Scattered Across the Stars by J.K. Fulton (extract): Gertie grinned. ‘Best thing is, we think we’ve seen some biomorphic signs in the rocks. We’ve been breaking off bits of the Nakhla meteorites and sending them around the world for analysis, and some bods at NASA found something that looked like the paths left by bacteria.’ ‘Alien bugs?’ ‘Could be. Or just natural formations. Or maybe even my grandad’s cold germs. I told you how my grandad was working in Egypt for old man Hume when they discovered the meteorite?’ Miranda nodded. ‘That’s probably why you’ve been obsessed with the mouldy old rocks for so long.’ Gertie glowered. ‘But it makes you think, dunnit? I mean, Mars is dead, now, but it wasn’t always. What if there was primitive life there? What if there are fossils?’
