Do you need more Moon joy this week?

The long lunar night has ful­ly set­tled over Con­rad Sta­tion. With the Sun now below the hori­zon for the sec­ond week, the regolith glows under soft Earth­light while Deputy Gen Miller con­tin­ues her rounds through the dim­ly lit habi­tats and cor­ri­dors. Flash­lights cut through the dark­ness as the sta­tion adapts to the chal­lenges of two weeks of night — and the ten­sion is qui­et­ly building.

Mask of the Joy­ful Moon is the explo­sive con­clu­sion to the Fab­u­lae Lunae saga. One lone deputy. A bro­ken sher­iff. Shift­ing alliances. Cor­po­rate shad­ows. The long lunar night will force secrets into the open. This is hard sci­ence fic­tion with real lunar grit — straw-cup beers, aging crawlers, water recy­clers fight­ing for every liter, and help that’s always three silent days away.

This Week on the Moon

Join me for this week’s X Space dis­cus­sion: Gen Miller Arrives: From Earth Cop to Moon Deputy. We’ll explore Gen’s tran­si­tion from her old life on Earth to her new role as deputy on the lunar fron­tier. → Watch / Join the Space
