“He was the best biologist that they could expect in that strip - TopicsExpress



          

“He was the best biologist that they could expect in that strip of paradise, in the polynesian Island of Wallis: he immersed himself for many hours, looking for those strange sources of lights that the fishermen (still terrified) had reported enlightening the seabed every night, killing thousands of fishes that came up to the surface gasping, and without the eyeballs. Perhaps they were algae: oh, yes, sure, they were seaweeds, a very rare species of seaweeds, able to absorb the hydrocarbons from the ocean floor and to release them suddenly in the form of energy. Indeed, who, better than him, knew the plants and the algae? It had to be so, sure! Besides, heck, it could not be a collective hallucination, because in one of those damn nights fishing together with them, three days before, there was also him: Mattew Hamilton, professor of comparative Biology at the Georgetown University in Washington D.C.. And in that damn night, the sea smelled of death: the sea smelled of Redblood… “ (Badroots, Cattive Radici, IV chapter “Redblood Invasion”, by the Greenfighter’Saga) “Era il miglior biologo che ci si poteva attendere in quel lembo di paradiso, nell’isola polinesiana di Wallis: si immergeva per molte ore alla ricerca di quelle stranissime fonti di luce che i pescatori (ancora terrorizzati) avevano riferito illuminare i fondali marini ogni notte, uccidendo migliaia di pesci che salivano a galla boccheggianti, e privi dei bulbi oculari. Forse si trattava di alghe: ma sì, certo, si trattava alghe marine, di una specie molto rara, in grado di assorbire gli idrocarburi dai fondali oceanici e di liberarli improvvisamente sotto forma di energia. Del resto, chi, meglio di lui, conosceva le piante e le alghe? Doveva essere sicuramente così! E poi, caspita, non poteva trattarsi di un’allucinazione collettiva, perché una di quelle maledette notti, a pescare con loro, tre giorni prima, c’era anche lui: Mattew Hamilton, professore di Biologia comparata alla Georgetown University di Washington D.C.. E in quella maledetta notte, il mare puzzava di morte: puzzava di Sanguerosso…” (Badroots, Cattive Radici,, IV chapter “Redblood Invasion”, by the Greenfighter’Saga)
