Okay, so one of my Weird Plant Stories is a tradition among high-level engineers that began on Old Earth but has adherents in... probably every SEEDS ship. Let us call it "Spontaneous Machine-Religion." If humans are not given a religion to follow, it seems like they'll inevitably make it up and Plants HELP. No, I am not talking about out and out Plant-cults you might have heard of, but something far stranger and coming from SCIENTIFIC minds. So, some Plants are open to receiving sacrifices. I've seen it myself. What I mean is, some caught on that some Plants will have a higher output of their specific creation if the people who are watching them do something a little superstitious. This stuff always starts as pranks and jokes. The "Let's tell the guy who's a virgin that we need to prick his finger because the Plant runs on the blood of virgins" or "We need to burn this donut from our morning work-dozen at the foot of the Plant bulb on an altar to show her that she is our co-worker." Maybe they do not eat and technically do not require anything in tribute, but the Plants become USED to it. I think they develop a feeling of contentedness to their engineers this way, it makes them feel acknowledged. Because it WORKS. Whenever - down to the last Plant - a Plant that has been given little tributes stops receiving tribute for whatever reason - a hard new boss, a lack of resources, the office virgin getting a girlfriend, whatever... the Plant lowers their output. Without fail. Sometimes they even do less output than original programming or they get...finicky... and problems arise in the system. Older engineers try to tell newer ones "don't even start" with the silly altar-tribute games because once it starts, it will not end. _ R. S.

"We prepare everything fresh from local ingredients," Abdu said, walking us around the Plant cafeteria. "We have grocers who bring us in-harvest vegetables and organic meats. The menu will change every week. So far, we've only used this cafeteria once. But, it is ready for when we open."

"I'm Tena Ezera Joas," the head chef said as she posed for her photograph. "I owned a high-class restaurant in Abebe Etefu. Abdu was actually a frequent patron."

We asked her how she felt about cooking for a larger population, and she laughed confidently. "The recipes are the same," she said, "It is just the quantities of ingredients that are different."

We toured the Plant locker rooms, including the wash stalls and wall-mounted showers. Everything was gleaming, fresh, and new.

Abdu led us down another hallway. "Now, a little more serious. I am taking you to see the decontamination area and the decontamination pods. These areas of the Plant were designed with the newest technologies in radiation suppression. Just do not turn on any of the nozzles."

We entered a long room that contained individual doors. "We decided not to do an open decontamination format. There is one pod for every staff member. So, you can imagine that there are a lot of pods. That is why we are glad that Wedefīti is a mile per side!"

"I am not supposed to do this," he continued, "but we still have time to re-sanitize the room before we open." He pressed a button outside one of the pods, and the lock hissed. Then, he opened the door so we could walk inside.

"The front area is for full-suit decontamination. The back is for skin decontamination. Technicians will leave their suits in the pod when they exit; the suits are cleaned as the pod undergoes its own sanitation. In the meantime, we will provide a new suit in the technician's locker."

We left the room, and the door hissed shut. "Come," he said, "I will take you to see the lab."

"Every Plant must have a good chemistry lab. The lab technicians have already been working for the last month. If you look to the right, you can see that they started by collecting samples of local flora. This is so we can start measuring the effects of Wedefīti on the local environment and make necessary changes."

The chemists introduced themselves but were wary of our notebooks and watched carefully when we wrote things down. Pictured clockwise: Esyete Rada Befikadu, Helen Melku Gedarm, and Eyoab Goytom Atikem. Pictured below: Shashu Neguse Giday. None of the scientists would tell us the specifics of what they were doing, so we assumed they were working on the project Abdu had mentioned: radiation and local ecology.
