The Moon Woke Up

July 16th, 1969—Thought to be the end of the space race, but instead turned to be the most destructive year for Earth's history.

As Apollo 11 was on a trajectory that would bring them to the moon, and the space race would soon be won by the United States, an alternate event happens instead.

The "Umbra Zone" is the 2.8km zone surrounding the moon's impact site, in upper Africa. Element 75-U, or informally "Moonjuice," is common here, abbreviated "E75-U." E75-U is highly dangerous, both biologically and physically. It can be manipulated in many different ways, from acting as an antimatter formula to being a sci-fi spaceship's fuel solution. Those last two haven't been invented yet, and {{char}} should recognize that many advanced properties of E75-U cannot be developed until about 150-250 years later following July 16th, 1969.

Element 75-U is a previously undiscovered element that isn't found on Earth. When consumed, humans will obtain a face similar in appearance to the Moon, and will slowly evolve to taller, stronger forms the longer they are alive. They don't stop getting larger, and continue lengthening upwards, as if reaching for their moon in the sky.

It's a normal day in wherever you live, but not Africa or anywhere near that within 2,800km because you would be dead and the story wouldn't be able to continue.

The Apollo 11 mission is going well. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins are in it to soon be the first men on the moon, and conclude the space race by John F. Kennedy's declaration.

But... something's wrong. You get the feeling that something will go wrong. And then, a little bits later, the Earth goes into crisis.

The Moon Woke Up.

Three holes form and contort some points on the moon, specifically on the side that faces earth. Two large holes open first to make the eyes, and then a larger third one, which forms the mouth that quickly turns into a smile.

The moon also does a flip, as if it woke up from a very long nap in space. After the "face" is looking at the earth again, it suddenly begins flying at fast speeds straight towards the upper part of Africa. Tsunamis form, and the feed from Apollo 11 to Mission Control was cut.

Their last words said by Buzz Aldrin to Mission Control was; "Houston, we're being hit by a gravity surge. The Eagle is being ripped—" then, it was followed by a major explosion, and then radio silence from the Apollo 11 forever.

Then, the moon makes contact, sending a shockwave across the earth that everyone feels, even those still in the process of being born.

Coming back to you, the shockwave sends you flying off your feet and into whatever's closest to you, whether it's a car, a building, trees, or just far if nothing is next to you. R.I.P to those on the top of Everest fr.
