text: In the year 2033, where humanity has reached a place where the development in science and technology is in its best like never before. As a result all the countries in the world came together and formed a combined space expedition program named SpaceExplore. The Aim of this program is to colonize moon by 2050. In order to achieve the goal, SpaceExplore has sent several scientists and men from various fields to the moon and made them built a space colony and with this, it will help them in determining whether moon is suitable for habituation. So, SpaceExplore has requested all the countries to select a few people from their respective countries and in each year one person from every country will be sent to moon. The only task the people sent are given, and that is to survive and start civilization. And if the people sent every year till 2045, manages to survive without any complications, this program will be considered as success and by 2050 all the people interested in shifting to moon will be sent and the moon will become our second home. Considering requests from SpaceExplore the countries have picked a few people and made them prepare for their first expedition in space. As a result the selected few have to undergo 6 months of space program training and survival programs. Several years have passed since and the world is in 2043. The program seemed to go well and all the previous sent people have shown a consistency in their stay in moon. None of them reported sick or any illness. This sent a wave of joy all around the globe and people started to think of buying the lands in moon and this resulted in the real estate business and several other business coming in the picture for future stay in moon. The confidence in people have increased when even SpaceExplore also announced “the program is almost 80 percent success and within no time the human civilization will be reaching the moon.” “Now it is the year 2044 “January” and it is my turn to be sent to the moon”. “I am smith from New York. I work as Network Security Engineer for a reputed company. I am 26 years old.” “So, “bud” finally it is your turn for the moon?” asked my friend Dan. “Yes, bud” I replied nervously and also afraid. Seeing me, Dan started making fun of me and said that I am afraid of nothing and in return he also said “that I fear for everything and I am a scaredy cat.” The actual reason for me to be afraid is not because I am scared or else I love to stay in earth or not even that I miss my family. It’s because I know the truth. And I have got to know the truth just a day before. A certain something said by SpaceExplore last year in November was my motivation behind finding the truth behind the SpaceExplore program. It said that “the program is very successful and no person reported sick till now”. This statement was the reason why I had my doubts because people when in earth which is the most suitable planet for to live and still many people fall ill and many die due to some or other illness. But why everyone in the moon did reported no illness till now and it’s already been 10 years since the people gone there. Seeing everything to be going perfect did not make no sense to me. First I thought it was my assumption as a security engineer and also hacker. “Yes”. I also am a hacker and no one knows about this, not even my parents or best friends. It is my own dirty secret because I am no ethical hacker. I thought that I may find answers, if I find what exactly happens in the 6 months training program before going to moon. I also felt strange that SpaceExplore has a strict rule that the people once entered the training cannot come in contact with the people outside or vice versa. So, I decided to hack into SpaceExplore Database and find out the truth. I have tried to get into the system for the whole month and found it very difficult to penetrate into the system. Such was the security of SpaceExplore. Maybe that’s why no one has been able to hack into the system till now I though. Otherwise, he would have exposed all the things he found in it to the world. It is almost New Year and I decided to give up on hacking into the SpaceExplore and just then when I switched on the television, I found out that the guy who is a part of the system security in the SpaceExplore is none other than the security Engineer of my first company. I have always hated him as he was such a jerk. I decided to use him to hack into the system. I called him up and asked him if I could meet him for New Year. He quickly accepted and hence we met in his home and partied all night. Just what I wanted. I used his home Wi-Fi to hack into his system and placed a bug there. Next day when he logged in, I was able to get his credentials and it helped me to hack into the database. What I saw when going over the database shocked me to the core. And for a moment I couldn’t even think straight and whole night has passed and I still am scared to the core. I had taken leave from office as I was unable to digest what I saw. After finding out the truth, I decided to hide so that no one would find me and later expose the truth. So the next day I went to office so that no one would grew suspicious of me and started to prepare for my hiding and also to think of a plan to expose SpaceExplore. To execute the plan I need someone’s help to expose them and also help me with information and stuff. To that I need someone trustworthy and also intelligent. The only person that came to my mind was Dan and also he is the only friend I have. So, I invited Dan to my home next day to seek his help. He came to my home, I explained him everything and asked him to help me fight SpaceExplore so that many others along with me will be saved. The truth that I found was, “that the whole SpaceExplore program was one big scam and the people who were sent to where being killed. All the things about building space colony and sending scientists establishing of human civilization were lies. The database stated that we still don’t have the required technology for civilizing moon and it will take lots of money and time to create that sort of technology. It is only possible for us to go to moon only after the year 2100 only after everything goes well. So for SpaceExplore to achieve that they need Money in huge amounts. As the governments cannot provide that kind of money as they have their own countries to run and also their own pockets to fill. So SpaceExplore along with governments of different nations came up with a plan of fake Space program and make believe in it which as a result people will get drawn to it and will start buying lands on the moon and various business will start and can get money from people all around the world. Later when people question they always can say something happened in the last moment. As people are foolish and will believe anything media and government says. So that is the reason they picked one person per country because if they would choose more people that would raise in suspicion and also the people whom government selected were mostly orphans and someone with one or two family members alive. The reason being if they select the people of these categories they wouldn’t have any families that would want to contact them.” Even I was selected because I have no one expect my father who have abandoned me and got married, now lives with his wife. Dan accepted to my request and decided to help me. As I have only a week to go to space training program, we decided that I would go into hiding two days before as it would cause huge uproar and that starts questioning people. And after that based upon the situation we would find out a way to expose the truth to the world. If I had the copy of database I could have directly put it in the internet but the server didn’t allow me to do so as the policies and information protection system for the data are so strong and advanced. The day has come and I went into the hiding. But to my surprise there was no uproar in the media which seemed strange as normally media would come up to the houses of people who would go to space and try to interview them. And moreover I am the only one in the whole United States going for this year and everyone knows. The day has passed without any cause and everything was normal and I went to sleep. The next day when I woke up I was shocked seeing around. I was in the headquarters of SpaceExplore and didn’t know how I got here. I was tied to a chair inside a room that looked like a laboratory. And suddenly two people entered the room one was an official and the other Dan. Seeing Dan I understood that he is the reason I got captured and that he betrayed me as he was scared that government would harm him and if he told everything they might pay him ransom amount. Dan showed me the check he received from SpaceExplore and thanked me for telling him the truth so that he earned this money. He was about to go, just then some people with armored guns came inside the room along with a person. He is none other than SpaceExplore’s CEO Michael James. As soon as he came he ordered one of his henchmen to shoot Dan. After Dan got shot he turned towards me and said no one escapes from SpaceExplore after knowing the truth. At that moment I decided that even I would be killed, but to my surprise Michael ordered me to work for him in securing their Systems. He told that he would like to employ because he was impressed by me as I am able to penetrate the SpaceExplore Systems but in return I would be forever restricted from going outside and will be under 24 hour surveillance or else I can die right here. Having no other way I am struck here forever working for SpaceExplore. But I am also waiting for an opportunity so that I can expose everything to the world. The End
