Round 3: The Merge
Welcome to Round 3, SmackDowners! You might remember the theme of this round from the previous SD, MadMike's Revenge. Now, back then it had two meanings, because it also represented the merging of two teams. This time, however, it's only called "the merge" for one reason, and that reason is pretty awesome.
In this round you will each be given two sci-fi sub-genres—one -Punk and one not—randomly drawn last night from a hat, which you must then merge together for the purposes of your story. There's also a quote prompt and a super-special deluxe wicked-awesome picture prompt.
Word count: 2,000 to 3,500 words
Deadline: Thursday August 1st, 3:30 PM PST/6:30 PM EST/10:30 PM UTC—(Friday August 2nd, 10:30 AM NZT)

Sound hot? Let's go see these prompts and everyone's two sci-fi sub-genres.
1. All of you must use the following bit of text at some point in your story:
I'm like a tree. My leaves might change color, but my roots are the same.
2. The two sub-genres you must each combine are the following:
