One of the two [Viral Bloom](Viral_Bloom) Nodes can be found under the Spider Dome. This node must be cleansed in order to obtain the ability to cleanse one of the [Angel Comb](Angel_Comb)'s chambers and use the Gene Donor to get the [Heat Tolerance](Heat_Tolerance) [Adaptation](Adaptations).   ## Location  -The Spider Dome is located west of the [Lifepod](Lifepod) on the edge of the [Shallows](Shallows) at a depth of 30m.+The Spider Dome is located west of the [Lifepod](Lifepod) on the edge of the [Shallows](Shallows) biome at a depth of 30m.   *   **Coordinates:** -358367, 443123  -## Data Bank Entry+## Databank Entries  -**Spider Dome**- +### Spider Dome > An unusual coral structure. > > — Sinkhole beneath coral mass releases an anomalous strain of Proteavirus > > — Coral mass grows towards highest concentration of this virus, obstructing its flow > > — Coral mass emits virophages, viruses that target and destroy the anomalous virus > > Further investigation into viral ecology recommended.  -**Wander - "Spider Dome Report"**- +### Wander - "Spider Dome Report" > Field notes, Wander, not Ander. Out here for Nahema, learning to be a biologist. I have one spare tank, my reprint site is Habitat, zazazaza. > > So. The ocean is full of Proteavirus, and now we are full of it too. I asked Nahema, is it a disease like kharaa? And she said, no, don't you know the difference between virus and bacteria? And I said, give me a break, I learned science off my PDA. > > But there are different kinds of Proteavirus. Look here. Look how the coral grew over this sinkhole. Like a spider. Like a plug...and it's emitting virophages. Virus that kills other virus. > > One strain of Proteavirus is in that coral spider. The normal strain. And it's trying to stop a different strain coming up out of that hole. Nahema calls it the bloom strain. > > Why would a virus want to kill another virus?
