Adverse Conditions — ruling 1

You can cast Adverse Conditions with no targets. When it resolves, you'll get an Eldrazi Scion. However, if you cast Adverse Conditions with any targets and all of those targets are illegal as it tries to resolve, it won't resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won't get the Eldrazi Scion in that case.

Adverse Conditions — ruling 2

Adverse Conditions tracks the creatures, but not their controller. If either of the creatures changes controllers before its first controller's next untap step has come around, then it won't untap during its new controller's next untap step.

Adverse Conditions — ruling 3

Cards with devoid use frames that are variations of the transparent frame traditionally used for Eldrazi. The top part of the card features some color over a background based on the texture of the hedrons that once imprisoned the Eldrazi. This coloration is intended to aid deckbuilding and game play.

Adverse Conditions — ruling 4

A card with devoid is just colorless. It's not colorless and the colors of mana in its mana cost.

Adverse Conditions — ruling 5

Other cards and abilities can give a card with devoid color. If that happens, it's just the new color, not that color and colorless.

Adverse Conditions — ruling 6

Devoid works in all zones, not just on the battlefield.

Adverse Conditions — ruling 7

If a card loses devoid, it will still be colorless. This is because effects that change an object's color (like the one created by devoid) are considered before the object loses devoid.

Adverse Conditions — ruling 8

Eldrazi Scions are similar to Eldrazi Spawn, seen in the Zendikar block. Note that Eldrazi Scions are 1/1, not 0/1.
