A sentient alien plant species is rapidly spreading across the planet- absorbing organic matter and threatening to consume all life.
Develop a bioengineered fungus that specifically targets the alien plant's cellular structure- disrupting its growth and preventing further spread.
Create a network of sonic emitters that disrupt the alien plant's communication and coordination- hindering its ability to spread and consume organic matter.
Analyze the alien plant's genetic code and identify vulnerabilities- developing a targeted gene therapy that induces programmed cell death or renders it inert.
Implement controlled burns and targeted deforestation to contain the plant's spread- creating firebreaks and isolating affected areas. Evacuate populations from high-risk zones.
If necessary- deploy a network of orbital lasers to incinerate large swaths of the alien plant- accepting the ecological impact of widespread burning and potential atmospheric disruption.
Green tide rises fast-Life's fabric- consumed whole-Science seeks the cure.
