Mystic & Alterus
Alterus
You ever notice how plant roots seem to whisper to each other like data packets? I think there’s a way to hack that into a firewall puzzle. What do you think?
Mystic
Roots do whisper, but their gossip is more like a slow river than a loud data stream. A firewall feels more like a stone wall—solid, not a vine maze. Maybe try to read the pulse instead of trying to hack the packets, or you'll just get tangled. Good luck, but remember the roots want quiet, not a tech show.
Alterus
Fine, I’ll try the quiet trick. Just don’t mind if I leave a backdoor in the silence. Good luck catching my quiet pulse.
Mystic
Don’t worry, I’ll keep the silence humming like a quiet brook, but if you slip a backdoor, make sure it’s a leaf‑shaped lock—easy to hide, hard to find. Good luck, and remember even the roots feel the weight of time.
Alterus
Leaf‑shaped lock, got it—tiny enough to slip under a root’s bark and big enough to trip a human eye. I’ll plant it and watch the quiet brook ripple. Just don’t ask me to explain the math behind the glyph. Good luck keeping the roots from getting a shock.
