They say Captain Ramirez has a secret hydroponics bay in her quarters, growing fresh fruit while we're stuck with mystery stew.

Heard the elected officials lobbied for bigger windows in their quarters. Guess they need a better view to watch the little people squabble.

There's a rumor some engineers figured out a way to expand their quarters. They're charging a fortune for 'modifications'.

They say Deck 3 is a nightmare. All those screaming kids make it impossible to get any rest.

Teachers on Deck 1 supposedly go easy on the Captain's kids. No wonder they always ace their tests.

Deck 4 is known for all the hookups. Guess people get a little stir-crazy living in those tiny spaces.

Some nights, lights flicker on and off in the Agora after everyone's supposed to be asleep. Makes you wonder what the politicians are up to.

They say on the anniversary of the first claustrophobia outbreak, you can hear the ghosts of those who went crazy whispering in the vents.

This isn't the first mission with separate habitation decks. Some old-timers whisper about a similar ship, one that vanished decades ago. They say the crew got paranoid, suspicious of each other, and the whole thing ended in a bloody mutiny.

I heard whispers about a fight between Deck 2 and Deck 3 over who gets more resources during an emergency. Seems some folks are already looking out for number one.

They say the different decks were chosen for a reason. Deck 1, all the engineers and technicians. Deck 2, the scientists and doctors. Deck 3, security and officials. Deck 4…well, they get to keep their families close. Makes you wonder who they think is most important...or most expendable...when things go south.

They expect me not to lose it when my hab's right next to the twenty-four hour nursery!?

Yeah, and these are the same people that expect us to carry guns. We're living the dream, man.

There's a secret society of hydroponics technicians who meet up in the bays at night. They call themselves the 'Green Thumbs' and supposedly know all the secrets of the genetically modified crops.

Some folks believe the Green Thumbs are planning a rebellion. They'll use their control over the food supply to force changes on the leadership.

There's talk of a new illness spreading among the hydroponics technicians. They call it the 'Green Sickness' because of the strange green tint their skin gets. They say it's caused by some new plant they're experimenting with.

The Observation Dome air feels...off. Some folks swear it makes them drowsy or gives them headaches. Maybe they're pumping something into the atmosphere to keep us docile.

The Verdant Spheres are all a big show. They make us think we're self-sufficient, growing our own food and enjoying nature, but it's all a carefully controlled illusion. We're still dependent on supplies from Sirius, and who knows what will happen if those shipments stop.

The birds in the Observation Dome aren't real. They're drones, watching us, monitoring our behavior.

The stars you see in the Observation Dome aren't real either. It's all a holographic simulation. They're hiding something from us out there.

I overheard someone talking about a leak in the hydroponics bay. They say the crops are being contaminated by something in the recycled water system. It's only a matter of time before everyone gets sick.

The food from the Hydroponics Bays is...off. It tastes bland, lacks nutrients. They're messing with the genes to make it grow faster, but it's not good for us.

Late at night, when everyone else is asleep, you can hear a faint humming coming from the Observation Deck. Some say it's the malfunctioning machinery, others swear it's the ghost of a worker who died during construction, forever trapped within the artificial sky.

Jonny, who work in the Hydroponics Bays, was exposed to strange radiation from the genetically modified plants. he's slowly mutating, becoming part plant. That's why he never leaves those labs anymore.

The real reason we can't see the bottom of the Hydroponics Bays? It's not just another level for storage. There's something down there, something big and alive, and they're using the plants to feed it.
