That Was Close-I Almost Made a Fool of Myself

Although there was no liquid water left on Terra's surface, the water vapor produced by five quadrillion people living there was still considerable.

It was nowhere near the point where the air felt like sandpaper, as it did on Istvaan III. It just smelled unpleasant, and even through a gas mask, one could still feel a slight sting.

Come to think of it, it was actually rather amusing.
