Engineered men and beasts, aided by Bees - an outlawed distributed intelligence - survived through co-operation, because there was simply no alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFast forward to today. A signal - 'For the sake of what once was. We beg you. Help.' - reaches Mars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow could they refuse?
