Morning had just returned to the Moon Base station, and the day shift was on their way to work, but a general feeling of depression was settling in over the staff. It had now been two months since the main research team had disappeared to work on their new project, the Dyson Sphere that they had so much early success with.
The workers on the station didn't have the security clearance to know what had happened, if it was successful, if it was being refined on site, or even if the worst had happened and an entire team had been lost to science.
The feeling had been building for a while, and Uncle Lu could sense it, but until today, he hadn't been able to share anything with them, for fear of data leaks.
But today he had good news.
