[WP] "No no it's really simple, you don't see the future, you remember it. You know when you remember knowing something but can't remember the fact itself? A memory of a memory, really."	27
[WP] The wind was picking up, as it did every night, and it carried the sound of the massive machines on the horizon.	26
[WP] "My fellows gather round and listen..." The ancient tree spoke, "for I have seen a new creature among us in the forest, a tool user who looked at me with such greed that there is no doubt in my roots they will return... I beg of you, if you are not rooted, flee."	25
