This Week on Lunar Signals – Torn MacAlester’s Space on X
Thursday’s X‑Space Discussion: The Strike Told in The Lunadyne Incident

Join us live as we dig into one of the most pivotal — and dangerous — events in the early days of Conrad Station. The strike that brought mercenaries, hostages, and the raw edge of corporate power to the lunar surface. How did it start? Who really pulled the strings? And what does it mean for the fragile peace that followed?
In The Lunadyne Incident and Other Stories, the strike isn’t background noise — it’s the spark that sets everything in motion. Sheriff Anderson holding the line, prospectors caught in the crossfire, and the first hints of the larger shadow war that Gen Miller would later walk into. We’ll talk about the human cost, the logistical nightmare of a strike on the Moon, and how that single event still echoes through Thunder Moon Tussle and Mask of the Joyful Moon.
Bring your thoughts, your favorite moments from the story, and your questions about what really happened when the miners pushed back against Coal Co. and the mercenaries arrived.

Stories
The stories of Torn MacAlester are science fiction, where the science is well-grounded. I intentionally made any deviations for speculative purposes. To maintain maximum realism, I restrict the scope of these deviations.
Articles
I write articles of science fact and science fiction. The articles here span the knowledge of modern science and the speculations of fiction. I try to caveat everything that is an assumption. You will find articles about spaceflight, the possibilities of alien contact, and descriptions of technology used in my stories.
