Doctor Reveals the Weed's Target

The gas distribution center is identified as the seaweed’s next target, the rig’s most critical infrastructure, and the potential location of the nerve center. The Doctor’s deduction that the weed will attack it here elevates its status from a strategic asset to a battleground. Its overrun would cripple the entire platform, making its defense the team’s top priority. The object’s involvement underscores the high stakes: failure to protect it means global contamination and catastrophe.

Before: Operational but under imminent threat from the seaweed’s coordinated advance.

After: Now the primary focus of defensive efforts, with the team scrambling to locate the nerve center before it falls.
