[ WP ] In 2050 the Rapture happens and the Apocalypse ravages earth . The colonies on the Moon and Mars are untouched by the events .

None of us knew it was coming. Which was weird, because if something happened back on Earth, Luna Control was usually the first to know since we could see it with binoculars if we looked hard enough. 
 
 But this time, all there was, all communication with Earth Dispatch ceased. It was like the building lost power, which was impossible since it had five backup generators hooked to it to keep shit like this from happening, but it happened all the same. Nothing we tried worked, changing channels, boosting signal, switching receivers. No one was answering. 
 
 Luna Control leaders figured whatever had made Earth Dispatch go hush-hush all of a sudden without telling us was worth checking out. A hastily set up scout crew was put on a ship made of bubblegum and prayers and sent to Earth with the simple goal of: figure out what happened and get news to the colonies. We would n't last long without support from the home planet; it's not like there's a lot out here in the way of food. 
 
 When the scout team arrived, they found a number of things odd. One, there was no one. There were some ashes on the ground and shoes in the middle of piles of clothes, but nothing else in the way of bodies. Two, in human's place there were these... things. Monsters, I suppose is the right word, but they did n't look like anything anyone in the party recognized and were definitely ready to kill. They stayed away from them as much as possible, but as they opened the door to enter the Earth Dispatch building, they came face to face with one of the Big Uglies. 
 
 Instead of pouncing and devouring, as they were sure was going to happen, it took a long look at them, sniffed the air, and walked past them to roam the streets of New York. It was like he could smell that they were off-worlders. 
 
 There was no one left on Earth. They were all gone. Religious people said it was the Rapture, and no one had any better theories. 
 
 But since there was no one on Earth, no one could get supplies out to the colonies, since the Moon and Mars are n't very resource rich. Lunar Control knew this. They took emergency leadership and organized a mass exodus not away from our homes, but to it. 
 
 The last transport from Mars just arrived yesterday. Looks like we'll have to start from the beginning. And God, if you're listening to me, please do n't kill me. I still have a lot to live for. We all do now, living for humanity's memory. Though it wo n't survive for long, anyway.
