The regolith is still set­tling at Con­rad Sta­tion, but the ten­sion is only get­ting thicker.

For fif­teen straight days, Deputy Genevieve “Gen” Miller has been walk­ing the razor’s edge of lunar law enforce­ment. From her first straw-cup beer in Alex’s bar to the grow­ing shad­ows in the habi­tats and the sus­pi­cious eyes of prospec­tors and strangers alike, she has uncov­ered secrets that could tear the entire sta­tion apart. The drunk­en sher­iff is bare­ly hold­ing on. Alliances are frac­tur­ing. Mer­ce­nar­ies are already inside the wire. And the mask of the Joy­ful Moon is final­ly slip­ping away, reveal­ing some­thing far more dan­ger­ous underneath.
