As it turns out, she did a project in which she took phosphorescent traits from lightning bugs and inserted them into peas, so that she had actual GLOWING PEAS at the end of the project. Then the enviro-watchdog-nazis came along and insisted that the peas all be destroyed in the autoclave, lest they infect peas in the wild and destroy the ecosystem.
I have no idea what safeguards are reasonable for projects involving glowing legumes, but I'm worried that unless it's mixed into concrete, the ash from the autoclave might get mixed with juicy grass clippings, resulting in undead VAMPIRE mutant glowing peas. All that would save us is that we'd be able to see them coming at night.
