An imminent invasion derails a 500-year-old terraforming project. No one, except a small group of scientists, understands the threat's true nature and its implications for the future of their civilization.

This story evolved out of a discussion on James Lovelock‘s Gaia hypothesis that the earth is a single complex organism, the recent announcement of the creation of a synthetic genome, and a story that appeared about the possibility of life on Titan, based on an entirely different chemistry than our own.
