Right-Handed Wilderness

AHT 233 - Autoheterotroph 233 - a life-form so highly adaptive that it can feed on literally anything. Starting as a chemical, it can develop into a plant, and end up as a plant-animal. Under control, it is an infinitely useful, indeed vital, source of high-grade protein. And of course, extremely valuable. Given mobility, such as, for instance, a human carrier, it is infinitely dangerous. In fact; it presents the ultimate threat. This was the problem Shroud, a doctor of some 200-odd years, was called upon to solve.
