   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)
