Characters will immediately find that emergency power is still being supplied to the area, and that the artificial gravity is still active.

Seed storage is found down on the bottom agricultural level, beyond the (currently rather overgrown) hydroponic vegetable and fruit beds. The area will be secured to agriculture nanites. The seeds are stored in a huge chilled area, aisles of large, white, numbered drawers. Unfortunately the seed catalogue, usually accessed on an interface console at the store's door, will give only errors. Characters will be forced to choose which seeds to take by memory alone, not only for particular plants or crops, but which climate they have been genetically modified to grow in.
