Flavio is back again, to work his super-sick Romans even more. I have complete faith in Flavio, and I need to have.

Flavio, and he better not kill us all!
Irene and Hector are her too, working with ancient domesticates. No matter how I try to get rid of the old life-stock, it keeps coming back at me one way or another.

And working the database are some visitors who are most competent at doing just that. These two PRAO-students, Simon and Lukas, are teenagers. And no matter how good a bioinformatician or programmer you are, when it comes to computers, teenagers always beats everybody else. They are in their natural habitat when they are behind a keyboard.
