Little did the Green Man know, the Daisies and Gladys had lied when they said they were turning over a new leaf.....

The microphones and fiber optic recorders hid in their delicate foliage took in everything the Green Man said and did. The information filtered down through their roots to the transmitter in the bottom of their planter, and was transmitted once again to the garden deck.

"By Orion's Belt! I hate going in there!" though Mandy as the door swished to a close behind her. The gigantic man-eating plant called itself Frodis, and had taken it's own room in the garden deck just shortly after Mandy arrived on board. Most of the time the plant sat swaying and humming to itself, and really was no bother, but days like today made her fear for her very life. She coiled the misting hose, and put away her trowel. The hose was for water, the trowel was filed razor sharp....for protection.

Frodis was alive with electricity. It's branches tingled and sparked with electricity. Gladys and the Daisies were telling it everything it needed to know.
