Okay, Tommy here. Been working in the Temba Greenhouse for a bit, trying to figure out what we can do about all the shit going on here. So many fucking plants.

So, gonna share what I've picked up so far.

In the past, I've had trouble with off-world plants that were planted out in the city rather than the greenhouses. Lots of weird growths on them, that didn't seem to be part of the normal plant. But it's only in the cities. I'm guessing that maybe there's some, I don't know, pollution or some shit that is tainting the land.

Can pollution do that?

Anyway, things in the greenhouse seem perfectly fine. Though I've found more of those little mushrooms with legs here lately. They seem to tell when I'm coming and flee. I don't get it. I didn't used to see them so much.

Anyway, is anyone good with chemistry? Maybe if it's something in the soil, we can come up with something to counter it? There's gotta be something going on here, something in the greenhouse, that could explain what the difference is. Some sort of industrial level, biological sort of 'plant growth inhibitor' or 'plant stay calm' juice or something.

What all are people seeing out there?

Oh, by the way, if you're in trouble, try and ping me. I'm definitely slowed down by shit in the city, but I've got the energy for some explosions in an emergency and that can help.

So, what other knowledge have people gathered? Because fuck, I don't wanna live in the worst play at overgrown horror-terror jungle. It's just not fun.

As his older brother, I’m not exactly going to send him off alone where it might be unsafe. And if I don’t go, then I can’t see it.

[There it is. Dustin balks at his tablet screen; what exactly would someone like Tommy do with that information? Maybe he's just curious? What a weird request.]

I'm assuming he can't teleport you there at the same time.

[Why can't knowing what the mural had on it be worth it? knowledge for knowledge sake or something.]

I suppose he could.

[long pause]

Then it sounds like you've solved your own problem.

[doubled_speed]

Nah, not really. I don't want him to, you know, get hurt because of me. That's not what you let family do.

[Dustin types out 'I wouldn't know,' stares at it for a minute, deletes it and closes the conversation. This is getting way too sentimental for his tastes.]
