Susan Martino emerged from a highly migratory gene-pool and was thus thrust into genetic activism at an early age.  She performed heroic feats of courage and strength during the Nixon repression.

In 1986 she organized a publishing company, Spaceseed, which transmitted the most important genetic signals of the time.  Under her energetic direction the Spaceseed Company became the largest and most profitable publishing house on the planet.

The Pynchon Manuscript is Smuggled to a Prisoner
by Susan Martino

By the second day of his incarceration in the "hole" I2 asked for reading material.  An hour later he heard the footsteps of the guard, the clank of the padlock and the rasp of the metal slot being opened.  He passively accepted a book which was pushed through the slot; it was entitled Gravity's Rainbow.  The author was Thomas Pynchon.  One quick glance sufficed for him to understand that the book was an important I2 signal.  He lay on the bed and read for 12 hours until the lights were turned off.  The next morning he woke at sunrise and read for 15 hours.  The following morning he finished the first reading, promptly turned back to page one and spent two days re-reading and annotating.  During the subsequent week, he decoded, outlined and charted the narrative.  Every character in Gravity's Rainbow is either an operative working for a Psycho-political hive-bureaucracy or an Independent Intelligence Agent (Out-Caste) working counter to the hive-bureaucracy.

COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE AGENCY REPORT

Date: January, 1972
Country: Montana-Crans, Switzerland
Subject: PRESSING HIS SEX AND DANGER BUTTONS
Classification: TOP SECRET

The meeting with Maria (DNA: 4; CNS: 10-Romantic Gemini from Argentina) takes place in the summit restaurant.  As per our script.

The Professor and Craig slide off the T-bar to the restaurant door, kick off their skis, stack them in the rack, and amble up metal stairs to the restaurant.  Their faces glow with sunny mountain vigor.

The Philosopher's espionage eye immediately picks up our two Agents in the crowded restaurant.  Our photographer, camera strung around his neck, is waving hello.  Subject's emergency circuits flash warning.  The Professor is legal but incognito in Switzerland.  Michel has warned him that the police can protect him from extradition from the country but not from expulsion from a canton.  He knows that if there is too much publicity, Mastronardi cannot head-off the Swiss xenophobic, right-wing politicians.

The other signal comes from the corner of the restaurant where our Beautiful black-haired Agent sits beaming Hormonal Invitation.  He stops in his tracks and receives her Circuit Four and Five messages.  Mating and Rapture.  The multi-buzz was designed by our Psych-control Staff to press his Sex and Danger Buttons.  He has been programmed to believe that Risk is the eternal concomitant of the fully utilized brain.

(The following conversation is taped.)

"Who is the slim Sophia Loren?"

"I don't know her name," says Craig.  "She hangs out with the Latin-chic set.  I've seen her dancing at the clubs."

"With whom is she sitting?"

"They're rich Mexicans, spoiled sons of the Mexico City aristocracy.  The short one with a mustache, Pedro, his father owns a big newspaper.  The tall, good-looking dude, his family is big industrialist.  They go to European schools and hang around the smart spots.  They ski like matadors.  Weird macho scene.  The females don't ski at all.  They come up on the cable cars and spend the day here in the restaurant chattering and fluttering and giggling and playing simple-minded card games, shrieking, Uno! Dos! Tres! Cuatro!  I don't think they can count beyond four."

"You don't seem to like your southern cousins," says the Professor.

"They just don't make it here.  Socially I mean.  The Brazilians and Venezuelans do.  They hang out at Gstaad and St. Moritz.  Their women have some class.  Play backgammon and ski and conduct adulteries with finesse.  But the Mexicans strut around getting into barroom brawls.  The South Americans are European really.  But the Mexicans seem to have a peasant morality.  Machismo.  That girl isn't Mexican.  I could never figure out why she runs with them.  She's got a different style."

"Let's go over and find out.  Who is the photographer?"

"He's from a local paper down in the valley," says Craig.  "He's cool.  Smokes grass.  Likes the Stones.  Is that enough to pass his security check?"

(End of tape.)

The Professor walks across the restaurant, waving the photographer to follow.  She smiles and makes room for him to sit next to her.  To our delight, the cameraman was allowed to record the seating.  (See attached photos.)

She calls herself Maria and says she is Brazilian.  They arrange to meet that night at Le Sporting.

The club is her turf.  Males line up along the bar, wave and blow kisses as she passes by.  The Fugitive Doctor charged with sparkling South American energy dances with dervish smoothness.

She comes back to the chalet and throws his hashish in the fire.  "I can make you feel better than that," she says with passion.  He gives her a Tantric Art book.  For two nights they play at seduction and then she classically takes him as Her Lover.

(AS PER OUR SCRIPT!!  WE HAVE INFILTRATED HIS BED ROOM!)

The first assumption to make (however treasonous to your religious past) is this:

EVOLUTION
has made no mistakes!

It is all unfolding perfectly according to the genetic plan.  It is the myopic arrogance of Dom-Species that leads us to judge the previous or the present or the next stage as better or worse.

THE REDEMPTIVE AGENT

TERRESTRIAL THEOLOGIANS ALWAYS ENDOWED THE GREAT REDEMPTIVE AGENTS -- BUDDHA, CHRIST, KRISHNA -- WITH SUPER-NATURAL AND OTHER-WORLDLY POWERS WHICH SEPARATE THEM IN TIME AND POTENCY FROM THE HIVE REALITY.  ("SUPERNATURAL" IS JARGON TO DESCRIBE ANYTHING BEYOND HIVE-PLATITUDE.)

THE TASK OF THE EVOLUTIONARY AGENT IS TO PRE-FABRICATE THE FUTURE, TO BUILD NEW HIVES, TO CUSTOM MAKE PLAN-ITS, TO TEACH SCIENTIFIC MASTERY OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AS AN INSTRUMENT TO DECODE ATOMIC, MOLECULAR AND SUB-NUCLEAR PROCESSES SO AS TO ATTAIN IMMORTALITY, CLONING, AND EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL EXISTENCE.
