All,

GCEPS would like to STRONGLY disagree with the stance that cyborg leech orchids are in any way, shape, or form ANIMALS.

GCEPS has been running tests on these perversions since the discovery of New Dikamazi. The only thing that makes these things more "alive" than any other plant is their mechanical parts - thus why we refer to them as CYBORG leech orchids!

Without their mechanical, robot parts, they'd be just like a thornbush, a weed, a hinkafruit. Pretty, maybe. Good to eat, perhaps. But an animal? No.

I love plants, I love animals, and I even love robots. But getting the three mixed up? That's dangerous.

GCEPS will continue to study the orchids in hopes that we can separate the mechanical from the organic and grow these plants as they were meant to be, without robotics, without circuitry - or else figure out what new kind of life we are dealing with here. Until we have more information, I, personally, would feel zero guilt about pruning away at those orchids.

Have a bright day!
