Okay. I looked at the laboratory and the room next to it. [he doesn't remember what the conservatex is called] When I first walked in there, I noticed that the plants had been picked at. Like, someone was picking their leaves, and stuff. I submitted pictures for the ones I didn't know, but I at least recognized the wheat.

After that, I found... This thing. [gestures to the alembic] It stood out because it had some liquid in it. I'm not sure what it's used for, or what the liquid is.

[ask questions, he supposes]
