I'll get another profile up soon, but I hope this is all acceptable!  And Ravyn, I'm willing to bet your character would be extremely interested in Mother the moment information is leaked to Rebel forces.<br/><br/>For anyone actually a part of the Rebels, I imagine that only the following information would be leaked:  Firstly, that GenCorp has developed a one-of-a-kind plant for purifying toxic soil.  Secondly, the location of the facility that it is being held at.  And finally, that bringing females near it is highly inadvisable.  What it looks like wouldn't be known, nor its Experiment # or Designation.  All that information would have to be obtained during a raid.  Rumors could include that GenCorp is planning to use it to breed high-grade sex slaves (the more Feminine Mandragora) instead of using it for its purifying properties, riling up Rebel Forces to take action.<br/><br/>As for Mother herself: it is sentient.<em>Highly</em>sentient.  But like most GenCorp experiments, it does not currently possess vocal chords.  I'll expand on the sentience part in my first post, but for now I just wanted to say it so nobody thought that it was just a plant.  Furthermore, there is a way to keep it from altering females, which will clearly be rather important after it has been "liberated".  I can't think of many women that would want to be turned into an egg-laying pod-person!
