What safety precautions are going in to protect people from the literal zombie creating parasitic plant? Is the Admiral nullifying all of its more unusual traits and keeping its appearance only?
[ Bless you Angeal for verifying either Vincent is sane or not all horticulture enthusiasts have no safety checks when it comes to plants. ]
Still discussing the particulars. I just wanted to be sure I was reading the same thing. Have had some... interesting dialogue with the Greenhouse supervisors.
One was very... enthusiastic about tending that type of plant with minimal restrictions to its power.
Supervisor. Aerith was fine, just a bit enthusiastic.
And... still working on that. I think she's reacting like most would for a normal animal. Not a fiend or monster.
[ It's text. How is the frustration bleeding through twelve point Courier New? Also... that's a new thing to worry about. He was concerned about the inmates that would mess with it. ]
I'd put a stop to it immediately if I found out that was the case.
It's not your place to put a stop to it, but it would be your place to present the problem to the Admiral as an active and rather pointless hazard. I don't see any benefits to having something like that onboard without having its unusual traits harshly curbed. I know we can't die here but I'm not sure becoming a zombie counts as dying.
[ Well, he would have been circumspect. And probably used the right channels. ]
Only speaking to Misty Quigley right now. Can't say for sure without seeing it, though I got the impression it's more like the offshoot of the plant reanimates the dead corpse.
[ Pedantic sounding, but may be relevant given returning to life when there's a corpse around seems to involve the corpse of the individual in question. So it might need to be freed of the parasite. ]
Right now doing damage control. Hoping she doesn't realize she could probably request this thing regardless of whether I want it for the alchemy or not. Still needs to be run by the Admiral.
I'll be sending my concerns to him and saying I'd prefer to stick with requesting the petals as a precaution though.
In that case who do I speak to about getting my hands on a restore materia and a fire materia? I want to be prepared when it's time to purge the infection.
Your current warden fills requests like that at their discretion.
At the same time I'd hate for this to get out of hand with rumors. Better less people know about this than more.
[ For at least three good reasons Vincent can think off offhand. One of them being that they don't need a lot of people panicking or getting paranoid about whether this plant is going to be on board when it hasn't even been decided if it will. ]
I am reasonably certain I would not need to explain why to my current Warden, having the ability to heal a little or burn a little can only be to something's benefit.
If you need some measure of backup from another warden however, if someone's foolish enough to insist on having a zombie plant onboard, Archer is very no-nonsense.
PLEASE do. Really. I want to know if I'm risking being turned into plant food just by strolling the hallways casually. Meanwhile there's plenty of salt and vinegar to be had in the kitchens and it's an amazing herbicide.
[ Sir that phrasing suggested that the science included some poor animal. But yeah, that was probably extrapolated on in words and not test. Well, maybe some poor slugs suffered a cruel fate. Still. ]
Fairly sure it said undead. But can't hurt to try.
[ Can vinegar be blessed by a priest? Salts could in theory. ]
[ There's a serious, contemplative moment in which Vincent decides he may want to avoid buying pickled things in remote villages when he returns to Gaia. Instead... ]
If it manages to slip in and you can pickle it, let me know the results.

Is it being planned as a punishment for dangerous inmates?

Understand if I see something like that appear in the gardens it's going to go conspicuously missing.
no subject
If she has her way, it won't be seen in the garden. She wants to keep it in her cabin. [ You know. Next to other cabins. ] So it will be more secure.
[ That plant is going to probably go missing one way or the other if it appears in an accessible place. Probably. ]

Even undead can be pickled!
I felt it needed a wrapup somehow. c.c

I should get back to work. I'll keep you posted.
