      Eh, this type of conversation is surprisingly common actually. At least half of my ecology tutors/professors over the years have said/done things rather similar to this, although granted it’s more commonly about insects.

    Unfortunately, T. distichum is commonly planted around the world as an ornamental. It might lead to a specific neighborhood, however

      I’m more curious about leafy plants growing underground. Say, think Cyprus’s kid is out for revenge against asig?

        It’s required by plot and logical break – like the black roses and other plants grown underground by the Phantom/Morlocks/Prehistoric creatures (or generic equivalent).

          And now I have a ridiculous theory involving Madblood stuck in my mind. Oh well, the amount of mads we’ve seen is rather small, considering that this comic is about an organization that deals with their creations.

    If I’m not mistaken, New Orleans is on the gulf coast.

          Not necessarily, but they may want to test any zombies they capture for tetrodotoxin.

          The sapient swamp can already make zombies, no voodoo required. I’m thinking either Cyprus is being forced into starting zombie civil wars by asig or part of her escaped and has its own agenda.

    Will one of our sewer zombies be wearing a tuxedo?

    Before I start, I should explain that “science” is, in fact, a verb now. I have the shirt to prove it.

    See the leaves I found! See the leaves, I say!
    Though we’re underground, and you think, “No way!”
    Soon as I calm down, I will leave Stage A …
    Analyzing greenness! I’ll science it today!

    Normally, these plants … grow quite far away!
    Native to the Gulf, not Ca-li-for-ni-ay!
    What’s it doing here? I suspect foul play!
    Analyzing greenness! I’ll science it today!

      Hmm a valid point,
      NOW STOP SQUIRMING OR I’LL SCIENCE YOU!

    Science is understood by many as a rigorous process of discovery, research, study… and madness!

    Didn’t ASig want to extract something from the sentient swamps for their own use? This could be an accidental (or “accidental on purpose”) Quasi-Governmental Mad Science leak.

    T. Distichum is, of course, known to attract swarms of clupea rubra, which subsist primarily on argumentative growths in the surrounding waters.

    Given that Dr. Lee, our resident monster-maker, has never heard of the existence of Stage B, this gives surprising insight into U.N.I.T.Y.

    This is beyond what I read before losing my comic bookmarks (I think it was right at the end of My House is Me), so I’m in uncharted territory and no longer need to pretend that I don’t know spoilers/genuinely have forgotten details. In light of that:

    I wonder if her brain-drunk just ended or if “Stage B” is an eccentric genius thing (as in real life) and not a this-style-of-zombie thing in general.

      For the record, KT here is pretty much me at my best.

        …and as far as I’m aware, I’m not a zombie.

          Well, “zombie” is kind of a grey area… no pun intended.

    In my experience, this is normal behavior for a postdoc.
