Sandy: "Hey Hey, BLUE! Give me that."

A clattering of hooves comes over the device as Sandy tugs the tablet away from Blue

Sandy: "Okay, well it's good, I think. So I did some more digging into what we can do to reboot the food chain and it's possible. You just need a lot of power and more work hours then I can shake a sub at."

The rustling of pages can be heard.

Sandy: "So, first we need to get some seaweed, live seaweed, which is going to be a lot harder than it should be, since every single sample I tried so far is long dead or in a state where it can't grow, which isn't all that bad since the fish don't have to eat live plants so we're not in the middle of the biggest ecosystem collapse of Equestria's history.... yet. There's something in these books, foals tails mostly, but there's a super bizarre plant creature, I don't really know how else to describe it. It's called the Great Seedling. So I've been cross checking these books with newspaper articles, legends, tales, and I can more or less guess, that if it's real it's in Everfree. It looks like a deer, but it's a plant, super bizarre, anyway legend says it can make crops bloom, grow plants, that kind of thing, some kind of inverted photovoltic magic I think."

Blue coughs loudly on the line, interupting Sandy before he can engage in technobabble.

Blue: "Goldfin, there's a plant deer monster somewhere between the Apple Estate near Ponyville, and the Ghastly Gorge, if we get that, we should be able to find a way to get a sample of living seaweed to start growing with UV lamps. Sandy says all the seaweed would be inbred, but I don't think the fish would care. Also, there's a problem, there's deer there, like lots of deer, and the really don't like ponies right now. At all. Sandy says they shoved everypony out of the forest except for Zebras, and Nightmare Moon may have errr, threatened them."

Sandy: "The paper says and I quote ''You will bend knee to me, or you will learn to till lunar dust and grow moonrocks for dinner. Also I have no idea what we'll do for power, UV lamps are awful."

Blue: "So yeah, that's what we have."

Sandy: "It's not good, we'll need like 200,000 pony hours to even get the underwater greenhouse up, then we have to run cable, build a plant, an electric plant not a plant plant, and then it's something like 48 days to get the seaweed to mature. Clear See is looking for live seaweed when she's not at school, but that could all change if the Staff Captain catches on. We'll be sunk, okay, I won't but Blue would."
