[There’s a clicking noise, then a burst of static, before a moment of silence. A male voice speaks first, recognizable as Greg’s.] Did it work?

[A female speaks up.] Is it a plant? No. How should I know if it works? Mine got eaten by the Hungry Vine.

[A third voice speaks up, a new male.] He was asking in general, not you, Abbot. And yeah, I think it’s going. But not video. You’re the codemonkey, fix it.

[Greg snorts.] Fixing, fixing, bug boy. You go play with your beetles, I’ll get this… there.

[The video flickers on, showing Greg, Caroline Abbot, and another young man who resembles Greg slightly. ]

[Greg nods happily.] Guess what? We have blankets! [He holds up stiffer-looking greenish-white blankets.] We’re going to share! Abbot can explain!

[Caroline sighs.] They’re plant fiber. I modified the Hungry Vine to have stronger limbs, and—

[The other guy shakes his head.] She’ll talk for hours. Look. Plants became blankets. It’s not good weather for them, but you’ll have them. Anyone wants to pick them up, we already dropped off a load at [x,y]. Outreach and shit, since our PR department is fuc—

Matthew! [Greg’s voice is sharp.] There’s a lady present.

[Caroline blinks, staring at Greg.]

[Matthew snorts.] Fine. Since our PR department is sleeping around instead of making sweet, sweet love to all of y—

[Greg reaches over and shuts the sound of the PCD off. He and Matthew talk for a moment, while Caroline looks very awkward. She plays with a vine that’s crawling up her arm, smiling at it. The boys stop talking, and Greg rolls his eyes and turns the sound back on.]

[Matthew sighs.] The PR department isn’t doing its job. So we’re doing what we can. Better?

[Greg nods, then looks off to the side.] We’ve got to stop transmitting for now. Guard cycles. But we’ll answer questions in a few minutes. It should be safe.

[He smiles, and with a quick wave, he shuts off the PCD.]

[[ooc: There are twenty-five plant-fiber blankets at the location listed.]]

If you have time to waste making blankets in Summer, do something more practical.

Thank you very much for the blankets, but...they won't come alive, will they?

Blankets work nicely! Ignore the rude people, most of us are happy to have them. Quick question. Just how many of you are there? Scientists, I mean.

Hm... they'll be useful for when winter hits. I suppose. Though we have blankets here, more are sure to be welcomed. There aren't many compared to the number of people here, unfortunately, but they look unique.

Plant fiber? What are the properties and advantages of using it, if you don't mind my asking?

You were nice enough to make blankets after all the trounble some of us caused?

How is it your superiors aren't reading this bullshit? Wasn't security supposed to be tight?

So, correct me if I'm wrong - you're finding a gap in the security to talk to us, and you're certain that this won't be found at a later date?

If you do indeed have a PR department, then yes, I wager it is not doing its job at all.

As it is, I would like to thank you for the kind offer, and for reaching out to us again.

Huh.

Well, it's something. Any special properties to these blankets or are they just...you know, warm?
