Melissa decided that she would take a sample of the plant. Plucking off a stem from the fern-like plant, Melissa placed it inside a petri-dish. Closing it tightly, she took out her pen and labelled: Not food sample but plant found in hanging in the air.

She remembered seeing the same plant in the Main Seating area and in fact, around the Atrium. She decided to look through the research books and see what plant this was and whether it affected humans in any way. But that was for later.

For now, she placed the sample aside and went around collecting samples of the food still left on the dessert table.
