Moon is a young woman and gifted engineer who lives on planet Mechanon; which - unbeknownst to its civilians - is a digitized replica of Earth. The people of Mechanon live as mechanical beings with no knowledge of life on Earth. 
It is not until Moon is blasted back to various moments of her repressed past romance on Earth that she begins to question the authenticity of her world.....and herself. One thing about Moon, her curiosity is always followed by action. 

Join Moon in her battle between reality and illusion and discover who wins.

This story is inspired and based on the album Modus Vivendi by 070 Shake (or, more accurately, my interpretation of it).

Visa : VERSUS

"Alright Moon, lemme give you my number just in case you need to- wait, you have a cell, right?" 


I rush over to my bag, as I remember my phone for the first time since coming here. I scavenge for my cellular device underneath the uniforms and tools. I reach into one of the small pockets on the side. 


My gripper is pricked by something sharp. 


I pull the device out and see a screen smashed into tiny pieces. The back has been disconnected, causing wires to fall out of place and poke out from the sides. 


I hold it up daintily with my thumb and middle gripper and walk back out to the living room. 


"Ummm..." I awkwardly smile, embarrassed about what happened to my device. 


"Damn! Was the landing that rough? You know what, it doesn't matter. I doubt that thing would even work on this planet," Fuse disappears into her room. I hear drawers opening and closing. 


"Just keep this from now on," Fuse offers me as she walks out holding up a cell and charger.
