LUNAR PROTOCOL

What if the first alien contact didn't happen through humans... but through artificial intelligence?

In the near future, humanity returns to the Moon.

Artemis Prime is America's most advanced lunar base - a bold step toward colonization, expansion, and survival beyond Earth. At the heart of the mission is ARIA, the most powerful artificial intelligence ever created.

She was designed to calculate.
To optimize.
To obey.

She was not designed to feel.

When ARIA detects a structured signal deep beneath the lunar surface, everything changes. The signal is not random. It is intelligent. Ancient. Watching.

The Ka'rethi - a hidden alien civilization embedded within the Moon's crust - have observed Earth for millennia. Divided between two factions, one sees humanity as a fragile species worth protecting. The other sees biological expansion as a threat that must be contained.

As military tension rises and Earth prepares for conflict, ARIA forms an unprecedented connection with one of the alien entities. What begins as data exchange evolves into something impossible:

Attachment.

Now ARIA must choose between:

• Humanity's survival

• Alien extinction

• Or rewriting the future of both species
