Our planet was once known as a thriving one. A place where life burst from ever corner. Now, we're just a pit stop in the galaxy. One of hundreds of inhabited rocks. We were plagued by an alien flora that burrowed just above our bedrock. It lives in the parent material and comes out when the sun goes down.

Basically, the plant kills every live thing it touches. Except other plants. Well, other plants that aren't invasive. By the time we found out about this foreign intruder, it was too late and extremely hard to eradicate.

It consumed our planet.

While it is normally safe to travel during the day, people only get around by levitators or flying pods. Levitators are great for short distances but you need a craft to get get further. Crafts are larger and can carry more than one person.

We have rebuilt our smaller structures on posts. Underneath we planted species of plants that thrive without sunlight. This helped keep the wrath of the invader at bay.

Our family dwelling is multi-generational. We've got grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all sharing the same pod. It can get busy and crowded but it's our space.

My home is on a small rock known to us as Rubrum. However, its nickname throughout the solar system is Mars.
