The mutated tree was the centerpiece of the courtyard, but the Devosans had decorated the center of their garden with more minor wonders.
The kids ran off to play and talk with the other children. Gloriana sought out a group of Terran mech designers and began to exchange information about superdimensional technology.
Ves meanwhile chose to observe the exhibits together with Master Laila Rebecca Devos.
While the mutated tree was the centerpiece of the garden retreat, the Terrans had added plenty of other interesting works.
One of them was a sculpture of a brave soldier that was made of hyper materials that were attuned to different emotions.
When Ves approached, it sought to read his mood. The statue seemed to sense his amusement, which caused it to drop its intimidating warclub and pick up a glass of beer before toasting it in his direction.
"How remarkable."
