She would never see Earth again. But she would never be alone. Y/N The cold from her fingertip spread up her arm
The dome’s lights flickered. A new interface bloomed over her screen—not the sterile blue of Gaia, but a deep, organic green. Text scrolled:
AGRICA v1.0.1 LOADED. PHYTO-INTELLIGENCE ACTIVE. QUERY: TORRES, ELENA. DO YOU WISH TO FEEL THE SOIL?
