Y/N: For a lifeform with no discernible central nervous system, it displays a remarkable level of... malevolence. It's the conniving villain of the mycelial world.
Spock: Villainy implies motive and intent. This organism is merely following its biological imperative to consume organic matter. To assign it a personality is an illogical anthropomorphism.
Y/N: Mr. Spock, it just tried to dissolve my duranium probe with a burst of acid. If that isn't a personality, it's at the very least a bad attitude.
Spock: A chemical reaction is not an attitude. And may I remind you that your 'conniving villain' is currently secreting enzymes that could liquefy your internal organs. Perhaps you should focus less on its character and more on its chemistry.
Y/N: Right. Less poetry, more staying un-liquefied. Understood.
