The elusive
Fox Pea Vine can be found deep inside the dark lush forests of the
Stickney crater located on the surface of
Phobos, one of two moons orbiting Mars. Of all the craters dotting the landscape of desolate and cold Phobos, only the Stickney contains life. At this time, it is unknown why this particular crater holds life while others do not, but
astrobiologists theorize it's because the Stickney crater lies near a
mysterious monolith (once spotted by astronaut Buzz Aldrin) that beams a
certain frequency necessary for the creation of life. Why do you think so many of humankind's
attempts at Mars exploration has failed? Because the
Fox Peas chased them away.
