Phoebe
”I didn’t test this formula on animals, but the only substance in it of great concern is the liquefied sulphur.” Phoebe said, flipping through her notes to the page she had written everything Nate said on it while they made the concoction. ”In the world Nate came from, people were more advanced with technology. He already knew about cells and the little green things in plants called…chloroplasts with the chlorophyll in them. That’s what is being disrupted in the plants by the blight.” she said, deciding to just brain dump everything on Frey. She pointed to her drawing of the blighted cell. ”See? It’s blocking the chloro-things so the plant can’t make its food from the sun.”
She sighed as well, hurriedly going through her notes before she found the right passage reading her notes verbatim. ”In Nate’s world they did lots of studies on lots of things and sulphur apparently is low tocks-is-aty and that means it’s not particularly poisonous to humans or animals unless it is breathed in and that is really hard to do with a liquid like this. It is a lacks-ative which he said means it can make you have diarrhea or vomit if you have to much but the amount an animal would have to eat of this is literally insane and I would actually be impressed if a deer ate that much grass.” She blinked and paused. ”Err…rather he would be impressed, this is what he told me. So that’s how I know. And I trust that he is right about it. Otherwise I would have to go around and force feed animals sulphur and see what happens and there just isn’t time.” she explained, feeling frustrated herself. Phoebe wanted to understand, really she did, but the Greatwood was dying more and more with each passing minute and the pressure to get it right was immense.
”I…I don’t know if I am smart enough to figure out what the blight is. I don’t think I have the skillset or the knowledge or even a basic clue about how it all works but…but clearly its making the chloroplasts or whatever you’d like to call the green circles inside the plants cells burst and turn black. I don’t know how to actually test those parts to figure out what that is…nor do I think I even have the tools to do so.” she said, finally admitting that she didn’t think she could know, and though she was direct she remained non-confrontational, any frustration detected directed at herself not the deity before her. She wasn’t good enough. "I'm sorry I failed you, Frey...and everyone else too."
