   i. sent on a rocket into earth orbit   
  ii. forced to land on foreign planet    
 iii. searched for traces of other life   
      like ours, feels abandoned          
  iv. clunky build, rugged, problems      
      with dust on solar panels           
   v. pioneer experiment, not enough      
      belief in its success for precious  
      precious materials to be alotted    
  vi. finds water. finds fucking water    
                                          
  
                                          
 on earth at this  time the soil has been 
 contaminated  by   previous  generations 
 attempts   at   large-scale   industrial 
 farming.    bespoke    chemicals     are 
 manufactured   and  added   to   "clean" 
 (dead)    soil   before   each    yield. 
                                          
 these  chems  are  made  to  create  the 
 correct environments  for the  plants to 
 grow,   correcting   the   afterburn  of 
 metabolites  from   the   chems  of  the 
 previous yield.                          
                                          
 it is not  uncommon  for  each iteration 
 to leave  a  baseline  different  to the 
 last. new  correcting  chems need to  be 
 created then  for each time the  soil is 
 to be used.                              
                                          
 larger-scale forms.                      
              farms.                      
              they would employ their own 
              chemists (wizard-like       
                        profession)
