Is that suppose to be an instrument? [Nope, he didn't mean the journal to catch that.]

[chibiremlover]

I don't think so. I'm a plant.

[beaglenapper]

....What?

[chibiremlover]

Well, I guess I'm different from the other Plants, but me and my brother were born from one.

[beaglenapper]

Ah. So you're a bit like...a fruit?

[chibiremlover]

No! Not like that!

The Plants... they're... well... they're a mix of machine and organic life. Humans made them to help them build the new home they're looking for.

[beaglenapper]

Interesting. I've heard of alien races of this kind, of course; and Keenser's got some type shrub in his family tree no doubt. Have you any special plant-related abilities?

[chibiremlover]

Umm... well... I guess I grow a little faster. [At least he thinks so, Rem's never said anything about it, but he has heard Steve complain about it.]

Do you have powers for being a Scottish? [Yeah, someone got a little confused on the heritage question.]

[beaglenapper]

Oh, that would be a resounding aye, laddie!

[chibiremlover]

...you can do something with your eye?

[beaglenapper]

No---that would be one of the Scotch powers. "Aye" is another way of saying "yes"!
