[ As is often the case with the doctor, the camera feed turns on, briefly flashes across his face and then spins around until it is showing the landscape. Usually it's the ceiling, but today he takes the time to set it up so that it pans across pallets upon pallets of little ... flora looking items.

The background of the shot is a corner of the Greenery. ]

Is anyone here good with plants? Like setting them up with the best chance to ... no, no, leave it!

[ A little taskbot is attempting to make off with one of the plants and Adrien is quick to retrieve the baby plant and then carefully redirect the taskbot towards a patch of grass. ]

As I was saying, best chance to thrive. My only real practical experience was with a meat eating plant, which these -thankfully- are not.

[ There is another pause as the doctor has to carefully shoo yet another taskbot away from the pallets. ]

Additionally ... has anyone been working to reprogram these 'bots? I'm sure they could be helpful were they not ... nooooooo! [ One had it's pruning sheers out and was about to cut off the stem of a baby plant, Adrien managed to save the plant but got his hand caught in the sheers, resulting in some rather enthusiastic cursing as the camera feed shut off. ]

[vdova]

That sounded painful.

[ She has no help to offer otherwise. ]

[prorenataa]

I can confirm that it was painful.

[ He sounds more aggrieved than actually hurt at this point. ]

[vdova]

Do you at least still have all your fingers?

[prorenataa]

For the time being at least.

[ Wry tone is wry and he's not being entirely sarcastic either. If the 'bots keep breaking out the shears, Adrien might have to resort to shooting them. ]

Whoever thought arming these little buggers was a good idea needed to have their head examined!

[This whole thing would've been amusing, if he hadn't ended up getting hurt. She looks a little concerned, but figures he doesn't really want a big deal made of anything.]

If you need help with that, I've been told I'm an expert at bandaging. I might be able to help with the plants, too.

[prorenataa]

[ As injuries went it was fairly minor. At least to Adrien's way of thinking, and he did have direct access to the band-aids. ]

The degree from my cracker jack box says I'm an expert at bandaging as well, though I appreciate the thought.

The bigger priority is getting these plants safe and hopefully well on their way to growing.

Any thoughts?

[ex_bossily211]

Setting up some sort of barrier the roombas won't be able to penetrate sounds like the best place to start. Those things are becoming more trouble than they're worth, honestly. Once we get that taken care of, I can show you what I know about gardening.

[She figures it's not a ton, but enough to get things growing.]

[prorenataa]

It's a start. [ He will agree with that, even as he leans over and captures a 'bot, redirecting it yet again. ]

I want to believe that they have the correct programing to help with this. It's just gotten FUBARed and needs to be cleaned up.

[ In Adrien's mind a cooperative effort of organic beings and these little tireless gardeners would be an optimal situation to help the Greenery thrive. However, tech and gardening are both not quite his wheelhouse. ]

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Iiiii'll come right on over to figure out those bots.

[ Before anyone gets anymore injured. ]

Video;

[prorenataa]

To be fair, I think they're trying to be helpful.

They're just failing at it.

[ This news comes with another snippet of Adrien rushing to a corner to chase a bot away from a vulnerable plant. ] No! It doesn't need more water.

[beautifulspaceraptor]

Oh, I don't doubt it, but I'd rather address the problem before they start getting to the rest of the plants.

I don't have anything particularly helpful to add on either front. I'm no good with plants, and I'm sure there are more capable AI engineers on the station. However, I have acquired a considerable amount of seeds that I would like to see go to the right hands. So if anybody who knows what they're doing in the greenery gets in touch with you, would you mind passing their information to me so I could get the seeds to them?

[prorenataa]

[ Adrien really is going three different direction at once as he chases 'bots away from their attempts to 'help'. ]

If I hear from anyone, I will send them your -no, get away from that!- way.

[magneticfields]

Thank you. Good luck with the bots. Let me know if you need me to corral them.

[sketchycharacter]

[Sorry, pal. Nate's not laughing at you, he's just...laughing at the situation? Which is pretty much the same thing.]

At least they want to be helpful instead of staging a robot uprising.

[prorenataa]

[ You're laughing at him. MmmHmm. Next time you're passed out drunk, you're getting sharpie on your face Nate. ]

Small favoooooorrr no, no! [ It would be easier to just start shooting the damn things but as Nate said; they were trying to be helpful. They just were going about it wrong. ]

[sketchycharacter]

[Hey, that has only happened once in the last year and it was a special dead wife occasion.]

Have you tried locking them out?

Video

[tearsinajar]

[ Elena just stares. ]

Good Lord— Adrien, do you need me to come down?

[ Holy smokes, Doc, what have you gotten yourself into now? ]

Video

[prorenataa]

[ Apparently he's gotten himself into the middle of a nest of malfunctioning little 'bots who want to raise baby plants.

...

By cutting them down. ]

Can you bring a broom to keep these things at bay [ his voice drops and he finishes quickly. ] withoutharmingthem

[tearsinajar]

You're lucky I don't have my gun with me. I wouldn't need a broom.

[ She gave a small pause. ]

You're in the greenery...?

[a_perfect_end]

I've been attacked by them before. Reprogramming is...ah. Variable. I can assist, however.

[But he's looking at the plants. With keen interest:] What varietal are they?

[WHAT ARE THOOOSSSE.]

[prorenataa]

Any assistance with these 'bots would be appreciated. Particularly if we could get them back to working with the plants rather than harming them.

[ He had some coding skill, but it was not really his favorite part of the wheelhouse; particularly if someone with more experience could tackle the challenge.

As for the question about the plants. ]

A wide variety of species, each known for either a medicinal property or can be used in conjunction with a couple others represented here to produce a medical aid.

[squadgoals]

Caught the green thumb?

[It's... kind of endearing, honestly, seeing Adrien bopping around with the plants. Very human.]

There's a couple people who've been working in the Greenery who have experience. I think Lavellan's been kicking around in there? Maybe you could get him to run distraction, at the least.

[prorenataa]

More like a green thumb of necessity. Seems to be our best shot, at the moment, for creating a renewable medicinal supply.

[ There is a thud and the sound of metallic scampering, combined with Adrien cursing and then he can be seen chasing down a 'bot that is trying to make off with a baby plant. ]

Give that back, it's NOT trash!

[squadgoals]

Agreed.

[There's really nothing to disagree with. It was, simply put, indispensable.]

Need a bot wrangler? I can head over right away.
