Where Are We This Isn't Earth's Kansas Right Now WorldWar Moonbase Alpha_XOver


3rd Year of Travel among the Stars.... (Moonbase Alpha Command Center)

Moonbase Alpha is now on its third year traveling among the stars, unable to control their destiny but survive another day and meet other Spacial Civilizations by an unknown entity...
The Moonbase Alpha Command team is in a meeting when Computer & its Sensors detect another Spatial Anomaly opening a hundred Kilometers in front of their wandering Moon and they Enter this opening and they finally are displaced into a familiar Solar system orbiting a familiar Home Planet named Earth and yet not their Earth...
For this is Earth in the midst of its Second World War on May of 1942 and they are about to be invaded by the Tau Ceti Lizards from The Race of the WorldWar Series by Their Invasion Fleet about to get close to Tosev 3 as they moved away from Jupiter Mars Orbit



On Moonbase Alpha.. Third Year for the Alphans traveling endlessly in Space across the vast void where they await the next spatial anomaly or solar system to cause more vain hope,
more grief or unwanted joy as they survive another day

A Monthly Conference of the Heads of the various departments on Moonbase Alpha meet & greet each other as Commander John Koenig & his second, Paul Morrow, start the conference in a few moments.

" Morning everybody.. Commander Koenig is arriving now with Doctor Russell & Victor. Atten-hut! "

The Folks arise from their seats as John, Helena and Victor enter the main conference room of Moonbase Alpha ...

" Everybody be seated and thank you for arriving promptly for this monthly meeting. Now let's begin. Tony, status of Security, please. "


Tony Verdeschi sits up straighter " Security reports all stations manned and ready. With our enhanced Gun Lasers that Maya helped to manufacture & upgrade and the new Rifle Lasers.
We can fight better & the charges on this beauts last twice as long at sustain levels, sir. Our sensor upgrades that Maya had also improved on allows us both external and internal protection, sir."

" Good. Victor, those Sensors that Tony mentioned that Maya had improved upon. What are their range, especially beyond our Moon as we headed forward into the unknown? "

" Well, John... Maya had synthesized vast improvements not only for our Lasers but also our Sensors, both internally and externally, and we can how see at least two to three Light Years further out in all direction
without the need to expend fuel and our Eagles to Recon occasionally upon meeting any spatial debris or anomaly or an unknown solar system. "


" Indeed? Maya, Thank you for your help on this for the past twelve months that you have been with us."

" Your welcome. I just couldn't stand anymore the level of aaah... low end technology that Moonbase had to offer and with the vast knowledge that I had accumulated & learn on my former home planet. I just had to make our lives better, John."

" Indeed. Those sensors, especially the internal ones, has allow us to mine for extra minerals and pockets of ice & even Hydrogen to allow us to fuel our Eagles and run our facilities."


" And... I hope I am not offending David too much.. I am glad that you allow me to upgrade Computer. Thank you. "

" Well, Maya, the increase memory & storage capacity has done wonders for Computer's core speed and allow her to vastly improve on her efficiency. I will admit that I was a bit reluctant but seeming the improvements has.. ."


" Alert, Alert. Commander Koenig! Please Respond. Alert, Alert. All Stations at full Alert!! "


" Sandra! This is Commander Koenig!! Status report. What is the alert about?! "

" Commander! Tanya and Anna was testing out our extended Sensor units and they were alerted to a huge unknown Spatial Anomaly in front of the path of Moonbase Alpha, SIR! "

" What?! Maya?!! I thought your new-fangle sensors can detect stuff two or three light years away?!"

" They should, Tony! Sandra!! How big is this Anomaly and when and how did our sensors just only detected them?! "


" Computer and our Sensors didn't detect this ... this thing until Tanya & Anna was checking a very narrow range ahead of us and they suddenly noticed it! Sir!! This is odd!? Computer now reports that the Anomaly is headed toward us!! "

" Sandra! Order all Staff & Personnel to battlestations. Folks, to your stations, NOW! Let's go Victor! Tony, Get security on high alert! Helen, get your staff to their posts! ALAN! Prep two Eagles just in case and get your best pilots ready! Let's go folks! "

" Alert! ALERT!! All personnel to your Posts. This a Full Red Alert!! Alert! ALERT! "
-Sandra sends out the all-base Warning as Moonbase Alpha crew personnel rush to their posts and man their stations prepare for another day of either grief or mayhem.

