BioNeering was a Sphinxian company founded not long after the planet's first settlement by humans. Its insignia was a double-helix super-imposed on a picketwood tree. A research project into the biochemistry of picket wood by Dr. Muriel Ubel resulted in a biological catastrophe. In an attempt to cover up the disaster, Dr. Ubel murdered several people who worked for the company. (HHA2.1: TS)
