What to study

The hub's meta-progression, spent at the bar: artifact points buy skills on a small tree, and the one on offer is not a combat power but a shop discount, with a paragraph of backstory (Iridia and the narrator's shared crew days) doing the selling. The purple accent and the bar backdrop set it apart from the orange mutations tree, the same spend-points grammar in a different currency and a different room. Manual ffmpeg extract at 70.0s in What is Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden (Steam); the scene-change pass missed this shot. No trailer burn-in, caption, or logo on this frame.
