Second Moon Event Phase Two (2073-2077)
The Second Moon Event: Phase Two (2053 - 2060)'
Shift in the Second Moon's Orbit (2053)
In early 2053, astronomers worldwide observed a gradual change in the orbit of the Second Moon. The object, which had previously remained at a consistent distance behind the Moon, began moving into a closer orbit. This transition unfolded over several months, drawing global attention and sparking widespread speculation about the causes and potential consequences.
Increased Lunar Activity (2053 - 2055)
As the Second Moon moved into a closer orbit, an unprecedented level of activity between the Second Moon and our Moon was observed. A continuous stream of small crafts, apparently originating from the Second Moon, were seen traveling back and forth to the Moon's South Pole–Aitken basin. The activity was most concentrated around the basin, one of the largest known impact craters in the solar system.
Establishment of Plasma Shield (2054)
In 2054, after an initial period of increased activity around the South Pole–Aitken basin, a large, translucent structure was observed being erected around the basin's perimeter. The structure seemed to be composed of the same exotic plasma that had surrounded the Second Moon. Once fully formed, it obscured the basin from observation, leading to a surge in theories about what was being hidden.
Reconfiguration of the Second Moon (2054 - 2056)
Following the establishment of the plasma shield, the Second Moon began to undergo a series of changes. It appeared to be slowly hollowing out, reducing in size over a period of several years. As the Second Moon's size decreased, the amount of activity around the South Pole–Aitken basin increased, suggesting that materials were being transported between the two locations.
Earth's Response and Interference Attempts (2055 - 2059)
The mysterious activities triggered a multitude of responses from Earth. Space agencies, private companies, and international consortiums launched a series of missions to investigate and potentially interfere with the happenings. However, attempts to penetrate or disrupt the plasma shield were unsuccessful, and crafts approaching the Second Moon were mysteriously deflected or rendered non-operational.
Mysterious Energy Pulses (2056 - 2060)
In tandem with these developments, starting from 2056, enigmatic energy pulses were detected near Earth. These high-intensity energy packets were seemingly materializing from nowhere and disappearing just as mysteriously. Numerous retrieval attempts were made, but none succeeded in capturing or identifying the origin of these energy packets.
Global Impact and Reaction (2053 - 2060)
Throughout this phase, global reaction was a mix of awe, trepidation, and intense curiosity. The disappearance of the Second Moon and the subsequent developments spurred numerous theories and debates, encompassing scientific, political, philosophical, and existential dimensions. Despite the many unknowns, one thing was clear - humanity was no longer alone in their celestial backyard.
