Experiment NRT-0001

Experiment NRT-0001 is a plant and unique consumable item

Background
The basis of this experimental plant was a root found by a Brotherhood field scribe at the mouth of a river, and displayed unique chemical properties, prompting the scribe to graft it onto a hardier stock for further testing and hybridization.

The result was a leafy plant with thick roots, and after being determined safe to ingest, it was brewed into "an oddly good tea." Soon after, other samples of the plant began to exhibit a form of bioluminescence. The scribe deduced that the leaf must have restorative properties due to how healthy they felt, but other scribes suggested that the tea should no longer be brewed and that the plant is addictive in nature.

Gameplay
The plant is a purple bioluminescent article with thick roots. It has been named "Glowleaf" by one of the senior scribes aboard the Prydwen. They were using it to make tea and wound up becoming addicted to the substance. After the addiction began to make them agitated with their fellow scribes, the scribe was reassigned.

Locations

 * Three can be taken from the biolab area on the Prydwen.
 * A single plant can be found on the Island, straight west of the Eden Meadows Cinemas map marker. It is located next to an aster and two garden gnomes under a parasol. Since the plant is partially buried underground, it can only be harvested while being crouched.

Behind the scenes
Despite fan theories stating that the plant's similarity to nirnroot proves the Elder Scrolls and Fallout take place in the same universe, Pete Hines denied any connection.
