[The Vine opens on a setting that is uncharacteristic of the Gardens. It appears to be a dimly lit laboratory. The walls are pale gray, with dark screens that flicker with green, displaying data that may or may not be meaningless. There is a low humming, from the lights or machinery.

She is like me, in some ways. She claims we have the same mother.

I don't know if I could help, but I would be happy to try...

Someone appeared here, who--I don't know her, but she knows me, and our connection is undeniable. However, she is unwell. I'm looking after her for the time being.

So, um, the screaming is...
