bio-Tech always like to plan ahead, let's just say our experimenting makes us good at hypothesizing. Since we figured there would be a time.
