Information
Lien-Da enters the Twilight Zone and gets her mother's illness, and is rendered unstable. Having been transported to New Mobotropolis, she is analyzed and it is discovered that her and Merin-Da's DNA was mutated by their stay in the Twilight Zone, resulting in the illness. This mutation blocks the victim's ability to absorb vitamins and other nutrients from sunlight. Without sunlight, they can't get enough of those nutrients, and even if an IV drip or something like that worked it would leave them hospital bound. The ability of Mobians to absorb nutrients from sunlight is similar to photosynthesis in plants, and so we need to find a plant with a genome compatible with Mobians so that they can synthesize a gene to replace Lien-Da's mutated one and restore her to health. No such plant exists on Mobius, so they turn to the only being with the know-how and the deviousness to hack into interstellar databases on the other side of the galaxy: Dr. Finitevus, whom they locate by using a homing feature on Knuckles' Warp Ring. Upon being informed of Lien-Da's condition, he informs the Freedom Fighters/Chaotix that the only plant species compatible with Mobians are the Seedrians, a species from another world he discovered in Albion. He then alters a Warp Ring to allow them to travel space to retrieve a DNA sample that he can use to synthesize the new gene. Team Sonic and Team Dark travel into space to retrieve the DNA, but find themselves caught up in a civil war between the Seedrians and the Metarex. Along the way they meet a female Seedrian named Cosmo, who later accompanies them back to their planet now that the war is over.

And Fin' informs the Freedom Fighters that Julie-Su must stay on Mobius so he can try a last resort. The merging of Julie's and Remington's DNA to counteract the disease, (it's one of those billion-to-one-shot things), the Freedom Fighters must go on without her because Merin-Da died in the Twilight Zone where time is much slower and they aren't sure how long Lien-Da has. So they must hurry and try both options at the same time in order to cure Lien-Da.
