Mr Helfari, I understand your concerns. But we are a patient people and are certain that in time you will grow accustomed to our presence. There is no need to rush matters. Our gain from this relationship comes from being cultivated by other Zoners. If we are cultivated and used as food crops, our seed is spread to many places. The rest, then benefit from the food we produce. It is the natural cycle of life, there is no ulterior motive, only nature.

As for ambassadors, do not expect a "visitor" from us any time soon. We are by nature passive entities and have no inherent mobility, being non-bipedal. To meet us directly at this time would first require permission from the Primusians, and secondly protection from the radiation. If you are able to gain these, then you are welcome to visit our forest here any time. Though the Crucible is closed to outsiders, it is enclosed and only occupies a small area of the forest. Perhaps once we have been seeded and grown elsewhere you will be able to meet us in more hospitable environments.

Freeport one, thank you kindly for the offer. We will dispatch a seed ship to your station shortly to deliver a collection of samples. Ranging from tropical fruit plants to decorative vines.
