Anna garnered more information from Heas. Anna found out from Heas, the suspect delivery bomber’s name was Gaver Zauger. A famous defense lawyer. Some of the information Anna discreetly wormed out of Heas or what he chose to give up, proved pertinent and some of it was thought at first to be irrelevant – or so she thought!

Slicing effortlessly through the void just outside the gravitational signature of the Throth Star system, the giant monopolic engines of the Sentinel Class 7b NOVA destroyer, operated smoothly in the third stage propulsion level, while powering up to the 2^nd quartile of acceleration. The access code for more power to the forward engines allowing an increase in the ship’s speed, raced through the instrumentation on the command bridge, in a zillionth of one second, with the touch of a button. This ship. The pride of the 22^nd Consortium Triumvirate’s Imperial Fleet Forces eased so sweetly, into the next propulsion stage, that when the commander relinquished the helm to the first mate, all he could do was smile.

Walking along with his young aid Themason, the pair proceeded to the Captain’s second interview of the day. The commander of this NOVA destroyer was Captain Jjonz Jjonz Maeconezs. He is the second captain of this four year old ship commissioned and named the “Blue Sun”. Preparing for other assessment session, “Captain Mac” as he was fondly called, happily pondered what type of synthetic biology questions and or operational inquiries, would he be asked to comment on regarding this second portion the of 15^th inspection of Anna 7.

The continuing mission success of the Anna 7 project hinged on periodic assessment and inspections. Inspection # 15 is an unscheduled surprise field inspection according to the contractual agreement between the client, which is the 22^nd Consortium Triumvirate Imperial Armed Forces and the contract provider of this said product, that is Anna 7 - is a company from the planet Setarip. Setarip is the home of the 22^nd CT’s, foremost intergalactic military contractor corporation, the Uasenirocu Factor Concern. Initiated by enforceable language in the contract, the Imperial Armed Forces sent the first segment of the dual inspection team, from the Consortium’s APEX Energies Regulatory Commission.

The mission of the whole team of specialist inspectors, evaluate two highly volatile features of Anna 7’s daily functions. First, is her synthetic biological body challenges and nano tech driven genetic engineering. Second, evaluate the astounding applications afforded her through her sources of energy, which is derived from biomass gasification, aided by the supercritical water pumped throughout all circulatory systems in her body. Anna 7 is a walking, talking hydrogen reactor with extraordinary containment devices. She is empowered with programmed reasoners designed, purposefully for her own self preservation, allowing Anna weaponry preferences. As she produces what was formerly known as unstable forms of hydrogen, in the scientific community at one time, into viable energy options, which the APEX Energies Regulatory Commission must specify to be functioning properly at acceptable levels. Anna utilizes nanotechnology–based wire arrays of free standing super-silica substrates, found throughout her complicated body. These engineered substrates with other innovative green chemistry components, propel her digestive system and intestinal tracts, where she generates power for her body, like all animals have done since the beginning of time. Anna 7 possesses the ability to be self-sustaining and definitely, a mentally self aware - 47.7 % humanoid being.

Long ago, the BioSynSafe Accord of 5009, convened on planet Ogajha at the city of Xurich. This glorious city of Xurich, hosted this gathering of experts, where education and research of all disciplines of academic study vigorously flourished for over three Consortium centuries. These scholars and scientist presented technical presentations with their policy analysts, addressing ethical issues of safety and security associated with synthetic biology. The researchers elaborated on concerns encompassing related fields such as genome design and construction, functional genetic circuits in cells and micro organisms, with product synthesis and applied protein design. The deliberation and policies set forth at this historical assemblage is still the benchmark by which the 22^nd Consortium Triumvirate litigates any synthetic biological issues. With this sound approach to synthetic biology, all decisions regarding risk assessment, the facilitation of socially acceptable development, prohibition of potentially dangerous experiments and product oversight - the Accord of 5009, is the basis from which all law and amendments on this subject are enforced throughout the galactic empire.

Captain Mac ambled along just outside the door to the conference room, where the biotech inspection specialist waited to interview him. Letting his aid know that Mac would meet him in the officers’ mess later. The commander walked in. The inspectors promptly stood up from their computer sets and worksheets acknowledging the presence of the ship’s captain. Mac motioned for them to take their seats. He assumed the seat, at the head of the table for him. The session began.

Mac wondered how long will this session with the inspectors take? Did someone brief these inspectors about his relationship with Anna 6?
