- ANALYSIS: Edible angaran fruit colloquially known as "quilloa".
Once Ryder scans the third plant, Lexi contacts Ryder, saying that the fruits scanned are edible; even better news, potentially, most of the food grown on Aya could be edible for Milky Way species. However, she needs a sample to be sure.
Retrieve A Fruit Sample From The Market
Talk to Felaan at the Marketplace. She explains that whole fruit are a luxury for angara, as while one fruit could feed one person, turning it into nutrient paste could feed 20. She'll send Ryder to talk to Roaan Aabel at The Tavetaan about nutrient paste, as well as giving Ryder a few as gifts.
Investigate Nutrient Paste In The Tavetaan
Roaan will explain the nutrient paste system the angara have and will happily send samples of it to the Tempest.
- Nutrient Paste Vats
- DATA: Food processing equipment composed of: Alloy shell: 21%, Electronic components: 5%, Ingestible organic material: 74%
Allow Time For Lexi To Analyze Food Samples
It doesn't take much time at all for Lexi to get back to Ryder. She says that the samples have all proved edible, and that the Nexus now has a source of food. The mission is then complete.
