She holds the last key to understanding tree-talk so that SEEDS can reproduce the process of talking to nature with advanced technology, the result of years of research. But Flora suspects that the software being produced at SEEDS might be used for the wrong reasons, to inflame an already panicked world, instead of bringing peace between humans and nature.
