One month after the initial torpedo landings, hundreds of thousands more torpedoes have been launched.

The hydrogen-ammonia cloud seems to have stablised at this point. More torpedoes have been launched to ensure the constant renewal of the cloud.

Two years after the intialization of terraforming operations on Selene, temperature and atmospheric density have now reached Terran levels. However, the atmosphere is a mix of hydrogen, ammonia, methane, carbon dioxide, and water vapour; this atmosphere is entirely inhospitable to human life.

However, the Royale Group has begun seeding the planet with Terran microorganisms engineered to process these atmospheric gases and create oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapour.
