With vertical farming taking up most of the sunlight above, subterrane is for travelers. In movie theaters, we saw the history of the region. In stores, we stocked up for the ride. In restaurants, we had a great variety of food. There were thousands of like-minded wildlands tourists, so the energy was high.
The transition of the steppes focused on preventing the grasslands from becoming deserts. There also was an effort to re-introduce traditional flora and fauna. Temperatures rose, but more irrigation allowed the grasses to stay. This effort has been a crowning achievement for AI.

For the ride, we all bought cycling apparel, like goggles. Slate also bought a tarp, of course.
