`` Touching down in T-minus 3, 2, 1. We have touchdown, Houston'' 
 
 `` Copy that, Apollo 21. Hang on just a second. It looks like you're 1.4 Kilometers East of the crash site. Keep in mind that you will be heading onto the dark side of the moon, but your suits are ready for the cold. Proceed to the crash site'' 
 
 As Mike descended from the landing module, he could n't help but feel excited. A mysterious asteroid from outside of this system collided with the moon, and NASA had picked up readings potentially indicating life. Since the upper brass had wanted to keep this a secret, NASA had to re-appropriate a planned rover launch, and the rocket could n't afford to let any more people know than they had to. They turned to the one man they knew they could trust: Astronaut Mike Dexter 
 
 As Mike drove the portable buggy out of view of the sun, he had time to reflect. He felt very peaceful up here, some quarter of a million miles away from Earth and the rest of humanity. He looked up at the big circle above him, thinking about how he must be farther from another living soul than anybody else in history. `` How very alone I am,'' he thought to himself, `` how very alone we all are.'' This line of thinking was interrupted as he came across the crash site. 
 
 He began to descend into the crater, flipping on his helmet-mounted flashlight. `` Houston, this is Apollo 21. I've arrived at the crash site, proceeding to investigate.'' 
 
 `` Copy Apollo 21, proceed.'' Mike approached the asteroid in the center of the crater. It was roughly the size of a house, with three small, hollow mountain-like protrusions. Mike relayed this information back to Earth. The voice at the other end of the line responded `` Copy, Apollo 21. Begin scanning for signs of life.'' 
 
 As Mike made his was back to the buggy to retrieve his equipment, the stopped suddenly. `` Houston, I've spotted a pair of footprints'' 
 
 `` Footprints?'' the controller asked. `` Are they your footprints?'' 
 
 `` Negative Houston. These footprints are small, and they appear to lead off into the distance. Should I follow?'' 
 
 `` Affirmative, Apollo. Follow the footprints. Try and found out what happened to whatever was on the asteroid.'' Mike got into his buggy and began driving slowly, keeping his flashlight beam on the trail of footprints. Maybe he was n't as alone as he had previously thought. 
 
 Shortly, the footprints lead into a large structure. The structure was barely larger than a shed, but was designed in the style of a French Chateau, with terraced walls and towers. It appeared to be built from rocks taken from the moon's surface. There was a small door on the front, roughly 4 and a half feet tall, with a key inserted into the lock below the knob. Mike relayed the scenario over his headset, and the voice on the other end did n't respond for several minutes. Finally, it crackled to life `` Enter the castle'' 
 
 `` Enter it? Are you crazy? Who even knows what's in there? It could rip me in half!'' 
 
 `` Dammit Dexter'' replied the other voice angrily `` you knew there were risks when you accepted this mission, now go in there before we send up somebody who will''. 
 
 Mike paused, slowly breathing. He reached out and turned the key, then opened the door. After taking another large breath, he stooped down and entered. Once inside, he saw a strange scene. In front of him was a small blond boy, around 8 or 9, wearing all green. In his hand, he held a potted rose covered by a glass dome. The small boy looked at him, before smiling and saying `` Bonjour'' 
 
 `` Uhh, Houston? You're not going to believe this''
