The Hydroponics Delta is a Lost Sector on Neptune located inside of a building in the Zephyr Concourse that contains a food production plant for the Neomuni. It houses a science facility that holds organic plants as well as holograms of plants. The Guardian's task is to take back the facility from Valus Dravusk, Shadow Legion and their team of Cabal that currently occupy it.
Gameplay
Players make their way through a series of rooms and hallways guarded by Shadow Legion Cabal. Most of the rooms will require all Cabal forces to be defeated for the next room to become available. The final room is where the boss Valus Dravusk can several cabal troops be found. As you fight, Dravusk will keep always be summoning Cabal reinforcements to aid them in combat. Once the Centurion Valus had been defeated, Cabal will stop spawning and any remaining will continue to fight until they too have been slain. The chest will also be available to access upon the boss's defeat.
Transcript
The Guardian discovers the entrance to the Hydroponics Delta and enters
- The Ghost: If my telemetry is right there's a whole bunch of Cabal in there, but I can't tell why. It looks like any other building from the outside. It's probably a good idea to check it out.
or
- The Ghost: Sid, it's us. Can you tell us anything about this building, and what the Cabal would want with it?
- Viragni "Sid" D'Sydney: I see your position. Oh, that's one of the hydroponic tower farms. It's one of the big hubs of food production here in Neomuna.
- The Ghost: So pretty important, then.
- Viragni "Sid" D'Sydney: That's an understatement. Get 'em out of there, will ya?
The Guardian bypasses a maintenance room filled with pipes carrying glowing fluids throughout the facility
- The Ghost: Looks like some kind of food production. If the Cabal mess this up, it'll be bad for Neomuna. Let's make them think twice about this.
or
- The Ghost: Not that food production isn't valuable, but is there something more going on here? This is a lot of Cabal.
- Viragni "Sid" D'Sydney: All farms like this have a central parent tree. It's hardy rootstock with a couple dozen genetic strains in it. Think of it like a plant backup drive.
- The Ghost: So if you lose some plants, you can just get more clippings?
- Viragni "Sid" D'Sydney: Right you are, and it's protected by some heavy-duty climate control hardware. So it's not defenseless, but it's not military spec either. So that Shadow Legion could do real damage. We can only lose so many farms before we're unable to support the people in the CloudArk anymore.
The Guardian completes the Lost Sector
- The Ghost: This is more exhausting than it used to be, like drawing water from a well instead of a tap. Did losing the Traveler take something vital away from me? Or am I still just... sad?
or
- The Ghost: I'm glad we're still helping the Neomuni, but part of me feels... hollow without the Traveler. It's always been a presence within me before. I was angry when I discovered it gave the Hive the Light. And confused. But I never wanted... We have to find out what the Witness has done!
or
- The Ghost: That was a really nice tree, too. I'm glad it's still right where it's supposed to be.
or
- The Ghost: I wonder if they'd let you try some of those fruits as thanks?
or
- The Ghost: I know it's a functional building, but the plants really are pretty. Even the nutrient slurry is too... once you get used to it.
or
- The Ghost: If it wasn't for the Shadow Legion, this would seem like a little piece of the Golden Age. Cutting-edge technology used for peace and prosperity. I'm glad we got them out of there.
or
- The Ghost: OK, we've got all the Cabal cleaned up. The farm's running undisturbed, at least for the immediate future.
- Viragni "Sid" D'Sydney: Peachy! We'll take that win as long as we can make it work. Good job out there!
or
- Viragni "Sid" D'Sydney: Here I was, coming to ask you to chase those Cabal off, and you're already done! Ha! Much appreciated, Guardian!
- The Ghost: Oh, it was no trouble. We're just happy to help.
