Those papers of hers. Those reports.

Every one of them opens up some mindbending impossibility that we’ve missed.

Some mindbending possibility that we’ve missed.

A whole world that we’ve lost, maybe time and time again now, through just one stupid mistake.

A whole world that we need to reclaim, if there’s any possible way that we can.

Weird plant-things.

Weird politics.

Weird battles where the whole aim – on one side, at least – is that nobody dies.

The weirdest part was that it worked. All of it. For them.

And could work for us, too.

Would be a whole lot better than what we have right now.
