La Tierra en Miniatura is successfully constructed, a marvel of engineering to make any botanist faint. It contains 3 general botany sections, and 1 Tanami-Microclimate Replicator, a section used exclusively to create and test hyperpersisant produce; progress has begun on the invention of the Martian Blood Lime, a revised version of the 2004 crop of similar name.
