[10.7.3.:-Jodhpur-INDIA 2090
.1 Three years after the moon saved the earth from a deadly meteor, it floats awkwardly in the sky. It saved our old planet, but at what cost?
.2 The moon's irregular orbit caused widescale disruption. In November 2089 the international powers agreed to put their differences aside to sort the problem and a year later Russian, American and European astronauts began drilling the first holes on the moon. These holes held the anchors that allowed the huge 8 Taruminium fibres to be attatched. The fibres were built on earth first and then rapidly attatched as the moon came past on its regual orbit. Then, over the next 10 hours the moon slowy fell towards its predicted crash site in the Himalayas (mountain range, lost in the Mid-Colonial Period Interplanetary War). The fall created massive tides and altered the flow of many rivers. In particular, the river Tuni was flooded causing a massive power surge at the Masipur Hydro-electric unit. The result is clearly shown in the picture above; Jodhpur lit up like a Neode. Not only this, but at the time of image the city had just received a earthquake measuring 8.9 on the richter scale. Structural design being quite advanced at the time, this was not generally a problem, apart from the usual panick. However it is possible to observe several fractures on the double-towered residential structure to the left of the picture.
.3 Some say that the move to disintegrate was a mistake, they would argue that the Castinislav Theory would have yielded a far better result for the populous. It is an arguable issue but it is pointless to ponder on the 'what ifs'. The satellite was recycled in accordance with the 2015 Universal Environmental Preservation act and furthermore there was no significant argument among earth's people.
.4 In Addition, many historians see this as a huge turning point in the history of humanity. The end of the moon signifies the end of the 'Ignorance Age' and the beginning of the 'Simulation Age'. It is just the beginning of the huge chain of events that would lead to the creation of the casuistric society we know and conform to today.

Agreed. POV is awesome. Like the light usage as well. There's something I don't like about the color but the composition and modeling makes up for it.
