Encompassing the [Eos Garden] level was a verdant space with an endless expanse of soothing flowers. (V7 p39)
Access[]
As usual, Riki left Iason's residence on the Apex Level and got off the grav elevator on the 30th Level...Walking into the elevator hall.... (V7 p63)
To get to the garden, [one] took passage through another elevator hall [on the 30th Level]. The passageway was an escalator across three floors and every time Riki went through it he felt unease... The elevator hall resembled the one at the Museum of the Guardians. (V7 p59)
Containment[]
Access was unrestricted, but the portal led to a passageway where contaminants from the outside were ruthlessly purged. Sensors were in place to prevent organic matter from exiting the level, not even a petal ever made its way outside. (V7 p39)
Features[]
The garden was an enclosed space but had a pond and brooks, small birds and animals. (V7 p40)
"While you were gone, Riki, blue flowers blossomed everywhere." (V7 p61)
Everything about the garden -- the wind, sunlight, shade -- was all artificial. But the soil, trees, flowers, birds and animals were still organic, even if constructed by the pinnacle of Tanagura technology, which brought extinct animals back to life. (V7 p62)
