Dai­ly Moon Dis­patch – 10 Sep­tem­ber 2026

A wan­ing cres­cent hangs over Earth.

The long lunar night con­tin­ues at Con­rad Sta­tion. Out­side there is only Earth­light on the regolith and the hard black of vac­u­um. Earth hangs high above the sta­tion. Sur­face activ­i­ty remains min­i­mal. Life con­tin­ues inside the habi­tats under arti­fi­cial light, where the qui­et tech­ni­cal mar­gins that keep every­one alive stay ful­ly in force.

Doc Keller is in the infir­mary, watch­ing dosage num­bers that nev­er quite go to zero. Radi­a­tion does not take the night off, and the near­est advanced med­ical cen­ter is still a three-day lag away.

From the Fab­u­lae Lunae series — The Luna­dyne Inci­dent, Thun­der Moon Tus­sle, and Mask of the Joy­ful Moon.

The Dai­ly Moon Dis­patch con­tin­ues to range across the whole Fab­u­lae Lunae series. Any of the three books and any of their cen­tral char­ac­ters may take the lead on a giv­en day.

The Joy­ful Moon is still watching…
and some shad­ows still hold water.
