In 2006 Devlin emailed Russell about that workers were arriving to construct a leisure resort complex in the advanced evolution biodome called Club Eden, which Russell was not happy about due to putting an end to his Synth experiments. This angered Devlin who noted that he owned the project and Russell, and that it was seen as his baby at Subtech, so he would reassert his power if need be. In the lead-up to the 10th anniversary of the Biosphere 4, Russell sent Devlin his proposed speech which pushed environmental issues.
He pumps oxygen in killing his creations, and he fears what he has unleashed.
After discovering that the Synths began attacking their babies within the growth chamber, Russell feared that he should have heeded Sarah's warnings though noted that oxygen could defeat the strongest of Synths. However, in 2005 he became too accustomed to the quick feedback loop of the biodome, and let the latest variant - Synth8 - be planted into the Biodome despite warnings from Sarah regarding their instability. In 2003, Russell shared his research regarding the Synth4 plants to his colleague Sarah Parish, and asked for her help with the research. This became his singular project, to the point where he almost eradicated the rainforest biodome due to a fungal outbreak. The Biosphere 4 'popped' to become a sealed environment in 2000, and Russell began the second phase of his project, to create Synths. By buying him out, Devlin now compromised Russell and effectively removed the last obstacle in their way. Devlin and Russell had previously been Subtech's employees in the 1970s, but when it was revealed their project to allow people to live at ocean depths for months was to allow the mining of Earth's seabeds, Russell left while Devlin stayed. It was officially announced that Sam Devlin would become the sole funder of the Biosphere 4 research facility when his company Subtech, a subsidiary of Subsea Technologies Corporation, bought out the project. Russell's attention turned to his project Biosphere 4 - an accelerated evolution biodome to house the Synths - and despite his reservations decided to sell to Subtech to ensure its completion. In 1995, it was reported that top secret construction work was happening around the biosphere location, protected by local government forces, and by August 1996 the three primary biodomes were sealed. In actuality, Russell had retreated to Mt Chimborazo and began to commence work on the biodomes, and lobbied the government to aid this project.
By abandoning and sabotaging the project, Russell caused a scandal. The Russell Group was in the process of pushing Sanctuary Initiative legislation to save the oceans, but to the world at large, it seemed that without their leader the group lost influence and momentum. Russell's outlandish statements were ridiculed by the press, and to the world the plans were shelved when in 1992 Russell pulled the plug and abruptly resigned in order to avoid his public commitments and instead work on "the one key issue we now face". As lead of the Russell Group, he soon announced that he aimed to use the facility to develop a new type of vegetation called Bio-Engineered Synthetic Hybrids (Synths) that would combat the rising levels of CO 2. According to Russell, it would be an "enormous sealed environment, capable of identifying current research into the processes of our ecosystem". Plot Background context Īt the height of his career, celebrated ecologist and environmental campaigner Professor Alan Russell announced a Biosphere 4 project in 1990 in the Ecuadorian slopes of Mount Chimborazo as a follow-up to the Arizonian Biosphere 2.
