On 13th September 1999 a massive nuclear explosion on the moon blasted it out of earths orbit complete with over 300 personnel stationed on moonbase Alpha a staging point to launch space exploration.
This had dire consequences for the earth , every fault line on earth ruptured due to the massive gravity wake of the moon breaking away from earth , every continent on earth suffered massive earthquakes and japan was decimated , massive tsunami destroyed whole coastlines and the USA was devastated by the biggest volcanic eruption ever seen on earth on that day alone 1.2 billion people lost there lives , the world economy collapsed
Eight weeks after this catastrophic event on what some termed biblical the world leaders banded together to help and a new era of cooperation that had never been seen before began.
It was decided that all resources would be shared to help get the entire world back on it's feet no spending was to spent on devices of war or space exploration and all science divisions were ordered to finding ways to help the planet
2008
Nearly ten years after the disaster known as Armageddon day the planet was returning to normal and man once again looked to the stars .
2012
Ground based radar stations once known as SETI picked up a large asteroid moving very slowly towards earth and it was realised that the earth had been pulled out of it's orbit around the sun by 123,000 miles and the earths gravity had captured a large chunk of space debris that was settling into earths orbit and could theoretically become earths new moon
2033
The large asteroid settled into earths orbit and was called Luna II
2078
On 28th march 2078 ground based monitoring stations picked up a signal coming from Luna II and mission was set up to go there and find out what was going on on the surface
The only space worthy craft left were old eagle transporters that had become invaluable in relief efforts so it was decided to send a team to Luna II
But there was apprehension from some quarters as to safety for the crew if this turned out hostile but with no need on earth for military equipment it would be very difficult to build a knew military vehicle that could offer protection , it was decided to refit one of the old Hawk MK IX fighter interceptors to accompany the eagle crew
Launch date 2097
Both vessels launched and headed to Luna II ,scans of the surface revealed the signal was coming from a mound of rock but would have to be dug out and that would take time
2099

, I don't remember the backdrop being as good as this! Well done
