Summary of “The white rain came”

1,157 characters · 2 min read

The narrative begins on Mars during a mass wedding where Lynne Fenlay feels alienated by the reckless Martian lifestyle and her marriage to the rebellious communications coordinator Rolf Marcein. Soon, a tragedy strikes a telepathic research team at Nampura Depot when scientists make contact with a mysterious alien entity that causes psychological instability and kills a researcher. Lynne and Rolf journey across space to the frozen moon of Callisto, where an Earth Interplanetary Administration mission has been devastated by the same entity because an active radioactive generator provoked its wrath. Working in telepathic tandem, Lynne and Rolf successfully maneuver a hidden switch to turn off the power source, enduring fierce backlash and hazardous conditions to save surviving crew members. Upon returning to Mars, Lynne realizes this entity exists on multiple planets and can be intentionally irritated to induce weather patterns. By setting up subterranean relay circuits near an agricultural station, they trigger the entity to produce moisture, successfully causing a snowfall that begins the slow process of restoring the planet's atmosphere.
