New Readers
Hi! If you’re poking around here, you’re New Meat, and that means you’re new to Moon Town! Things can seem a little overwhelming at first, but don’t worry. You’re here with me, Triple Bee, and I got the news and clues to chase away your blues. I’ll get you the latest beats and deets to move your feets. Ready? Roll on, baby!
Security Agent Captain Cassandra Quinn is on assignment to the mining outpost Luna Seven amid rumors of pirates near the outpost.
On her approach to the complex, she saw something moving around on the surface of the moon that shouldn’t have been. In attempting to get verification, she’s gotten off on the wrong foot with the facility’s crankily busy administrator, Dabney Flagg, and she’s finding her navigation computer Agnes to be less than helpful. If that’s not an interesting start to her day, a mysterious ship blasted her out of the sky…
Her story starts HERE.
Meanwhile, Simon Tripline is waking up and getting ready for his day while the morning news plays. The news mentions Terraluna Universal’s Very Big Laser project, in which the megacorporation plans to project their logo onto the moon, which has drawn protests at Terraluna headquarters. And finally, the news mentions the rumors of piracy surrounding the disappearance of a shipment of ore from Luna Seven, rumors which facility administrator Dabney Flagg calls “laughable”.
As Simon walks to work, he sees something strange through a porthole. Did he really see it? Or were his eyes playing tricks on him?
Nothing like a bit of coffee to clear the senses, but even that brings an irritant in the form of Vin Sinclair, who is evidently one of Luna Seven’s top performers on the drill. But is there a dark secret to his success?
Simon’s story starts HERE.
 Cassandra Quinn
Cassandra is a rookie security guard on her first mission to the lunar mining colony Luna Seven, also known as Moon Town to the locals.
She’s young, and probably too smart and inquisitive for her own good. Also looks dead sexy in her uniform.

 Agnes
Terraluna Security cruisers are outfitted with the latest and greatest navigation computers. Agnes is the current model. She’s brilliant on squeezing the most mileage out of your limited fuel rations, and she’s fab at getting you where you need to be. Plus, she’ll keep you company on those long 2 day trips from the earth to the moon. Everybody needs somebody to talk to.
Just don’t ask her to verify signals on your radar screen… she’s not been programmed for that.

 Dabney Flagg
You ever had a boss who had it all under control? Someone you could look up to? Someone who could lead an army right straight to the gates of hell, yet still suave enough to charm the earrings off a dutchess?
Well, Luna Seven’s facilities administrator
Dabney Flagg is sort of the exact opposite. And though he’s likable in his own slouchy way, he is blessed with the talent to make most people dislike him.

 Savannah Bonn
This lovely lady is Terraluna Video News’ field presenter, and our link to Earth News. I could watch her all day, and sometimes I do… mostly with the sound down. Yeah!
I’m only kidding. Savie’s a great girl, and after watching her, all I can say is that life is a tale told by an idiot… and when Savie’s on, so is the news!
Whoa, why doesn’t somebody stop me!

 Simon Tripline
Simon is one of the miners who inhabit Luna Seven, the guys we call spaders. He splits his work time between driving a land rig and piloting an asteroid tug.
Where most of the spaders seem to actively hate their jobs, and not many last long in it, Simon seems resigned to his fate. I must remember to ask him his secret…

 Jimmy Dillard
Jimmy is one of the mechanics at Moon Town, whose talented wrench keeps the Luna Seven diggers digging. He’s good at his job, so don’t let his good ole boy bearing fool ya!
Jimmy’s recently become interested in the news, and who can blame him? Such interesting personalities on the news, and no shortage of opinion available to help you know what to think! Vidscreen news: don’t leave your room without it!

 Vin Sinclair
Vin Sinclair is the spader with the most. He’s got it all – looks, brains, and an unfailing sniffer for prime rock. His mining acumen has made him Luna Seven’s top performer, a fact he delights in reminding anyone who’ll listen.
But what’s his secret? Come on, everyone’s got one. And from the looks of things, Vin’s is a doozie.

You’re good.
“Heavy Metal” caliber stuff.
Have you talked to them?
Break an arm.
Curt
Hey, thanks, Curtis! I haven’t talked to HM, actually. Never occurred to me. They obviously influenced me a lot as a kid coming up. Thanks for the reminder… maybe I should talk to them.
Jimmy Dillard reminds me of Johny Vegas
Poor Johnny, then.
