What a hectic week that was... I can scarcely remember most of it, but I had enough cognitive capacity left in me to understand that I had been changed into a Tangrowth and shifted priorities completely. Whatever may have come of that to produce negative results, I must apologize. Cress was rather... clingy.

Brushing that aside, may I bring up an issue that has been bothering me since the day it was instated? I understand the necessity of an alternate means of governance to suppress the riots, but surely there remains enough stability to call off martial law by now... I have been observing the news almost religiously, and the levels of mayhem have decreased significantly over time. Moreover, the robot force, while successful in getting the public dissonance to simmer down, appear to have unintentionally created side-effects. In times of crisis, it is natural for some freedoms to be limited by necessity, but some of them are completely arbitrary to keeping the public at rest and, as such, uncalled for. While efficient at taking commands and carrying through their duties without question, robots aren't the best at using discretion, I have come to find. All they can do is what has been programmed into them, so they fail to use their best judgment when apprehending people. It is as though they have no common sense. Arresting a man for honking at a non-human pedestrian for jaywalking? Detaining a girl for bringing unsealed food items into the city? Disallowing my brother and I to return home? Worse yet, injuring people over senseless law enforcement that shouldn't have anything to do with current tensions.

This is ludicrous. It's too much. It's stifling. The robots must go. I am fed up with living in fear. As a matter of fact, I am sorely tempted to hose down any and all mechanical menaces that so much as cross my path! Why should I let them have their way with me? At the very least... I, Cress, will request that they be removed from campus. I can't be the only one who feels this way.

Which came onto his next line of business.



He had decided on what his calling was.

You all are gonna know it. All over the walls in the common halls. Papers on the walls.]
