(Thanks also to Robert M. Schroeck for suggesting the name General Nippon
Orbital Manufacturing as a possible answer to the question "what does

genome
Definition: 
All the genetic material in the chromosomes of a particular organism; its
size is generally given as its total number of base pairs. 
	One could argue that Quincy is making a sort of in-joke, comparing his

Huh.  I'd immediately twigged on the genome/GENOM similarity, but I never
took it that far.  You may be right on the money, whether or not Quincy is
actually the one who named the zaibatsu...
