News & Advertisements - Todd Michaels and Rachel Smith are both feeling so silly after their horticulture project for Hillsdale collage attempted to kill them last night. As it turns out, the students were able to create a sentient plant, they called Ethel. Ethel apparently is a specific genetic mix that the two had been breeding for the past year as part of a project for their senior year.
The newly sentient plant attacked them just as they were leaving Tuesday evening, having decided to leave the lab, and dragged itself into the halls of the building. The building's staff quickly realized what had happened due to both the security guard noticing the attack on the monitors and a staff meeting of the horticulture department breaking at the same time next door, causing half the staff to walk into Ethel's path. The staff then tried to stop Ethel from escaping the building, as the plant pulled itself through the halls and attempted to attack passersby.
Two hours into Ethel's reign of terror, Department head Sam Richards struck the final blow, killing the plant before she could escape through the ventilation.
Michaels and Smith are both in the hospital with minor injuries for their efforts, and should both be released by the weekend. Though apparently there are strict rules about living subjects for their project, Richards has said that they are to be given A's both because of the achievement of a sentient plant and because he hacked it to pieces before it could be graded.
