On the dark side of the Moon—where no signals reach Earth and no one is supposed to be listening—we discovered an oil rig standing silent against the lunar dust. Its lights were dead, its drills frozen mid-bore, and its logs hinted at a crew that vanished without explanation. As we explored deeper into the structure, it became clear the rig wasn’t abandoned because it failed… it was abandoned because something down there didn’t want to be found.
