ZIP: We can live here

Databank Text

This is the place. We should live down here. I’ll convince you all!

Tuba, you want new flavors to cook? The jelly rings are full of sap — it tastes like fermented caramel.

Dr. Wu, the vent organisms are primary producers! No light needed to grow them. Nutritionist, sustain thyself!

Sean, the rockbore’s fractures go down into volcanic bedrock. Don’t you want to see how far?

Iso, if you and your minions are so tough, you should try living in boiling water!

Mantis, boss, you wanted a safer place to park the biobeds? Right here. And it’s got free geothermal powers.

Sophie, you’re afraid we’ll provoke the Tailings? Well, I’ve been visiting for weeks and they NEVER come down here. They’re afraid of it!

Nahema, oh, girl, you’d hate this place. Because it means you’re wrong! This world IS fit for humans. We can thrive here. Come down and see! I can hear the whole planet…
