Roberta 'Bobbie' W. Draper : What's up?
Amos Burton : I'm not sure. Someone sent me something.
Roberta 'Bobbie' W. Draper : Could you be more vague? Looks like it was all routed through anonymous relays.
Amos Burton : Somebody's trying hard not to leave any tracks.
Roberta 'Bobbie' W. Draper : Hmm.
Prax : Amos. I hope this finds you well. Sorry, that was trite.
Roberta 'Bobbie' W. Draper : That's the plant guy.
Amos Burton : Prax.
Prax : I know you're in the middle of a war. The Free Navy shot a researcher in my lab today. They said she was a spy. Her name was Karvonides. For the past year, we were working on ways to improve crop yields for food grown in the Belt. Karvonides was developing a new strain of yeast with a robust proofing polymerase modified with organelles that mimic the Protomolecule's harvesting structures. It produces a complete digestible protein with micronutrient uptake comparable to unmodified soy.
Amos Burton : Give him a second. He'll get around to it.
Prax : That probably didn't make any sense to you. This yeast could create massive amounts of food out of a little more than spare carbon dioxide and waste energy. You know people with power. Please get this data to them. I think that's what Karvonides was trying to do. Earth could use it now. Don't worry about me or Mei or the rest of us. I can take care of them. I miss you, my friend. I hope this helps.
Amos Burton : He's got a whole new family now. There's nothing in this for him. He's just a good guy.
Roberta 'Bobbie' W. Draper : That's what it always takes.
Amos Burton : If Prax thinks it's important, then it is. Chrissie'll know what to do with it.
Roberta 'Bobbie' W. Draper : The Old Lady really loves it when you call her that.
Amos Burton : At least I say it to her face.

Amos Burton : I never looked.
