Joe (Natural Selection)

Joe, a strong man of middle years, led a birdwatching society's expedition in the Los Angeles area. Accompanying the group was Mullnor, a Hripirt screener. Joe was a competent man who was able to repair a team member's broken binoculars. Although Mullnor's New York City colleague Delip thought Joe would make a productive visitor to the Hripirt homeworld, Mullnor did not see it that way. Mullnor chose Agnes, the secretary of Joe's group.
