Well, this is unfortunate. Topsoil erosions from our constant depletion of natural resources have a high chance of causing flash floods the next time it rains. This could cause tremendous damage to our infrastructure in the Outpost.
That sounds… terrible. Terrible because you're telling me, and your voice is all whiny, and it sounds like it's really not my problem. I mean, aren't you the civil engineer?
Actually, to be precise, it's all of our problems. In order to plant enough trees in time for the next predicted storm, we'll all have to pitch in to help.
Oh, and I suppose you're gonna say we have to plant a bunch of different trees for "ecological diversity" or some other made up reason.
Yes, that's exactly what I was going to say.

Are you aware that you're breathing trees right now?
I 'eard about a flood that swept through the Raptor Nest and right into Recoil. People were eatin' dinner and -BAM- raptors slammed right in the puddin'.

Perkins, I told you to plant trees over in that area. I know you like working beside me, but this is about efficiency, not comradery.
I swore I just planted some– Oh god, spiderwasps are eating the trees.
Well, isn't that conveniently horrible. Y'know, I hated this idea in the first place. Let the spiderwasps eat the trees, for all I care.
Morgan, if we don't plant these trees we could all be in dire trouble! Think of your troop...think of the boot factory! Do you want the boot factory to be washed away?
Fiiiiiine. We'll plant the trees. But I am getting rid of these spiderwasps and you better not say a word about "The Environment" or "Humane Practices" or anything!
Finish mission
We did it! To be honest, I didn't think we'd plant enough trees in time.
A 'Good Job Everybody' would be nice, Floyd! I've got to go wash the spiderwasp ichor out of my pants. And by me, I mean Perkins.
At least we won't be eaten by swimmin' raptors. Or spiderwasps.
'Good Job' to me…

I mean, the trees are kind of pretty.

The trees whisper secrets of a fallen empire. Destruction comes from the roots.
