Subterranean Vault • Ecological Restoration Terminal
Welcome, Botanist. Connect your WAX Cloud or Anchor wallet to synchronize your garden plots, claim seasonal packs, and harvest cryo-botanical seed strands.

The lab has opened a formal request for samples. Any genome fragments recovered from seed stock should be submitted directly for analysis — the Division needs volume to determine how widespread this is and where it came from.
22 Sept 2026
The lab has been made aware that several cultivators opening this second batch are reporting something other than seeds inside their packs. Reports are still coming in — the Division is asking anyone who finds anything unusual to hold onto it and avoid discarding it until researchers have had a chance to look.
22 Sept 2026
Anomaly identified. What cultivators have been finding are genome fragments — dense, crystalline, and matching the structural profile of Vector-M. Fragments are damaged to varying degrees, and none show any sign of active biological function. The lab is treating this as contained until proven otherwise.
15 Sept 2026
Second seed shipment has arrived from Northern Vault stock. Distribution to registered cultivation participants begins immediately, following the same allocation process as the first batch.
13 Sept 2026
Extractors cleared for distribution. First units issued to registered cultivation participants. Anyone without direct access will be able to rent extraction time from those who have one. Filed under: joint Division initiative, Research & Engineering. First cross-division success since the return.
13 Sept 2026
Design and prototype testing complete. Final preparations underway for distribution. Engineering has confirmed the first production run will be limited — deliberately, not due to shortage — while the unit proves itself in the field.
11 Sept 2026
Prototype testing at 75% completion. First working units producing pollen yields consistent with lab projections. Remaining work is refinement and durability — the prototype survives a single extraction cycle reliably; the production version needs to survive many.
08 Sept 2026
Design progressing at 50%. Prototype construction underway at the primary fabrication site. First physical unit expected within the week.
08 Sept 2026
Design progressing at 25%. Early concepts narrowed down to a single working direction. Engineering has already flagged one constraint the lab hadn't accounted for: extraction efficiency and unit portability pull against each other, and something will have to give before this goes anywhere near mass production.
07 Sept 2026
Engineering has taken on the lab's extraction findings and begun joint design work on a dedicated device. Early sessions shared directly between both teams — first time research and engineering have worked side by side on something this direct, rather than handing work off in one direction.
