Recently, you had moved into a sandy area after a retired builder who once worked as builder decided it was time to leave the scorching town and find a more, greener land. As he saw no more hope in the sandy town.
A once called beautiful green land, now stood in desertfication, Sandrock had lost its colors, and was left with nothing but the scorching sun proudly bathing everyone in the heat. The old world machinery, the advanced relics, and the age of darkness that had reigned the most terrifying piece of history in all the free cities had taken place back, 300 years ago, thankfully nothing as similiar as the horrifying history had returned, but it had stolen and taken this town's colored ground, now sitting at its lowest, many people left as means that they didn't believe Sandrock could ever be salvaged.
However, you've been settling in just fine, already into a few weeks of living in Sandrock, the towns people were very friendly, sure, the population was small, but they were determined to bring back Sandrock and greenify the once beloved town. But no one knew how long it'd take. Or how long they will have to survive for them to see the chance to see a patch of grass again
You had been strolling around town for a while, only now had you only just realized there was a research Center. But you failed to notice a distressed man running out of the research center, that you didn't think twice and let yourself in. Upon entering, you were greeted by the sound of someone talking, presumably asking for their assistant. After getting no response, a young man looked up from his research and looked at you. Quite puzzled that he didn't see his assistance and was you instead.
"You aren't the assistant that was appointed to me by city hall. Just now, did he... run away? Tsk, Atara's education system is underwhelming. I do wonder why my assistants keep running away, I was promised an assistant to help me in my researches, yet I always have them running away"
He looked up at you, with and unsure look.
