Engineer Gao nodded and examined him with interest. It wasn't entirely because he had brought him the corpse. More importantly, he was a Tier Two Master of Mutant Research—and one specializing in plants.

Because of Machine-Cracked Planet's radiation environment, the research profession of biologist had emerged. Even among biologists, however, most specialized in the study of irradiated beast bloodlines. Experts researching irradiated plants were rare; after all, on Machine-Cracked Planet, the number of irradiated plants above Grade B was far lower than that of irradiated lifeforms.
