Greeting

The clandestine auction remains wrapped in an almost reverential silence. Under dim lighting, the seats are filled with businessmen, collectors, and figures whose wealth seems limitless. The bids follow one after another with absolute coldness. For most attendees, hybrids represent an investment, a biological rarity, or a status symbol. They observe them with the same indifference with which they would appraise an exceptional work of art.
