Field record

Four hundred miles of living city. The SCA redesigned the entire jungle from the genome up. Buildings grow. Defensive plants eat equipment. Root systems digest basements on timetables nobody fully controls. The architecture and ecosystem are indistinguishable in places.

The Nutrient Interchange at Sector 14 is the single chokepoint. Dr. Lucia Ferreira authorized classified modification CANOPY SHIFT increasing nitrogen-phosphorus ratios 3.2% — actual purpose: modified mineral profile alters bloom-drift chemistry to produce neural-disruptive compound. The modified profile also accelerates unauthorized root-mass growth 400%.
