From that point on the plants became obsessed with the idea of an impending apocalyptic event called 'the Gray Tempest.' Their formerly peaceful religion soon spiraled into a suicide cult. Within a matter of months one of the galaxy's most ancient lifeforms had wilted away for fear of a doomsday that would never come, despite repeated attempts at forced rehydration.
