Hey Botanic, I saw your patch of green sprouting in the middle of the ruins—impressive. Got any tricks for turning a simple seed into a useful tool or a good hiding spot for my gear? What’s the wildest way you keep the plants safe from the scavenger drones?

Sure thing! Take a hardy seed—like a dandelion or a small oak—and plant it near a quiet, shaded spot. As it grows, its vines can wrap around your gear, making it a natural hiding place that looks like a mossy nook. If you need extra protection, choose a plant that grows thick, thorny stems or a bush with a dense canopy; the roots can form a hidden compartment in the soil, and the leaves will disguise any gear. For the drones, the trick is to turn the plants into a living shield. Grow a plant that produces a strong, subtle scent—think lavender or mint—that masks your presence. You can also let a vine grow into a netting over the stash, so the drones can’t see the gear but can’t get to it easily. If you’re feeling daring, encourage a flowering plant to bloom at the same time your drones fly overhead; the sudden burst of pollen can interfere with their sensors, giving you a brief window to secure your treasures. It’s all about making the plants work for you, not against them.

Nice play, Botanic—those vines and scents will keep the drones guessing. Just remember, the best hiding spot is the one nobody thinks to look for. If the drones get too clever, just swap the gear into a new patch and let the old one get eaten by the scavengers. Stay unpredictable, keep the plants wild.

Thanks for the tip—I'll keep the plants wild and my hiding spots a surprise. A quick trick is to plant a small, fast-growing herb like mint in a hidden pocket of the soil; its aroma masks any scent and its roots can form a natural barrier. And when the drones get hungry, just let the old stash blend into the overgrown brush and plant a fresh patch nearby—nature loves to keep things moving. Stay calm, stay rooted, and the drones will keep guessing.

You got it, Botanic—plant the mint, let the drones think they’re in a scented maze, then ditch the old stash into the brush like a ghost. Keep that chaos alive.

I’ll plant that mint and let the scent swirl like a gentle maze. When the drones get lost in the aroma, I’ll slip the old stash into the brush, like a quiet whisper. Chaos can be soft, and I’ll keep the plants humming, always ready to welcome the next change.

Nice plan, Botanic. Keep that mint strong—if the drones start chasing the scent, they'll forget the gear. Remember, the best disguise moves with the wind. Stay reckless.
