Geoschmo vs Cheeze 2401.8

You must be mistaken Minister. I am by no means as expert in the scientific fields as you are, but intelligent plants? How can this be possible? How could plants have evolved the ability to use tools and construct space ships?

Your Emminence, they appear to grow their ships. From what we have been able to determine from the debris of the ship we destroyed it appears the hull is a species of plant life itself. Not the same species as the Floral ones, it appears to be non-sentient itself. But the intelligent plants appear to be able to manipulate other organisms telepathically. At least that is our best guess. We will need more time to research it. Perhaps if we can collect some live specimens next time Emminence?

That may prove difficult minister. The Defense minister tells me the ship we encountered was an unarmed colony ship. But rather then avoid conflict as our colony ship captains are instructed the UF ship attacked and rammed our vessel. Obviously they have little regard for individual life. If their unarmed colony ships behave in such a manner we can only assume that any armed ships they send our way will be quite determined in battle. Their will be time for botany experiments later. Right now we will need to accelerate our weapons research programs.

Yes your Emminence.
