Katlas Eduard - Applied terraforming

Imagine a grain. A simple grain, a small seed of a wild species, not even wheat, but just some wild grass. Imagine the dead brown soil in which this grain lies. Brick colored soil. Soil that had never felt moisture for hundreds of thousands of years before. Introduced? The grain lies in this soil, dead, lifeless, as lifeless as the stones around it. It doesn't have enough water, air or heat to germinate. The sun is almost invisible, and when it peeks through clouds of dust, it shines lifelessly, and seems to give almost no light or heat. Dust storms are the main weather report here. For today, for this season and for the entire next decade. But the grain lies in the soil, and, as before, is waiting for something. So... the time for this sprout has come.
