Fallout 27 [Expanded]

A rare oasis of life in Vault 27, the Hydroponics Bay is a sprawling chamber of towering grow racks, nutrient-filled vats, and bioluminescent algae tanks. Artificial sunlight bathes the carefully engineered crops—rows of leafy greens, protein-rich fungi, and genetically modified fruits designed for maximum efficiency. Automated irrigation systems hiss softly as they deliver precisely measured nutrients, each formula optimized for peak productivity. A research station at the center is cluttered with datapads and half-finished experiments—attempts to enhance food yield, accelerate growth, or even create sustenance tailored to boost cognitive function. Despite its serene appearance, the bay is another battleground of intellect, where only the most innovative agricultural minds dictate what the vault eats. Failures are discarded—both the plants and, sometimes, the scientists who tend them.

The chamber is illuminated by artificial sunlight, casting a warm glow over rows of leafy greens and vibrant fruits, while the air is filled with the soft hiss of irrigation systems and the faint luminescence of algae tanks.
