Scientific Research Campus
Botanic Institute
A sprawling research campus dedicated to botanical and agricultural sciences, its interlocking hothouses and climate-controlled labs hum with artificial warmth. Tall glass panes reflect the dim emergency lighting as gurneys and specimen tables crowd the corridors, each surface holding plants held in stasis or early bloom. The air carries the heavy scent of earth and ozone, the low thrum of air scrubbers competing with distant pumps circulating filtered moisture. A sense of urgency permeates the quiet—staff move in tight teams despite the late hour, their expressions grave. The Institute’s purpose is esoteric, its public face dedicated to preserving endangered flora, yet its vaults and restricted sections harbor secrets that now demand armed response.
