It is for these reasons that BEST Genetics decided to investigate genetically engineering various types of bugs. They put thousands of man hours and a great deal of capital into creating more advanced bugs. Everything was on track for some major breakthroughs; that is, until yesterday. The containment area on three different habitats failed and some genetically engineered flies, cockroaches, and termites escaped from the laboratory. This could be catastrophic for not only BEST Genetics, but for the environment at large. When introducing a new organism into an environment, there may be unanticipated side effects that could drastically affect human health and the surrounding ecosystem. Companies that have not listened to these warnings have been fined and sued. Therefore, it is imperative that BEST Genetics captures and controls these bugs as quickly and safely as possible.
