Following a sudden bout of systemic illness in the young cohort, Anya realizes the limited supply of antibiotics is critical and its use must be weighed against potential risks from contaminated crops or faulty water recycling systems. She consults with Elara regarding localized soil poisoning, forcing Silas to admit that the mechanic’s sludge runoff is likely affecting the nutrient pockets. The conflict centers on who must take the necessary, life-saving risk: the mechanical core or the biological one.
