Summary of Receipt
Considering that there is not much information on protodemons in general, experiments are necessary, and No. 53 suggests weed killer. They are unsure if Mrs. Zerep should be paid in full, since technically she's just a really weird-looking puppy.

Alright, buckaroos, we've got a prolific, pro-rated, pro bono, protodemon to deal with, and we've gotta think up some way to deal with it that isn't just shoving it back into Eden. Of course, I'm not AGAINST throwing it back into Eden. But, and a big sexy one at that, we don't know how to do that yet and I don't feel like waiting around for the magic nerds in Palm Beach to figure it out.
First off, containment. Zerep may not be outright hostile, but it sure is killing off all the plants in Central Park, and it likes to roughhouse. Not good for Tourists in either case. I've started to work out a steaming pot of coffee to keep the Tourists away for a while, but it's really hard to shut down Central freaking Park for longer than a week. There is only so much liquid ass in my arsenal. (Yes. It's a gas leak again. Don't diss the classics.)
Second off, learning. Let's face the facts here: we don't know anything about protodemons other than they are weird, wacky things from Eden. So, we don't know what will work, what won't work, and what should work but for plot reasons never seems to. It's not like the last time an entirely new type of thing showed up—we don't have a bubbly blonde with a magic deus ex machina tattoo to just fix our problems for us. Not yet, anyway. Still holding out hope for something convenient to fall into our laps. In the meantime…
Why make things complicated? It's plant-like, right? It's feeding off of the plants in the area. It is… for all circus tents and porpoises, a giant weird Audrey II-type thing. Weed killer. Good ol' fashioned chemicals. This does go back to step two, though… we need to do some small-scale tests first to see if it'll totally freak Zerep out or not. Also, I guess we weigh the ethical implications of paying this tab in full just because we can. It is… not outright mean or anything. It's just a weird puppy. On the other hand, do we really care about protodemons? Should we care about protodemons? I dunno! Not my decision to make.
