Her digits burrowed into the cool soil. She could feel it's pain radiate up her legs. The Power Station was sucking life out of the surrounding earth. The power station was owned by the Polish Energy group[sup]1[/sup]. And it hadn't pinged her radar even once over the past few years despite it being ranked one of Europe's worst polluters. She kept up with all sorts of environmental activist groups. And according to her sources the power station's owners, PEG, had signed a [i]memorandum of understanding[/i] that they'd build or fund another plant to capture and store the first plant's emissions[sup]2[/sup]. The deadline had been 2011[sup]3[/sup], but everyone knew bureaucracy moved slowly. It wasn't until the 2014 reports came out naming Bełchatów Power Station "the most climate-damaging power plant in the European Union" by the European Commission. The plant had emitted roughly 37.2 million tonnes of CO[sub]2[/sub] in 2013[sup]4[/sup]. Unforgivable. And still nothing changed. The PEG made no more advances to hinder or prevent their ways and continued to let the plant pollute the world. There was no recompense for the PEG. They just flaunted their misdeeds and got away with it. For too long. Soon Ivy would bring a reckoning down upon their heads. Something they'd never forget. Ivy's mouth twitched up into a smile and she gave a small croon to her tree she was leaning against. "[color=1a7b30]Soon my love. Soon.[/color]" She ran a a hand up and down it's bark. She could feel it's shortened life span. So near the plant it was strangled. She passed a little bit of her strength to the tree. It wasn't much, but all she could spare. She'd need everything she had if she was going to raze Bełchatów to the ground. All the life here was crying out for vengeance. Of course [i]soon[/i] was all relative. She needed a time when the station was least active. It would do no good to destroy it only to have it explode and kill the plants she was trying to save. Which, consequently, meant she needed to wait until night time. Luckily for the men who worked there for they'd all be home for the night. Except for the night crew. Hopefully they could all run. Ivy watched as the men departed. Her green eyes sharp and dangerous. She knew no one saw her because her lovelies hid her from sight. She could see out of the little wooded area she was in, but no one could see in. As soon as the last worker left for the night Ivy pulled herself away from the tree. It tried to cling to her but she pushed it gently away. "[color=1a7b30]Hush my love.[/color]" Ivy whispered to it. "[color=1a7b30]Mommy's going to destroy this nasty Power Station and make you feel better. I promise.[/color]" With on final caress Ivy pulled away for the last time and started walking towards the station. The towering smoke stacks were visible even through the trees. The stacks were among Poland's tallest free standing structures[sup]5[/sup]. But soon that list would have to be revised. Ivy's bare feet stopped at the chain link fence blacking her way. The red headed woman raised an arm and a thick tree root burst from the ground and smashed through the fence. Bits of dirt rained down on her but Ivy didn't notice. She was already walking through the new hole. Ivy walked casually all the way up to the front doors when two men with guns burst from inside. They shouted at her in Polish. Ivy didn't have to understand the language in order to know their meaning. The guns were trained on her unfailingly. So, Ivy offered them a small smile and raised her hands in a gesture of surrender.
