Earth date: November 14.
Was it Thursday or Friday?
I had already lost track of the exact time. After all, I had been living like a cave dweller inside the moon, without even a phone. My sense of time had grown hazy, to the point that I couldn't even tell day from night...
Enheria's base was a maze of winding passages, all set up for tunnel warfare beneath the lunar surface. But after exploring for a while, I had figured out where most of its departments were.

Their organization was currently sealed off.
