Gas Plant
The ever-mellow Gas Plant. Packed with a stash of General Vapour that's just begging to be gassified. With a love of the murky and mystical, Gas Plants can often be found in totally far out spaces.

The Shape of the World
Gas Plant
This time… One of the great Lemmish Wanderers, Birdie, was passing through, on her way from Groddle Forest to the sand dunes of Hyperia. And she passed on a piece of truth. You want to hear that truth, friend?
You
Hit me.
Gas Plant
I’m not sure you’re ready for the truth, friend.
You
I’m ready.
Gas Plant
Can you handle the truth?
You
Getonwithit.
Gas Plant
She told me - and you might want to hold on to your mind right now, because I’m about to blow it straight outta your darn ears… wait… What were we talking about? No, wait: I’m there, man. I’m there. She told me, Birdie told me, that the world she journeyed around… was round. ROUND.
You
Oh.
Gas Plant
No, man. Round… But outside-in. So if Cosma suddenly loses interest, and everything up goes down and everything down goes up, you don’t fall OFF, or OUT the world, man: YOU FALL UP, and YOU FALL IN.
You
I have no idea what you're saying right now.
Gas Plant
I told you you couldn’t handle my truth.
You
*sigh*
Flashbacks of the Gas Plant
Gas Plant
You remind me of a man.
You
What man?
Gas Plant
The man with the power.
You
What power?
Gas Plant
The power of thingy.
You
Thingy?
Gas Plant
What now?
You
You said…
Gas Plant
You remind me of a man.
You
*sigh*
Gas Plant
No, I’m serious. This world has been through an infinite number of eras, man, eras upon eras upon eras, and I’ve seen more Glitches and Mabbites, Cosmapolitans, Friends and Zillots than you can imagine, so when I say you remind me of a man, trust me, I’m good for it.
You
But which man?
Gas Plant
The man with the power.
You
I’m not doing this.
Gas Plant
Seriously, friend. He was some kind of? I don’t know - Chief Lemmite Directional Officer, I think. Whatever the case. He passed this way often. And he’d want me to tell you: the maps you have? They barely scratch the surface. The places you really want to go to? They don’t have no map.
You
Like?
Gas Plant
I could not tell you, my friend. That’s classified information. High-powered Lemmite supplicants only. I wish I knew.
You
I see.
Flashbacks of the Gas Plant
Gas Plant
Woah. I’m getting a strong deja vu. Are you getting deja vu?
You
I’ve been here before, if that’s what you mean?
Gas Plant
No. Like, I wasn’t talking to YOU, it was someone else. And we may not have been talking. I may have dreamed it.
You
Great story.
Gas Plant
No! Wait! I remember! It was some time in the fifth Fire Age, when Cosma drew the suns in to punish… man, I can’t remember… someone? For, y’know, something? And as a result, the whole world burned for an era?
You
Right?
Gas Plant
Anyway, it was as hotter than hell and twice as squishy, and butterflies were falling out of the skies like mumbling blue rain, and this young Grendalinian walked past, and he gave me what little water he had in his flask, and he said “Gas, my old friend…”
You
Yes?
Gas Plant
“… Something something something something.” Cannot for the life of me remember exactly what he said. Man, it was deep though. And you know what?
You
What?
Gas Plant
He was, like, TOTALLY right.
You
Great. Thanks.
