Dai­ly Moon Dis­patch – 6 June 2026

Do you need more Moon joy today?

The long lunar day at Con­rad Sta­tion con­tin­ues its slow decline. While Deputy Gen Miller con­tin­ues her rounds through the habi­tats and cor­ri­dors, the Sun has dropped sig­nif­i­cant­ly in the sky, cast­ing longer shad­ows over the regolith. The sta­tion feels alive with qui­et antic­i­pa­tion as we count down the days.

We are now 44 days from the release of Mask of the Joy­ful Moon on July 20, 2026.

Mask of the Joy­ful Moon is the explo­sive con­clu­sion to the Fab­u­lae Lunae saga — a hard sci­ence fic­tion tale of one deter­mined deputy, frag­ile alliances, cor­po­rate shad­ows, and secrets that could shat­ter Con­rad Station.

Week­ly Moon Dis­patch – Week of June 5, 2026

Do you need more Moon joy this week? The long lunar day at Con­rad Sta­tion is slow­ly draw­ing toward its close.

The sta­tion feels alive with qui­et ten­sion — prospec­tors talk­ing in low voic­es, alliances shift­ing like dust in the wind, and the Joy­ful Moon watch­ing every­thing with patient inten­si­ty. Mask of the Joy­ful Moon is the explo­sive con­tin­u­a­tion to the Fab­u­lae Lunae saga. One lone deputy. A bro­ken sher­iff. Mer­ce­nar­ies inside the wire.
