Here we have quite a hidden gem. This large conservatory complex used to be a bustling research facility for flora-computer interface. However after losing funding, the complex fell into disarray.

After we got a hold of it, we were unable to get the main computing system working again. During the process of exploring the complex, we have located a backup mechanism which allows us to provide a new executable.

However it seems to reject anything we give it. The only file we managed to find that worked was found in a drive in the head researcher's desk. This binary appears to have no real use, but perhaps you can figure out a way to get something more substantial running...
