Flowers on the Lake

Damn it! We've already successfully connected the Silver Gate through the lake surface, and the enormous flower blooming in the center of the lake is undoubtedly a projection from the rift space! But guess what? Captain Howard I insists that we present more reliable data. What the hell can I do? Row a boat over and pluck the flower? Well, I have to admit that there are some negative impacts of the project, like the obvious Stardust pollution, the gathering of aberrations, and the instability, but that guy should not just dismiss our outstanding work!
