- I’m trying to find a way to grow them here. Audensus went extinct on my planet long ago. If we could bring them back to life here, well, it would be a dream come true.

- Dialogue
- Audensus is far from invasive. As it is, they won’t grow at all, except in incubation chambers. But if I can genetically modify them to fit into the local biome, they might have a chance.

- Well, I’m no scientist, but I can tell you about the environment and the plants that thrive here. But if we do this, we have to make sure that whatever comes of this project isn’t a danger to the habitat.

- Why do you grow it if it requires so much work?

- Dialogue
- Well, it’s not so much work if you know what you’re doing. In the right environment, Phodensis grows quite quickly. It’s just particular. And besides, it’s a very useful plant.

- It gives back more than it takes, enriching the soil so that the plants around it thrive. Like an accelerant to the habitat. It is well worth the work.

- A seed vault was created when industrialization was causing havoc on our planet. As more species became endangered, there was a push to conserve them.

- Seeds were preserved in the hope that we would one day be able to bring the extinct species back. And that’s what we were trying to do.

- Dialogue
- We thought we had finally found a home for them, but we ended up here, instead. This is their last chance. Bringing them back altered is better than having them cease to exist altogether.

- To me, it was. I’m a botanist, you see. I managed to preserve some plants from the ship I came here on. I’ve tried taking them out of cryo but they don’t seem to like this dimension.

- I wanted to get some help from a local. There’s a gardener over on Liwev that’s renowned for his green thumb. They say he hasn’t found a plant he couldn’t grow. And he’s generous with his knowledge, too.
