   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)
