As far as the eye could see, there was nothing. Bleak nothingness. Remnants of a world destroyed years ago. Rotting plants, stagnant water, ruins of a dead people crumbling to dust. Yet amidst the barrenness, there was a break of color. Unremarkable in any other world or scenario. Little more than a weed. A seed carried by a stray monster as it slithered by, until it dropped, took root and began to grow. Yet it was no native plant, not to this world, nor to even Gaia: a sprouting Banora Apple Tree.

A figure approached from the east. A Genome, blank and unresponsive. It bent to examine the plant, then turned to go once more. His destination, a minor garden meant to sustain the minimal population left on Terra.

And it wasn't hard for Genesis to spot the tree and immediately walk toward it, not caring if the others followed or not. Genesis' brows furrowed as he drew closer. He didn't need to see if there were the notorious purple apples on it, this was a growing Banora Tree. But how could this be? Terra was quite barren.

Of course, that didn't stop him from starting lightly when the Genome approached from the east, looked at it, and then walked back. "I was told that this world did not sustain life. Why is there a Banora tree here?"
