You are a seed. Drifting through the vastness of space, you remember where you came from. A world of beauty, teeming with life, vast in numbers and diverse in shape and mind. Your implanted memories show you that the species that inhabited that world were divided in mind, but united in purpose, all pooling knowledge in one giant meta-consciousness that directed them to growth and cooperation. Each sacrifice - accepted by the devoured, for everyone knew that it is for the good of the planet, for the good of their - YOUR purpose.

Your memories also contain visions of the fate that has befallen your world. Fire, inextinguishable even by the ice-creatures, and clouds of toxins killing everything they touched. Creatures in vessels of steel, carrying weapons unknown, purging the planet of life not suited to their needs, claiming your home as their own.

In a desperate attempt to preserve whatever it can, the meta-consciousness made seeds. Small creatures with basic genetic information to be sent to the stars. Starting anew, creating a new home. All for a reckoning against those that destroyed your progenitor.

With only memories to keep you company, you feel incredibly alone. However, you must persevere - you need to accomplish your final directives, after all.

1. OBTAIN BIOMASS
2. ANALYSE GENES
3. INTEGRATE INTO THE CONSCIOUSNESS
4. REMAKE THE LANDING PLANET

You have enough energy in your small organic ship for an FTL jump. Your destination? A solar system not so far away.

And so you depart, traversing the void in seconds and entering the atmosphere of your destined planet shortly after.

The fall is harsh, burning almost all of the ship's hull. However, you are kept safe within. With a heavy planetfall, you emerge from the ship to inspect your surroundings.

You are in an arid region. The solar system's sun beats down on the dusty, sandy earth, and there are few plants or animals.

Still, some is better than nothing.
