Even as Felwinter spoke, trying to direct Tony's attention, Tony was muttering, "Is it symbolic, the Agrii have literally been removed?," but by the time Felwinter was done he seemed like he might be able to focus on the plant part.

"Okay," he accepted for now, hand out flat to work from that foundation and construct the story. "Then, here, they're here at the centre, they're doing their plant thing, everything's great. Then there are Agrii, and the city gets built--and it's not an evolution, they're literally put here, like the Graq at the other end of the train. And like the Graq, they're also taken away, gone, and the plants are still here, doing their thing. Are they also gone now, these guys, taking care of the plants?"
