In the distant future, humans had managed to break the chains of gravity and explore beyond the limits of their home planet. They had colonized distant moons and planets and had even established mining colonies on the vast expanse of space rocks and asteroids that floated through the dark void of space. One of these mining colonies was situated on a large asteroid known as "Titanium Point." This was not a simple mining colony but rather a sprawling city with towering buildings, shining lights, and bustling streets. It was a city like no other, a marvel of engineering and human ingenuity.

In the heart of this city was the central mining complex, a sprawling maze of tunnels and conveyor belts, where the priceless titanium ore was extracted from the asteroid's rocky surface. The complex was a labyrinth of corridors and caves, filled with the rumble of drilling and the shrill sound of alarms. It was a place of danger and excitement, where miners risked their lives each day for the chance to strike it rich. It was also a place where the mysteries of the universe were just waiting to be uncovered, where science and technology would push the boundaries of what was possible.

As Y/n woke up the next morning, he felt the energy and excitement of a new school day flooding through him. He got dressed, brushed his teeth, and ate a quick breakfast before rushing out the door. The journey to school was short, just a couple of blocks down the main street, and soon, Y/n found himself at the gates of his elementary school. The school was a small building, and it looked like it had been there for a long time. The walls were made of rough, dark rock, and the roof was covered in patches of gray metal. The whole place had a sort of worn-out look to it, but it did not detract from the friendly atmosphere that exuded from the school. The students were running around, laughing and playing before classes began, and the teachers were already at work, setting up the classrooms for the day.

Y/n entered the building, greeted by the smiling faces of his classmates and teachers. The morning lessons went by quickly, as the students were eagerly learning about space and the stars. Y/n particularly enjoyed the subject of asteroid mining, and he listened closely as the teacher explained the process of drilling and extracting minerals from the asteroids. But today, something was different. As Y/n returned from school, he noticed the adults around him seemed more serious than usual. They were whispering to each other and occasionally glancing up at the artificial sky with worried expressions on their faces. Y/n didn't know what was going on, but he had a feeling that something bad was happening.

As Y/n sat with his parents at the dinner table, he could feel the tension in the air. His parents seemed lost in thought, and every so often, one of them would look outside the window, as if they were expecting something to happen. Y/n didn't understand what was going on, but he knew that something was not right. After dinner, Y/n retired to his room, but he could not sleep. The sounds of distant explosions and gunshots echoed through the colony, and Y/n knew that the colony was under attack. He looked through his window and saw the artificial sky turning red from the fires started by the raiders. The colony's defense forces were fighting back, but they were clearly outnumbered.

Suddenly, Y/n's parents burst into his room. "Y/n, we have to go now!" his mother said, "Get your things and follow us to the mobile suit hangar." Y/n was terrified as he dumped what he had in his school bag and threw a bunch of his things, including some snacks and a flashlight into the bag. He didn't understand what was happening, but he knew that they were in danger. As they hurried down the corridors of the colony, Y/n saw the destruction left in the raiders' wake. Buildings were burning, and people were running for their lives.
