"This has got to be the best thing for us," started Space Marine Commander Ward as he watched another shuttle refuel in the outside hanger attached to the platform.

"Yeah, the Vamperial Order reckons its time to listen to us," replied Corporal Hutson as the shuttle was preparing to take off again.

"Still," said Ward as he looked over a report. "The metal we've being finding might give us a 'Space' Boom," Ward joked as Hutson laughed at the joke for a moment. "How much do you think it'll cost us?"

"Maybe a few tens of billions Lymaxs," guessed Hutson. "Maybe to be used as an outpost in case something happens,"

"You've being watching to many Sci-Fi/Horros about aliens invading us," teased Ward as the shuttle detached from the platform and headed for Lynscert Island.

"Ok boys and Girls, you know our destination, Malapert Mountain at the south pole" Tony said "When we land, team A get the Habitation modules up and check the radiation shielding, Team B, the habitation modules won't mean shit if you don't get the Solar panels up, in the right place, you've seen it on the plan, were we get continuous sunlight, everyone know what we're doing?"

"We shall be launching 5 shuttles to aid your efforts on Luna."

The First of the Landers made contact with the luna surface. Once they were all down, the crews disembarked and began to start moving the equipment to the colony site and began construction work. Working in shifts it took them nearly twelve hours to get the habitation modules up, and another ten after a four hour break to get the solar panels running.
"Construction teams to Control, Modules up, power active, we're going to start putting the systems in now" Tony reported
