What kind?

[lefteros]

One's a SeeD, while the other is just a seed...

You're still referring to that letter, so maybe you mean the former.

[off_beet]

...I am finding myself very confused by this place.

[lefteros]

Mmm. Many begin that way.

I think that, most likely, you're looking for someone who has graduated from a Cadet... they call these graduates SeeDs.

I don't think that any of them are vegetables.
