   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)