" Victor?!! Maya!! What does your sensors state?! David, check our Computer and see what she can figure out on this Anomaly! "


" JOHN! Maya is reporting that is Anomaly is, indeed, moving towards us instead of us merely heading towards it! The distance between our Moonbase and this ''' thing ''' decreases by the minute. Unbelievable, John! "

" Victor!!! Is this thing reacting to our presence or are we merely falling into its sphere of gravitational pull?! "

" John! Computer can't makes heads or tails of what that thing is out there other than it has height and width but seemingly no mass or any gravitational pull. Maya, This doesn't make sense?!"

" I don't know David. John! My sensors are all working but this Anomaly suddenly came in front of us out of nowhere, Sir! I have never seen this spatial phenomenon at all before! "


" Does Computer or your sensors tell us if this spatial Anomaly might cause any issues with our moonbase?! Victor? Maya??"

" John!! This '' Thing '' has no gravitational mass or does our sensors can sense any fluctuations. It is as if it doesn't truly exist and yet we see it before our eyes. Computer and Sensors can't make sense of this other than that it is showing up on our screens and sensors!"

" Dammit. Alright.. Sandra.. System wide comms, please. This Is Commander Koenig. To all personnel. Moonbase Alpha is headed toward another Spatial Anomly Incident. Have everybody secure all posts and stations and prepare impact ... how long Victor? Best Guess!"

" By Maya's sensors and David's Computer... Fifteen... no Ten minutes to impact upon its event horizon, John! It is actually appears to be rushing towards us, JOHN! Even Faster!! "


" To all personnel.. Prepare for Impact in less than Ten Minutes. Brace yourselves and secure everything. Command Post OUT! "

" Paul, activate the base shields. How much power will that consume and still allows us to maintain Moonbase Alpha, Maya? "

" The new Fusion reactors running on the remaining atomic waste piles can power not only the base Shields but also the Base with minimal usage of reserves, Sir! "

" Thank you, Maya. Paul? "

" For what's its worth. Shields Up, John. Tho what we..."


" COMMANDER! LOOK!! "-shouts Sandra in horror as she had looked up to the main screens in shock when she saw her own sensor screen being overwhelm by darkness.

" What, Sandr... What the Hell, VICTOR!" -All crew personnel at the command post looks up at the Main view-screen.

The entire Command Post gasp in shock as the looming Spatial Anomaly suddenly reaches out and envelopes Moonbase Alpha into its massive maw....

No sensation of unexpected gravity, no shock, no nothing and Moonbase Alpha enters & leaves the Anomaly in what feels like an eternity but only a mere second or two had pass....

" Astonishing, John! We ... suddenly entered that Anomaly... and now... we are here?! But where? David? Maya?? Our video feed is down. What of our Sensors?!


" Computer is still working but the Video screen is down for an unknown reason. Maya, the sensors!? "

" Sensors are still working but they appear to be ... Sensors are working.. What! Commander. Computer & Sensors report a large Planetary object approx 238,000 miles from us and it appears that we are Orbit-ally locked?! What?! "

" What?! When can we have the Video Screens back, David...."

" Video screens are all coming bac... Commander... on Screen, sir! "

" Victor. What does Computer and the Sensors say?! What Planet does that appear to be that we suddenly orbiting. And is this a solar system or are we stuck eternally with a rogue planet?!"

" John... preliminary sensors says that there is a Sun about 93,000,000 millions miles away from us. A yellow sun. And get this.. Computer states we are orbiting the third rock from this sun and..."


" Commander!! I am receiving Radio signals. LOTS of radio signals from that Planet that we are orbiting, sir! "

" What?! Paul! Tony! Have all stations and posts report their status! Tell them that we have pass safely beyond that spatial Anomly but that all folks are still on Red Alert."


" Maya, David, Sandra... Get your teams to figure out what those Radio Signals are!

" Victor... Get Computer to give us a close-up of that, that Third Rock from this Sun that we are orbiting...We need Visuals, now, to figure this out!"

" Right John... working on it!"


