It was supposed to be a routine mission to the moon for four astronauts. They were to be there for two weeks to collect some samples to be taken back to Earth. We've been to the moon before and nothing really exciting happened.... until now.

The crew was made up of Jean, Paul, Peter, and another Paul but everybody just called him "Ace". Ace was the youngest member of the team and a bit of a thrill-seeker. This was his first mission but what he really wanted to do was explore the universe.

While the other three astronauts worked collecting samples from the moon, Ace was flying around in a rocket. His rocket was darting around wildly nearly crashing a few times. He found digging on the moon boring and wanted some adventure. The others were growing frustrated with Ace's shenanigans.

Ace got a little careless trying to show off and ended up crashing his rocket into a crater on the moon. The rocket burst into flames as Ace was sent flying. He kept rolling and rolling until he finally stopped. He was okay but was knocked unconscious by the impact.

The other astronauts rushed to the crash site. The rocket had burst into flames and Ace was nowhere in sight. "Ace! Ace!" they all called out. But they couldn't see or hear him. "What do we do Peter?" Jean asked. "We split up and look for Ace. Just remember to keep in constant contact. Uh oh!"

"What's wrong Peter?" asked a worried Paul. "We're running low on oxygen. We don't have enough to go looking for Ace." "But we can't leave him here!" Jean shouted. "Honestly, I don't think he made it after that crash. We need to get back to the shuttle right now!" "But....." "That's an order!"

The crew was silent as they boarded the shuttle and made their way back to Earth. Peter put his hand on Jean's shoulder and said, "There was nothing more we could do. He was too immature for this mission. Part of this is for my fault for including him. We had no choice but to leave." Jean just sat there and didn't say a word.

Ace woke up with a pounding headache. He was miles away from where his rocket had crashed. All he could see for miles was the cold wasteland of the moon and the stars in the sky. He thought he was all alone yet he felt like he was being watched at the same time. But there was no life on the moon, was there?

"Welcome Comrade. My name is 3CP1. I have been on the moon since 1957 when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik. I've been here doing research ever since. Ace began to breathe heavily. He was getting low on oxygen and started to panic. He felt weak in the knees and everything went dark.

SOVIET SPACE STATION

He had blacked out from a lack of oxygen and from the shock of the accident. 3CP1 had taken him to a space station that had been set up on the moon. For something that had been built in 1957, it was pretty impressive inside. "Ah, I see you are awake. Feel free to take off your helmet and relax."
