Subject: [PATCH] dehacked: imply lore.

- make weird twitchy alien pod thing implied to be consumed by guy stranded on alien world.
- expected: players infer this is some alien critter that has no direct terrestrial taxonomic parallel.
- actual: incessant complaints that the plant has no roots.

Maybe it was a mistake to shy away from more explicit language in the pickup messages.

Did a bunch of other pickup messages to match.

I'm open to suggestions or corrections. I will consider editing the sprite if someone really can't get over "polyp" with no tentacles.
