Biological Research Station

The GS-2000 Biological Research Station is an Artificial personality in the Big MT

Background
The holodisk to activate this station can be found in the X-22 botanical garden. One can talk to it once it is brought back online. The Biological Research Station refers to the Courier as "baby" regardless of gender and makes many innuendos in reference to their "seed."

Quests

 * All My Friends Have Off Switches: The Biological Research Station is one of the appliances the Courier has to retrieve the backup module for.
 * Field Research: After having restored its personality, one may bring back dried seeds for it to plant.

Other interactions
The Biological Research Station will plant 11 types of seeds from the samples provided to it, which will sprout into plants, which can be harvested. The plants can be harvested every three in-game days that have passed in the Big MT. Conveniently, the plants are the same types that are able to be given to the biological research station in exchange for Salient Green on a 1 for 1 basis.

The following types of plants are grown by, and can be exchanged for, Salient Green at the Biological Research Station:

Bugs

 * Sometimes the white horsenettle plant can glitch causing it to fall right through the dirt, disappear upon touching the floor, and then spawn above the dirt- it will repeat this as long as you're in the room. If this is happening it is still possible to harvest the plant, although it will be difficult.
 * At some point in the game, the Sink CIU won't refresh its shop inventory and caps; additionally, the research station won't respawn plants for harvest even after 3 in-game days.
 * The inventory and plant spawning (both initial and respawn) require the cell to be unvisited for at least three in-game days. Since this won't happen unless one repetitively waits for 24 hours outside the cell, both will nearly always appear to be broken even if they are actually working.
