Yes. It's normal.

[ Zane is in the greenhouse dome; he's lit by the panels of lights aimed on the plants, to keep them alive. Keep them going. ]

For the Barge to be dark, and for people to be left behind.

More than a year ago, now, it was Silent Hill. It's been the Mirror Barge. It's been the Emperor's attempt to escape... it's been crash-landings on planets of caves and lightning.

Stop talking about the Barge like it's safe. Just because you can't die doesn't mean you're safe. It means that there will always be another opportunity to set things right. It means you can't let go of hope.

If anyone wants to, in the greenhouse, you can adopt a seed or a seedling in honor of someone left behind. I don't know if it will help. It might.

Sunflowers. Some others, I don't know what they're called, but they're orange, and the leaves are coarse.

...sunflowers. That one. The Doctor said they only grow on earth.

[godsays]

That seems like a waste.

[to_dust]

I thought it had something to do with them just not doing well on other planets.

[godsays]

I know. I think more than one planet should be able to have them.

[to_dust]

I feel the same way about poyerla flowers, but I've never seen them outside of my universe.

[godsays]

Ask the Admiral for some here.

[to_dust]

I'll worry about Jack's sunflower for now.

[godsays]

Do you want to grow it from a seed?

[to_dust]

Yes. I know how it's done.

[godsays]

All right. I'll take a few from the flowers that are growing.
