Module 5

Module 5 is a curious case. Abandoned only years after the initial Kayuratan takeover, the module's vegetation and life support systems began to fail. The life support systems were no longer properly scrubbing the air of carbon dioxide while the vegetation systems began causing overgrowths of natural fauna. With an increase in CO2 content and soil nutrients and a decrease in human control over the trees, bushes, grasses, and other plant life, Module 5 soon became rampantly overgrown.

With decades of accelerated invasive growth, much of Module 5's interior has been overrun with vegetation. Branches of trees twist and twine around structural frames while bulkheads become enshrouded in a layer of green. Even if the plants now provide more oxygen than humans could ever need, only a few hundred people dare to live in the two kilometer wide module. Fewer still dare to wander into the lower levels where it is said that plants have become so rampant that they have pierced through the bulkhead and have caused floods. Some even say that the sea water that floods in is taken into the system of roots, vines, and branches until they end up in other parts of the module as pools of fresh water.
