Owen's sister Julia was in charge of monitoring the environmental changes in the greenhouse. She was a botanist, and she had a small team of fifteen people that worked with her on this task. The team was deliberately small because Sunshine wanted to keep out greedy hands and eyes. One needed to pass three security check points, a drone with facial recognition and a biometric scan before reaching the gardens.
Most of the plants were grown in pots or sacks on wooden boards that were above the ground.
There was a section of the greenhouse however where crops were grown in the soil. And that was where trouble was. Julia was the first to notice something strange with the soil.
First was the unnatural shimmer which looked like morning dew mixed with some oil! She put on a weather absorbent under suit, covering her nose and hands too. Then she scooped up some of the soil to take a closer look.