" Commander! "

" Yes, Paul? "

" All posts and stations reporting in. No damage to either crew nor equipment. Status all Nominal at Red Alert, John. "

" Thanks, Paul. Tony?! "

" Security likewise all stations and corridors and power still up and running, John. Do we still need the Shields Up, sir?"

" Maybe. Maya, David, Sandra.. what's the word with this radio signal?! Anything?? Is this planet generating a Radio feedback from its magnetic field ?"


" Commander... the radio that we are picking up are at the AM/FM range.. Computer is picking up them up and collating them but there is alot of it... It can't be natural. Perhaps a civilization, sir? "

" Maybe... Victor! Any Luck?! "


" We .. we got something... it appears that we are seeing the night-side of this planet. We have clouds, lots of water being ... Oceans worth.. JOHN!!! The Configuration of the land Mass... JOHN!! It.. It's appears to be EARTH!? ""

" What... imposs.. .what am I saying.. we have meet many impossible situations ... How did we get soo lucky... Show it up on the screen when you can, Victor!"


" Roger, John. Transferring feed... now... look, John. There on the left. North America. the land contours matches... Greenland! Iceland... Europe, JOHN! England & Ireland, But.. Something is strange, tho. There are very few lights shining below, John. Very Odd"

" Hmmmm.. perhaps the three years that we have been away from Earth had cause Earth's orbit to wobble and causing some of the landmass to go into winter where it should be sprint or summer? Is that it?!"

" Hmmm. John, I don't... Wait.. David, Sandra... check for Earth Satellites, especially the Communication and NASA & EuropeComm !!! See if there are there!"


" .... NOTHING!! Victor... Computer and sensors are picking up no Satellite Radio, laser comm or microwave signals... Just the Radio chatter from Earth itself!"

" Then perhaps the wobbling of Earth without the Moon to keep her orbit stable had possibly flung most of the Satellites to burn upon hitting the Earth or were flung out? "

" But there are no space debris, John... Nothing except regular dust and rocky debris orbiting Earth. Even the olde space stations above the United States and Russia are gone and they were orbiting more than Medium height over Earth, John."


" Perhaps they were sent Earthward or were flung out of Earth..."

" No, John... no... there is absolutely no metallic space debris orbiting Earth at this time.. Computer & Sensors confirm it among with the radio signals emulating from Earth. This isn't our Earth... perhaps an earlier Earth?"

" What, Victor, Time Travel?!! That Spatial Anomaly had no gravitational mass or any energy that neither Computer nor Maya's sensor to detect... How could that possibly..."


" Wait, John, Wait... remember what I had mentioned when we should have died near that Black Hole anomaly and instead we were flung light years and somehow Helena's Eagle and her crew-mates somehow follow us? Perhaps a higher entity is at play here?"

" Victor... <sign> Okay... this looks like our Earth... But the lights that normally be shown for Earth of 2002 when we left on 1999 appears less dimmer or even dark. And what of this Radio Signals... Sandra? "


" Commander.. some are sounding like Morse-code. But we are getting languages in English like British & American. German, Italian, Russian, Japanese and some Brazilian Signals.. This is all that Computer is picking up right now, Commander! "

" That.. that is odd. Give us a radio feed, American, please or British and let us hear it... maybe it will give us a clue, Sandra."


" Got it.. Transferring Audio Feed to main speakers..."

" This is CBS radio news reporting live from New York City on this date, May 29th, 1942 as the War over Europe continues unabated between Nazi Germany and Russia across the great expanses of their Eastern Front...."

" Okay... stop the feed, Sandra. Victor... Care to tell me something... Since that was literally .."


" Yes, John.. it appears that whatever that Spatial Anomaly did, it brought us back to Earth and in the same orbit as that Earth's moon was... Computer does not see this Earth's moon anywhere on this exact orbit except us, John.
perhaps we trade spaces with this Earth's moon and now Moonbase Alpha is now back at Earth orbit in the Year 1942 of May in their World War and looks like we are also there, likewise. We are Home but yet not home, John."

" <sign> That doesn't help us too much, Victor... and.."


" Commander!!"

" Yes, Maya. What do you have now ?! "

" Commander... my extended external Sensors are detecting at least two dozen spaceships, perhaps more and very large ones, heading from Jupiter orbit & Computer puts their path towards Mars and finally towards Earth! "


" What... Alan! Prep all our Eagles and Pilots... Get them on stand-by and ready to go at fifteen minutes notice. Moved IT! Tony... Warn Security of the situation.

