I'm a botanist and chemist. Has anyone begun a catalog of local plant life? If not, I'll try and start one. If you've had weird plant experiences plse descrb. and lpet me know.

If you'd like to compare notes, I've been studying the plants here too.

[houmaprotector]

I'd appreciate that. I'm feeling a bit disconnected here and I'd like to sink my roots into the local biomes.

One of the other scientists said that there was a terraformed area? How far does it go out?

[mediumhoodie]

I don't know. I have been starting close by and haven't explored that far.

[She isn't sure what terraformed area he's talking about.]

Unless you mean the greenhouse but that's only a small building.
I have notes about different wildlife and plans.
I know of a flower that has electricity in it though I have yet to figure out how it grows.

[houmaprotector]

People are telling me about this electric plant, but the idea of a plant doling out shocks is impossible. They can conduct electricity, they can't actually use it to defend themselves...

If we meet can you take me to it? This electric flower?

[mediumhoodie]

We'd have to find it but I know where we can look.

The plant can be dangerous so it's best to be careful around it.

[notsoangry]

I'm not a botanist, but I am a chemist. I'd be happy to help out too.

[houmaprotector]

Excellent.

I could use the help. My hands are too big to use most lab equipment.

[notsoangry]

Perfect, I have very good penmanship too for notes.

[houmaprotector]

...I've missed working in a lab. Thank you.

Maybe with Stark's help we could pool resources. Having a place where people can create compounds could be beneficial to anyone with medical training.

[notsoangry]

It's been awhile for me too. It was always where I was happiest, working on a project.

That's a great idea!

[unraisehell]

Literally no scientific experience but I've been to Burning Man, if you want a guinea pig for "weird plant experiences."

[houmaprotector]

Medical and Dietary concerns first but. For my notes however Do you prefer cannabis, Salvia, or Ayahuasca?

[markwatney]

I've got detailed notes, if you want to stop by

[houmaprotector]

...Where are you? Or we could meet? Meeting might be easier. I tend to do a bit better outdoors.

[markwatney]

I'm in the dark green house, across the street and 2 down past the town hall
Can't miss it, it's the one with all the plants on the porch and in the yard
Or just ask anybody where's Mark's house, or the free weed house
We can keep it outside, but if you come by I can show you actual specimens in addition to the notes
Would be glad to have the input

Thread?

[houmaprotector]

Fair warning. I'm a bit of a surprise to look at.

Sure!

[markwatney]

So I've heard. It's a small village. I'm more likely to geek out than be too shocked.
Hopefully I don't embarrass myself too much.

blue lilies are electric and clematis chokes you out

[houmaprotector]

Electwphgic?

[Stupid stupid stupid-]

Plants can't carry an electrical charge.

[oorah]

you're the one who asked man

they act like a lightning rod and if you touch them it charges you up - gives you taser powers for a day. also shorts out your comm.

clematis puts you in a dream state so they can strangle you.

[houmaprotector]

...they can conduct electricity but not in any substantial amount.

That sounds more plant like. This affects humans? Men your size?

[morphogenia]

No, but I love projects! Can I help?

[houmaprotector]

Of course you can. I need help using whatever tools the group can scrounge up.

I can also teach you how to forage.

[morphogenia]

Big yes to both! I'm Kamala Khan and I'd be happy to help you! I love learning new skills. It goes with my love of projects.

[He wasn't the best teacher (just ask Woodrue.) but he liked teaching. As the avatar of the green he's a warrior rather then an instructor. He can't even access his predecessor who respected the green. Taught people about it.

Think. Think Alec.]

My name is Alec. I'm a Botanist.

I've spoken to a few others but if you'd like a foraging lesson pick a day and I'll meet you at the edge of the woods. You can bring a friend or two if you'd like.
