Neat rows of gardening tables were organized so that they encircled a main podium, little more than a raised mound of soil that the already tall form of Professor Madrona stood upon. The atmosphere of the lab was muggy, with ample moisture to maintain the plants within, and much warmer than the chilly desert outside. Easternmost Greenhouse

The first day of class was always a little unnerving, particularly with an instructor as uncanny as the neti. She waited, un-moving and statuesque in the center of the greenhouse, as students gathered and found their seats. The tables had roughly five seats around each of them, though students formed groups smaller or larger than that based on social preferences and with no additional feedback from their seemingly inanimate professor.
Despite her lack of motion, it seemed as if those large strange blue-green eyes followed each of them wherever they went. And indeed, they were being watched no matter where they might stray within the greenhouse, though perhaps not by the source they immediately suspected and instead by watchers more nefarious and tiny. As their various timepieces struck Korriban noon, the neti suddenly animated.
"Welcome to my class, students. All of you are here to learn more about galactic botany- whether to serve as scientists, assassins with a cunning appreciation for poisons, or perhaps just to round out your other skills."
She swayed, sweeping her eyes across the gathered acolytes and turning in an almost unnatural looking 360 degree bend of her long neck. The smile that crept across her features did not reach her eyes, long fingered hands gestured to the tables and their contents.
"Laid before you are two varieties of plants. Your datapads have been sent the relevant field-guide. For your first class, you must work together to identify the two different plants before you. After doing so, you must carefully extract the venom and the acid from these distinct specimen respectively. You will be graded on identification, extraction, and preservation of components. The use of alchemy is strongly encouraged with one of these two species, so be sure to read carefully. Your groups may be no larger than six students, as I want all of you to get some hands on practice."
The woman un-wound herself for the bizarre twist she'd undergone in observing them all. A'Mia clasped her hands behind her back and looked at them all expectantly.
"Proceed! I am available for questions, of course."
