My guess is that it keeps the crap out, and therefore we don't die? Like the suits we have to wear?

Do you mean how does it do it? Because I don't have a fucking clue.

wall

[nothinglikefather]

More like a window I guess. But yes? I mean, god only knows what it's made out of but it works. I mean, how do those air-door things work? The locks? Maybe it's the same.

[0thingsonmymind]

does it
b r e a k ?

[nothinglikefather]

Does it? I don't know, you've been here longer than me. Has it broken before? I suppose it's something people would notice.

[0thingsonmymind]

tried

*Maybe he should. Though probably on windows inside first.*

[nothinglikefather]

On the dome? that's a bloody bad idea

Whose brilliant idea was it to let the local wildlife grow unchallenged? Can't you organics even keep your vegetation under control?!

You mean those drones who can barely keep from running themselves into walls?

Please. You give those bolt buckets too much credit.

YOU try harder!

Drones are the automatons scurrying around this place.

The dome keeps out ionizing radiation. So yes, this is bad. Precisely how bad, I'm still working to assess.

howto
cut down
?

[superposition]

Inadvisable. If it falls, the impact would still cause severe damage to the colony. Anyway, we already know it's capable of extremely rapid growth - what's to say it won't simply grow back?

Counter its growth factor, prune it back, and ultimately, kill it at the root. That's how we'll deal with this thing.

[0thingsonmymind]

*Not much of that makes much sense to him.*

how

[superposition]

[ ........ wait, did the comm eat his comment? Come on... Well, he'll just resend it. ]

Not sure yet. Controlled burns or freezing might be effective, or a chemical defoliant if we can synthesize enough of it.

[circumspector]

That is something we need to start getting on right now. If that cracks we're fu- in for a really bad time.

[0thingsonmymind]

okay

what do
?

Re: text

[circumspector]

Nothing we can do with just the two of us.

We need to disperse the pressure from the plant against the glass to stop it from breaking it.

Re: text

[0thingsonmymind]

*Disperse the...what now?*

?

[circumspector]

The glass will break if the plant keeps pressing against it like that.
