The scientists had agreed that humans could survive on the unnamed planet. They sent the chosen colonists who found a pretty but strange world. It was habitable but also hostile.
Others followed them despite the danger. The humans brought their belongings, their plants, their animals ... their bacteria. No matter how hard they tried, what they were could never be thoroughly cleansed.
The bacteria found a whole new world to explore. They spread out, they mutated ... they destroyed everything in their path, except for what had come with the humans.
The colonists lost a jewel, but they gained a new home.
