The SCIA chopper had dropped Melina Zola off at her new home (at least for the time being), where she found a welcoming party already waiting for her.
"My wife -I mean, the mayor - was unfortunately not able to come and greet you personally. She's busy overseeing the construction of the school building. But she sends her warmest welcome!"
Freddy had been tasked by Finley to greet the scientist, who immediately began talking about how excited she was to be able to visit this biodiverse part of SimNation.
She was particularly interested in one member of the welcoming party, however.
"I was of course briefed that your kind were living here, but still... Remarkable.. Are those leaves growing directly out of your skin?"
Cedrus didn't like the way she was looking at him as if he was an exhibit in one of those simlish buildings that they called "museum". But he didn't want to make her feel unwelcome so he shook her hand and faked a smile.
