With a herculean effort Edwards throws the little monster off and grabs for his gun.

Edwards: "DIE YOU LITTLE!!! Wha!?! It teleported!?!"



In the Genesis Pit...

Lang: "Liebschen, what are you doing with our Tasmanian Devil? Come to bed."

Regis: "In a minute, dear I'm helping it's evolution."



Edwards feels movement in his pants.

Minmei: (Smiling sweetly) "You know Kyle, I never PROPERLY thanked you for waiting til it was nearly too late to rescue me from Edwards ... and then failing..."

Kyle: "Umm ... Minmei, that's ... not ... really necessary."

Minmei ignores him, focusing instead on setting a series wicked looking tools on the table. Lynn Kyle goes pale she sets out a book, Chakra Torture for Beginners.

(Meanwhile, Rick and Lisa head towards Kevin's office, unaware of the horrors taking place within)

Rick: "So, who do you think they'll get to play me in the movie?"
Lisa: "Supposedly Tobey whathisname..."
Rick: "And I was hoping for a headliner like Tom Cruise or something..."
Lisa: "I'm hoping for Natalie Portman..."

(Rick and Lisa open the door and...)

Rick and Lisa:

Rick and Lisa:

(Inside Kevin's Office)

Kyle: "Please...no more..."
Minmei: "I'm not done yet. This book has about a thousand pages and there's also an advanced version I bet you're dying to try out!"
Kyle: "It's just not fair..."
Minmei: "I'm finally getting me some justice!"

Edwards: "This isn't from the Hunters is it?"

The scout turns it's body to indicate no.

Edwards: (Reading the invoice) "Oh, its from Minmei! Maybe she's finally apologising for the way she treated me?"

Edwards opens the package and a rabid Tazmanian Devil leaps out and latches on to his face.

Invid Scout: (Telepathically) "Maybe I'll just go and have that drink with Kevin now..." (Flies off at top speed)

"Sir, are you sure giving her the secret of Magic Brownies was a good idea."

"Why not! It should help her mellow out a little..."

Things I am NOT Allowed to Do With Flower of Life/Protoculture:

1. Magic Brownies.

Customer Reports(January 2045): Things NOT to do with Flower of Life/Protoculture:

"Given what little Terrestrial Humanity actually knows about the Flower of Life/Protoculture, compared to the Invid(who consume it in all its myriad forms) and the Tirolians(who use it for power, propulsion, and the basis of an entire new branch of applied biological sciences and technology), it behooves us to learn as much as we can about the still-mysterious plant(and its derivatives) that have already had such an impact, for good or ill, on Humanity.

Naturally, though, as with any new field of inquiry, we can expect stumbles and falls, and more than few casualties. Such is the nature of inquiry. And even in failure, we learn SOMETHING, such as 'don't do that'.

After rigorous testing, the signing of multiple responsibility and safety waivers, and the ejection of a good deal of commonsense, we have learned the following:

1) A Substitute for Tobacco----Don't smoke it. Just don't smoke it. While we had plenty of volunteers for this experiment, we stopped after our first three volunteers vaporized. We're not sure if their last expression was of sheer bliss or sheer terror.

2) Fresh Squeezed Juice---Aside from a few anecdotes regarding mixed marriages, we discovered drinking the fresh sap of Flower of Life was ANOTHER bad idea. What few imbibing experiments that didn't end in trips to the emergency room and the ICU, have resulted in several shotgun weddings and several pregnancies we're very cautiously watching.

3) Aftershave/Perfume---Our experiments with fragrance of Flower of Life resulted in mixed results; humans had little or no reaction to the scent, but on the other hand it attracted Invid aerial units in abundance. Experiments discontinued after our sixth volunteer was abducted.

4)Detergent---Similarly, using rendered sap of Flower of Life as a freshening agent in laundry detergent resulted in clean, fresh-smelling laundry, but our laundry subsequently disappeared with subsequent visits by the Invid.

5)Pet Food---On our experiments with using Flower of Life as a dietary fiber filler for pet food, we discovered that three-inch armor plating offers the best minimum protection from cat claws. And we're still trying to figure out how to tell the UEEF that the giant creature that threatened to graze down the new settlement at New Seattle wasn't from a genesis pit."

Night time, a camp near Reflex Point.

6) As a Fuel Additive---We got fixed results adding distillated Flower of Life spirits in a gasohol mixture. About fifty percent of the engines we tried it in fizzled out and choked, another forty percent caught fire, and the remaining ten percent..well, we've asked the UEEF fleet to see if they can recover our lawn mowers from out near Saturn.

7) Wine---Proving that you can use just about anything to make alcohol, we used the talents of several vitners in the California territory to make us up some fermented Flower Wine, using stockpiled Flower sap hidden in a cave (so we only had to age it about an extra year). Results were initially promising; our taste testers commented on the fruity, sparkly flavor. Then one of them mutated into a giant grape. Another exploded. Another we had to recover half-frozen from the top of Mount Mckinley, where he apparently spontaneously teleported. We put a stop to further experimentation, although our vitners have suggested further aging of the spirits, and/or cutting the juice with other vintages, such some of the surviving Grand Fenwick labels.
