Louie Pasture[1] was a lab technician with the Snarre'i self-protection agency residing in Latimer on Lacanth C.

Investigator Miss Murple brought Pasture a tissue sample from a human child that was suspected to have been the victim of a hoxbombing. Pasture was relieved to see that the sample was more than sufficient to analyze. After some waiting, the tests revealed that the hoxbomb was a "Scrambled Egg 7", one of the oldest models of hoxbomb. Louis confirmed for Miss Murple that it was a simple enough weapon for even humans to build.[2]
