I take it by all your reactions that this is a rare and unusual occurrence.

Shame. I feel we could all benefit from a few words of wisdom from those outside of our reenforced bubble.

Very well: speak your mind. Lt. Braca, if you can hear me: report.

I would... say please.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Of course.

Please.

[madeofplants]

I have... no wisdom for you. I do not... even know... who you are.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Do you know why you are here?

[madeofplants]

I am... in my swamp. You are... an image... in a pond.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Am I?

It's curious how the Barge likes to transmit images.

Tell me, what sort of creature is your species? Plant-based, like the Delvians?

[madeofplants]

I am... of the Earth. I speak to... the green... and it is... a part of me.

[ So... yes? ]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Of Earth? Or of the earth?

[madeofplants]

Of... the earth. All... plant life... is known to me.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

And what do they call you?

[madeofplants]

Swamp Thing.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Very descriptive.

[madeofplants]

Humans... fear me. They think I am... a monster.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

But you beg to differ.

[madeofplants]

They have... nothing to fear... if they do not... harm the swamp... or overstep... their bounds.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

From the few humans I have met, I can declare that this is a most unlikely proposal.

[madeofplants]

There have... been... disagreements. Many... disagreements.

I am... content... in my swamp.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Yet others would not have you be content.

[madeofplants]

They... will forget... in time.

[ I mean it's a monster living in the middle of a swamp. Really. Urban legend stuff. ]

[keeps_a_cool_head]

If you believe so. I hope for your sake you are right.

[madeofplants]

It is... the way of man... to take things... for granted. My swamp... is no exception.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

Not just men. Species prone to dominate.

[madeofplants]

It is... all the same... to me. I wish only... to be left... in peace.

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I'm afraid that's a decision quite out of your hands.

[madeofplants]

I will... defend my swamp... until my end.
