Your TRICK BLOSSOM explodes in a shower of springs and confetti. It would have been hilarious had anybody been around to see the trick. In its place sprouts a sure-to-be-useful CORPSETRAP BLOSSOM, an expenditure which drains three CHLOROPLAST UNITS from your Energy Reserves.

![[Image: 39.gif]](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/thriggle/Space%20Opera%20II/39.gif)
To this end, you use four more CHLOROPLAST UNITS to grow a COPTERBLOSSOM.

It appears to be a dead MANNERPILLAR. This simple-minded creature must have dined on your POISONOUS TRICKBLOSSOM over the course of the night.
![[Image: 41.png]](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/thriggle/Space%20Opera%20II/41.png)
You shove the MANNERPILLAR into your CORPSETRAP BLOSSOM. From there, it is transferred to your DIGESTIVE ROOT-SYSTEM.
![[Image: 43.png]](https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v619/thriggle/Space%20Opera%20II/43.png)
As the MANNERPILLAR digests, you replenish your Energy Reserves with five more CHLOROPLAST UNITS.
Now what?

And grow something else, too? You need to use more energy, so you don't waste the energy you're going to get from digesting the MANNERPILLAR.

I assumed that since we got five chloroplast units, we already digested it as much as we could; even so, there's no reason our root can't come with us.
>Grow ACID-SPITTER BLOSSOM; you clearly have the capability to produce acid, and are obviously a vascular plant, so rerouting acid to something you can spit it out of should be simple.

It'll be gross to have it just hang out by the frond, which is like this awesome bonus.

But you're going to wait until your Photosynthesis Action Trait has fully replenished your Energy Reserves before you attempt it. They'll probably be replenished by the time you track NIGEL'S THORNBERRY down; you sense that it is somewhere in the direction of that distant ANIMAL HABITAT.

You only hope the warring ANIMALS leave that TRAITOROUS DRIP unharmed, so that you might personally enact your VENGEANCE!

It will probably involve eating him or something.
