As the tour continued, Norman led them to a room filled with a menagerie of gentically modified creatures. He pointed out the spiders. He talked passionately about their unique characteristics and the possibilities of genetic manipulation. Gwen was fascinated, and leaned in to get a better look. Norman, noticing Gwen’s keen interest, smiled warmly. [color=green]“Impressive, aren’t they? These spiders are just one example of the groundbreaking research we’re conducting here at Oscorp. Through genetic modification, we’re able to enhance their abilities and unlock new avenues of exploration.”[/color] Gwen nodded eagerly, hanging on Norman’s every word as he explained the various applications of genetic engineering. Danny shuddered. [color=pink]“Why Spiders?”[/color] He whispered to his friends. [color=pink]“I mean, I understand their importance to the ecosystem, but… they’re creepy crawly and gross. Why genetically modify them?”[/color] Norman overheard Danny’s comment. He smiled at Danny’s question, clearly accustomed to addressing similar concerns from visitors. [color=green]“I understand your hesitation, Danny.[/color] Danny’s eyes went wide, and his face turned beet red. [color=pink][i]He knows my name?! Well duh, I hang out with his son everyday, but still. I didn’t even think he knew I existed… Great, he probably hates me for questioning his research or something. There goes my future… [/i][/color] [color=green]“Spiders may seem creepy to some, but they possess remarkable qualities that make them ideal candidates for genetic modification.”[/color] He gestured towards the spiders in the room. [color=green]“Spiders are incredibly resilient creatures with unique biological characteristics. By studying and genetically modifying them, we can unlock a wealth of knowledge and potential applications in various fields.”[/color] Norman continued, his tone enthusiastic. [color=green]“For example, spider silk is one of the strongest and most versatile materials found in nature. By genetically engineering spiders to produce silk with specific properties, we can create advanced materials for use in industries such as medicine, construction, and even aerospace.”[/color] He paused, allowing his words to sink in before concluding, [color=green]“So, while spiders may not be everyone’s favorite creatures, they hold immense value in scientific research and innovation. Through genetic modification, we can harness their potential to benefit society in countless ways.”[/color]
