*He knows its not safe outside but he doesn't really get why inside is safe and outside isn't. Probably something to do with the walls, but he's not sure the dome counts as a wall.*

oth er
? ? ?

*Included is video of the blooming bud pressed up against the dome. He circles it as much as possible when filming it.*

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]

ihave not
tried

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

[nothinglikefather]

On the dome? that's a bloody bad idea

[0thingsonmymind]

plant will
try dome

*He's pretty sure if this thing keeps growing it'll go straight through it.*

[nothinglikefather]

you think its still growing?

Shit

Are you sure?

text -> video

[0thingsonmymind]

yes

*He switches back to video, showing the bud trying to bloom up against the glass.*

Video

[nothinglikefather]

[ Jacob stares for a moment. Damn it, but the bud wasn't there before, he's sure.]

... I think we need to cut it down.

itis
thick

ithink need more than
knife

[nothinglikefather]

Mate I think you might be right on that front. A saw maybe. Do you have steam saws? Or... fancy future electrical ones?

[0thingsonmymind]

thereis
chain


iwill look for

*Once he gets down from the plant.*

[nothinglikefather]

I don't know if chains are going to be enough. We're going to need saws.

Or we could burn it, I suppose.

[0thingsonmymind]

isthat
safe
?

*It might just set the entire place on fire and he's pretty sure he doesnt' want that.*

[nothinglikefather]

Just as safe as cutting it down and letting it smash into something or someone.

[0thingsonmymind]

*Oh, yeah, good point.*

this maybe
hard

[nothinglikefather]

maybe we should talk to some other people about this before we do it?

[0thingsonmymind]

prob ab ly

*He'll have to put together a crazy cryptic coded perfectly sensible video to ask for help, then.*

[superposition]

Yes, you should. Whatever you do, do not go setting the whole thing on fire. We're all in an airtight space with it, where do you think the smoke would end up?

[nothinglikefather]

The same place as all the flatulence gas? There must be air filters.

[superposition]

[ Okay yeah he's not going to dignify the fart gas thing. ]

Of course there are, but they have a capacity, and in any case filtration takes time. A fire that size could overwhelm the scrubbers. And that's assuming it doesn't also cause the stalk to collapse.

[nothinglikefather]

We want the damn thing to collapse? That's the idea.
