Chapter 21 Genetic Screening

Juan, who was silently eating a vegetable salad, couldn't help but interject: "What does the assassin's personal behavior have to do with other genetically contaminated humans?" ”

Soma said in absolute certainty: "It is well known that there is no creature more law-abiding and peace-loving than humans!"

"Those humanoids are ignorant and violent, and humans who are genetically tainted with them can also become ignorant and violent.

"Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between genetically contaminated humans and purebred humans, and strengthen control, which is the best way to prevent similar incidents from happening again!"

Soma's words are just his personal opinion.

But fortunately, or unfortunately, it became a reality.

In the afternoon of the second day after dinner, Soma, the head of the development station, and Berner, the navigator, received orders from their superiors from different sources.

Soma's voice echoed through the radio in the Pioneer Station building: "This morning, the parliament voted to approve the proposal of the private physician Carl Brandt to promulgate the Scientific Register of Serious Hereditary and Congenital Diseases.

"According to the system, the alliance ZF requires all planets to carry out comprehensive genetic screening in accordance with the law."

Meanwhile, at the bar, Bernard told Juan, "The authorities instructed that all Starships must have their occupants genetically screened before takeoff." ”

Soma on the radio: "This screening is not mandatory, but voluntary, led by the Ministry of Justice, and the planetary security brigades are responsible for maintaining order, and all humans are asked to actively cooperate."

"This is an ordinary screening, just to get to the bottom of it, and everyone should not have any resistance, and the alliance ZF made it clear that the screening results will not have any impact on those who fail to pass the screening."

Berner at the bar: "The company rules that people who have not undergone genetic screening, or who have failed to pass the screening, are not allowed to fly on starships. ”

Juan looked at Bernard in surprise: "Not allowed to ride a starship?" What about those who go far away?

"I'll give you an example, just to make an analogy, and I don't mean to say who:

"If a human with humanoid genes in his body travels from the main planet to an alien planet, then according to the regulations, is he not allowed to take the spaceship back?"

Berner nodded, "Yes, he won't be able to board the ship because he can't pass the screening." ”

Juan's eyes widened: "This is ridiculous! This tourist's home is on the main planet, and his household registration is also on the main planet, if he is not allowed to go back, will he be allowed to wander on the alien planet all the time? ”

Berner: "I didn't say I wouldn't let him go back, I just said I couldn't take a starship." ”

Juan was a little angry: "What's the difference?!" Is there any way to cross the stars other than by taking a starship?! ”

Berner spread his hands: "What's the use of you yelling at me?" Regulations are regulations, not to mention that the company's regulations are not only for tourists, but also for flight attendants.

"You must know that we flight attendants have been shuttling to various planets all year round, and it is inevitable that we will not be able to bear the loneliness and have some relationship with the local humanoids.

"When safety measures are not in place, some people have been infected with humanoid genes, and now these flight attendants are also excluded from interstellar travel."

Juan wondered: "Then these flight attendants, if they are not on the main planet now and are sailing to an alien planet, do you want them to stay on an alien planet?" ”

Berner replied expressionlessly: "Yes, the company stipulates that once a flight attendant is found to be unqualified in genetic screening, he will be fired on the spot." ”

At this time, Soma's voice echoed through the radio in the building: "Today's screening is maintained by the security team to ensure that all people participate voluntarily. Jack, come to me. ”

Juan took a sip of the crystal clear Cointreau Liqueur, feeling the bitterness of orange peel permeate his mouth:

"It's terrible to be expelled on the spot, at least they should be allowed to go back on a spaceship, otherwise how will they live on an alien planet?"

Berner took a sip of Absolut vodka from his glass and slammed the thick-bottomed cup on the bar:

"Boarding is definitely not allowed, the rules are very clear.

As for the rest, the company didn't say, but since they were fired, according to the company's usual practice, it didn't care what happened to them.

"Executives often say that the company is not engaged in charity, and the company has no obligation to take care of people who have nothing to do with the company."

Juan asked with a hint of luck: "If there are flight attendants who are not willing to be screened or are not screened, can they return to the main star?" ”

Berner shook his head: "Impossible, I got accurate information, the main star's spaceship harbor has activated the strictest inspection system, and it is said that there are people from the Ministry of Justice stationed there."

"Everyone who gets off the ship, whether it's a passenger or a flight attendant, doesn't miss a single one, and all of them have to be screened again.

"I've heard that once an anomaly is discovered, the entire spaceship will be pulled away, and the company will be punished."

"Pull away? Pull where? ”

"I don't know, who can say for sure what hasn't happened yet?"

Hu An stroked the green hair on his head, and waited anxiously for the scheduled screening.

But no one knocked on the door of his room.

When it was time for dinner, Juan ran into Bernard again in the restaurant.

Bernard was in a good mood, and he pointed to the green hair on Juan's head and said, "You know what? I used to doubt you. ”

Juan's chest tightened, and he pretended to be calm: "Doubt me? What do I have to doubt? ”

"Genetic contamination, your hair looks weird, but I was wrong, I'm sorry."

Juan squeezed out a stiff smile: "My hair is dyed, dyed with henna and indigo with the sap of the star ring rich in phosphidetrihydrogen, all of which are natural pigments, and have nothing to do with humanoid genes." ”

Juan deliberately ignored the "secret recipe", even though it had nothing to do with him.

"Of course, of course, the latest and greatest hairstyle!"

The two of them began to eat and drink.

After a while, Juan held up the glass containing the pale yellow apple sparkling wine and asked casually, "Then how are you sure I'm normal?" ”

Berner squirted flesh foam and said, "Soma has announced, there are no anomalies in the screening of all humans on the beautiful planet. ”

Juan was stunned, he was sure he hadn't been screened.

He took a sip of apple sparkling wine without revealing a trace, letting the sour taste spread between his tongue and teeth.

Then Juan quipped: "That's good news, to be honest, I was worried about you, after all, you are picking up girls everywhere, and you may be hit by it one time." ”

Bernard shook his head and said, "I haven't passed the customs yet, our spaceship crew is scheduled to be screened tomorrow morning, and I'm also a little worried, so tonight's tryst has been canceled." ”

Juan's pupils shrank, and he felt that he had found the reason why no one was looking for him for all the genetic screening.
