The planet definitely had both water and oxygen, the terraforming teams weren’t just randomly launched, but to what extent we could use both was hard to say without the portable lab up and running. Of the thousands of shuttles launched before we left the mothership, none had sent such a signal. I looked up and saw that it was filled with warm water covered in foam, and a heart-shaped sponge was on the edge of the tub, and I recognized it immediately: a sponge just like this one my grandmother had. I was in a tub with pink suds and gold handles in the middle of an apocalyptic landscape: pieces of the shuttle scattered all over the red rocks, Pauline dead, and me a prisoner of absurd hallucinations.
