[It's the middle of the day and somewhere in a city park, greenery behind her, Tefé finally ends up turning on the video feed, scowling. Under other circumstances, finding herself in a whole new universe might have been like some kind of omen, a fresh start. But the military thing sticks in her craw, and frankly, so far Tefé hasn't seen anything to indicate that, in a more planetary sense, things are much different than back home, which leaves her back with the same dilemmas as ever.]

How many of you Registered Heroes actually believe it's a good idea to basically be signing up with the military? You know, the guys that come up with new and creative ways for humans to keep killing each other, along with the rest of the planet as a hapless casualty? Do any of you even think about how completely fucked up it is being tagged like this? Knowing they've got a file on you is creepy as hell, too.

[Even though there's signs of anger on her face, she honestly sounds more pensive than anything, with one other question on her mind.]

And has anyone else found out that some things just... stopped working since they came here? Things you used to be able to do, I mean.

Not as much you'd think, honestly. Have you ever seen how mint or bamboo takes over everything? It kills everything else and just .. grows. Forever. It's such a pain in the ass to get either out of someone's yard.

They know where they all belong. Sounds to me like another case of humans trying to control nature with their yards, gardens, and fields, and just fucking it up again. [She doesn't exactly have a good feeling about coming back to the things she was told in he Green. Every plant knew its place, every one had a role... except for her father, the so-called "traitor"... and herself, now.]

Yeah, I see what you're saying. But I mean, if you let mint grow wild, it will strangle and kill every single plant until .. I don't even know. I don't even know if it would stop. I know that in the case of bamboo, at least, there are animals that eat a lot of it which helps keep it from taking over China.

[Humans really are dumb. Dumb enough that she actually has to take a moment here.]

Is this the kind of thing people actually believe?

[majorlyugh]

It's .. definitely the stuff I was taught in school, at some point. Bio, maybe?
