Gene Mapper
“The apron was marked with green and white lines that looked like fresh paint. To my still-sleepy eyes—I was out from the takeoff roll until just before landing—they looked almost too fresh.
These pristine markings on the flight apron were another achievement of genetic engineering: sustainable cement excreted by designed coral. They were unmarked even after being scuffed all day by shoes and vehicle tires. Mother Mekong used the same technology to get their Active Ground Cover certification. The terrestrial coral digested air pollutants and waste stuck to the concrete, keeping the apron and its markings spotless.
I looked more closely at the unnaturally vivid markings and remembered the propaganda images I’d seen of small animals being “eaten” by “carnivorous” pavement. Nature addicts hated this kind of engineering.
The sharply defined lettering and details expressed by the coral looked classier than the huge logos I mapped onto grass species.
