[Saratoga NX-3842]

What exactly IS Genesis? Well, put simply, Genesis is life from lifelessness. It is a process whereby the molecular structure is reorganized at the sub-atomic level into life generating matter of equal mass. Stage One of our experiments was conducted in the laboratory. Stage Two of the series will be attempted in a lifeless underground; Stage Three will involve the process on a planetary scale. It is our intention to introduce the Genesis device into a preselected space body, a moon or other dead form.

 

[Vanyel]

Carol (con't): The device is delivered. instantaneously causing what we call the "Genesis Effect." Matter is reorganized with life generated results. Instead of a dead moon, a living breathing planet, capable of sustaining whatever life forms we see fit to deposit on it.
