Carol: "What exactly is Genesis? Well, put simply, Genesis is life from
lifelessness. It is a process whereby molecular structure is reorganized at
the subatomic level into life-generating matter of equal mass. Stage One of
our experiments was conducted in a 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 area of a lifeless space body, a moon or other dead form.
The device is delivered, instanteously causing what we call the 'Genesis
Effect'. Matter is reorganized with life-generating results. Instead of a
dead moon, a living, breathing planet capable of supporting whatever we see
fit to deposit on it."
Spock: "Fascinating."