Paul! Keep the Shields UP and our Laser Ground Batteries at standby! "


" Sandra! Pass the word to all stations of the new situations. "

" That of us orbiting what appears to be Earth but in May of 1942 during the Second World War and that our Sensors have now detected what appears to be two dozen spaceships of large size heading away from Jupiter and towards Earth, purpose unknown, NOW!"

All officers reply in the affirmative and the Command Center goes into overdrive again...




Flashback two weeks before Entry of Moonbase Alpha back at Earth Orbit May 1942



The Tau Ceti The Race Conquest Fleet orbiting the closest Gas Giant of Tosev system to hide their presence from the Tosev savages on Tosev-3

" It is better to be safe than sorry. Recon and study this Savage new world named Tosev where these Bipedal ape-like intelligent beings are still fighting on horse back and using swords and undoubtedly using Bows & Arrows.."
-Smirks Conquest Fleetlord Atvar as the fleet order that he had given was that the Soldiers and Officers of the Fleet are to be released from Cold-Sleep and recover for the Combat against the Tosev-3 warriors whom will be no match for their machine gun soldiers and their Killercrafts and Landcruisers.


" Fleetlord Atvar!"
-an annoying Communication officer that had been task to monitor all the Satellite Feeds from their units orbiting at Tosev Three and its moon satellite

" What is it?! Why are you disturbing my studies at this moment?! "
-speaks an irate Atvar.

" Sir!! <bows meekly with respect> Our Sensor feeds have finally been collated for the past few days and have notify that Tosev-3 is emualting Radio Feed for the last twenty Tosev Cycles around their Sun, sir!"

" Impossible.. are you telling me that this savage race that was seen eons ago riding horses and hidebound clothing with metallic shielding now has Radio signals.. all within a short life-span that took us generations ?! "


" Yes, Fleetlord Atvar! I can only report what our Sensors have collected and I am reporting you the findings!! We are also still receiving Radio Emulations from Tosev-3 Right Now, Exalted One!"

" GET OUT, NOW! "
-the Comm officer exits out in haste

" Impossible... and yet... I must confer with my other FleetLords and we have to see whether this is utterly impossible or an anomaly of a great threat to our Empire... Technology with Radio that took us eons...What else to these Savage Tosevites have now?? "



--Flashback now--



" Fleetlord Atvar, sir!"

" What now, Communication Officer. What do you need to tell me now that we don't already know for the last two weeks?! "
-speaks an already aggrieved Fleetlord Atvar that had finally convince his Fellow Fleetlords that they shall attack Tosev-3 with huge Aerial Airstrikes and hit important large Tosev Cities that appears to be their Capital with Atomics to reduce their abilities to find properly while invading their major nation states...

" Exalted Fleetlord!! Our Communication Sensor satellites have detected a strange anomaly that has occurred on Tosev-3's moon Satellite. It reports of a new facility now on the moon surface where before there was nothing but craters, dust and rocks, sir!"

" What?! Are you utterly mad?! How can this Be!? Impossible!"


" I am sorry to report but that is the findings of our Sensor Satellites orbiting Tosev-3's Moon. A Metallic Facility is now there where there was none just a day ago, sir!"

" GET OUT OF SIGHT, NOW! "
-The Comm officer flees for his paltry life

" What Madness Is this?! "


--Meanwhile on Earth on the Dark-side at night at North America
An Observatory at Arizona notices something odd with their Moon, especially at its surface as a strange flash had appeared and now something shiny was reflecting off the moon's surface.

More Earth Observatories are noticing the odd flash from the surface of their planet's moon and the observers are getting even more shock as they notice the odd configuration now showing up where there was only craters & boulders...


TBC

Updates will be far and between if not at all if the muse is stalled

Oh, those poor Race. Hmm, I wonder if Atvar will run. He was close to fleeing from Earth in the OTL, this added weirdness of a moon base and the possibility of attacks directly on his ships may well make him decide discretion is a better idea.

Guess it depends on how that race thinks. If they are the sort who always hold back when something unexpected comes up then there will be no attack.

So far I like it.
