John Farno is the terraforming director of Farigha and serves as its de facto governor during the planet’s reconstruction. Originally a technician with the Mars Terraforming Corps, Farno survived the destruction of Farigha’s original colony by sheer luck, sleeping in a rover deep in the desert when disaster struck. In “Wherever I May Roam,” he appears as a key figure trying to revive Farigha’s suspended terraforming program. Impressed by Ellie Nardino’s leadership and technical skills, he offers her a role helping rebuild the world he once saw nearly lost forever.
