"[Name], I'm gonna need you to check the new tree sprouts, the ones north." "You got it dude!"

We are Arborist's. We tend to these trees.
They are no ordinary trees, these trees signify each and every universe. Each branch telling a new story. Each root showing each person. When one story ends so does the branch.

I make the walk up north, passing through miles and miles of trees. As I walk I look at the sky that was always full of stars, it never turned day, we can always watch the stars and see what they tell us, sometimes they tell us of new life of trees.

It took what the little tree people would call a day to reach the new sprouts. This place has no end, the land always stretched on for infinity. Despite the infinite land only certain few were ascended here, to help tend to the trees of life. We all don't know where we came from, just that we suddenly popped up and our one task is to tend to these trees.

We don't know what the little tree people look like or their worlds. I finally looked around the area of new sprouts, no time for monologues. I crouched down and looked at them, "new lives, well new to us, you little guys have probably been there for years now." I hummed softly as I poured water over them. I looked around once more, only now noticing there was a sprout out of place, that's never happened before? "Dude?" I called out and my supervisor suddenly appeared behind me, "what is- oh! The fuck?" "Yeah! What do we do about it? Do we pull it?" I ask, "erm, I don't know, this never happened before, at least the pst 37,615,000 years I've worked here..." they say and crouched down with me, looking at the strange plant, "uhm, should we tell Guy?-" "NO! No. I'm pretty sure I can handle this! No need to worry the man!"

...

"So what do we do?"

...

"I don't know...

I GOT IT! You know that old ass technology we got some billion light years ago?" "Ugh, those ugly things? When was the last time they needed an update?" "NOT THE POINT! But the big guys told us a long ass time ago if something happened with the sprouts to go to that thing!" I looked at them, "are you sure about this?" "Nope! But stay here! Ima go get a pot to put it in!" Dude suddenly ran back to the building.

I sat for about a few days before Dude came back.

Once Dude came back they were out of breath, "had to.... Run.... To the.... Next.... Plantation..... OVER!" They toppled over into the dirt to rest, I grabbed the small pot from them and reached down to dig the small sprout out. Soon enough after digging around the plant and being careful of the roots I gently lifted it up and into the pot. "Okay. Now what?" Dude instantly sprung back up, "NOW! We go and put the little guy into the machine! Or whatever!"

We both walked back to the building, and gently placed the plant next to the machine, "okay. Now what?" "I!.... Have no clue." We both looked at the machine, "erm, maybe this button?" Dude pressed a button which roared the machine to life. "Okay so Manual says to put the plant into that box and to press the "search for an-nom-a-lies?" I place the potted plant into the box part of the machine and closed the small door with it. I then looked at the small screen, squinting to read properly, I then pressed the "search" option. Which caused the machine to sound off a loud whirring noise.

The machine suddenly dings in completion. "The machine says the an-nom-a-lies are this thing called Sat-oro Go-Joe?" "What the fuck is that?" I asked looking at the screen, making Dude shrug, "okay, so it appears that someone needs to go and ill-im-an-ate? The object of disturbance. Since you found the plant I suggest you should go." Dude says to me, "uhm, okay. But what if something happens? I mean this machine is pretty old... WHAT IF IT BREAKS WHILE IM DOWN THERE?!" I started freaking out, "CALM DOWN YOURE FREAKING ME OUT TOO!!!!" After a few minutes of breathing we calmed down, "trust me! I'll make sure you get in and out! Like! Like... erm... eh like whatever those little guys say!"
