Well, machines don't normally grow. On the other hand, there are some...bio-mechnical hybrids out there where I'm from. Well, not Earth, but--other planets. So maybe a bit of both? I haven't taken one of them apart yet.

[is there something wrong with her that she's smiling a bit at the idea of taking a vine apart to look for signs that it's something else? Maybe]

I'm pretty sure the animals are purely organic though, so the plants probably are too. Well, the animals besides these things [she smiles at the gray parrot on her shoulder] But I think since we're apparently a part of...everything, it should be safe to assume that other living things are too, and are really alive. Just...in a different way from us? Like--they were in stasis, probably, until we came here and gave the signal for them to come online. [she's mixing up a few different types of terminology, but she's also sipping at her bitter drink because while it's not good, she needs alcohol pretty badly right now]
