Crowdsourcing this one since I haven't found the answer myself.

My mother was a tree and a needle, as well as being who she was. My father was lightning and a thread. Who am I?

You know, I'm fairly certain that counts as cheating. Worse, it's not even subtle cheating.

[hulkbusted]

Were we playing a game?

Text | Private

[infernoandhearth]

You're the one framing it as one.

Text | Private

[hulkbusted]

I'm taking advantage of the resources at hand, from what I know of you, you should appreciate that.

Text | Private

[infernoandhearth]

Fair enough. I'll be interested to see if anyone solves it for you.

Text | Private

[hulkbusted]

So will I. I'll take what I can get.

How do you feel about water?

Text | Private

[infernoandhearth]

Water's fine. I've no particularly strong opinions about water. Is this to do with the sensors?

Text | Private

[hulkbusted]

Yes. I want to get some out off in the Deep Blue. They'll probably be eaten, but it would be a start.

[infernoandhearth]

How far out do you want them? I assume you'd like them placed on the sea bed? I'm sure there must be rocky outcroppings I could search out.

Do you have scuba gear? I can scrounge something up or put something together here. Maybe you can take a friend, make a day of it.

Attached to rocks, coral, or other immovable objects would be the ideal.

I've been a seal before, and an otter. I'll be fine.

Shall I come and fetch the sensors now, then?

Text | Private

[hulkbusted]

[There's a delay in response while Bruce un-nons his plus.]

I'll try to work up an otter-sized backpack, I guess. Sure, I'll tell security to let you up so wear the face I'm used to.

[infernoandhearth]

Oh, you needn't if it's any trouble. I've my own way of bringing things along.

[His own face LONG ENOUGH TO GET INTO THE BUILDING, anyway.]

Text | Private

[hulkbusted]

What's that?

Text | Private

[infernoandhearth]

I don't have an answer for that you'll want to accept.

Text | Private

[hulkbusted]

I don't want to accept a lot of things around here, but it's intellectual laziness to reject clear evidence.

Text | Private

[infernoandhearth]

I change it into something else, portable in the new form.

Text | Private

[hulkbusted]

Can you demonstrate?

Will you demonstrate?

Text | Private

[infernoandhearth]

I might.

[hulkbusted]

[He's totally sighing at his phone.]

I'll be here all day.
