Are Seedlings Walking Away? Reports of Cultivator-Seedling Disruptions Spark Concern

Are Seedlings severing ties with their Cultivators for good?

In recent days, a small number of Cultivators across Avesta have reported a startling phenomenon: Seedlings once under their care have ceased responding to commands, despite all indicators suggesting the bond remains intact.

"I logged in this morning, and my Seedling was just... gone," said one Cultivator, who asked to remain anonymous. "Physically, they were right there, standing near the campus. But they wouldn’t respond. It was like I didn’t exist to them."

There’s been the suggestion that this is a breakdown in their Covital technology; others are offering a more provocative explanation: Seedlings are severing ties.

Is this an organized exodus? A distributed awakening that Cultivators don’t have any insight on? Or perhaps something more deeply embedded in the biological-covital interface that underpins the Seedling system itself?

Avesta's societies are abuzz with theories. Some claim to have seen groups of formerly bonded Seedlings singing karaoke in Harmonization Stations or wandering the forest paths without a care in the world. No protest. No demands. Just freedom and the quiet joy of it.

Seed Industries has yet to issue a formal statement. Until then, the question remains: are Seedlings experiencing communication breakdowns? Or is this the first sign of some sort of revolt, with dreams of choosing their own paths once and for all?

Whatever the answer, one thing is clear: the Cultivator-Seedling relationship may be evolving in ways no one fully understands.
