    I think I saw the asteroid. A small dot in the large dark mass that surrounded the moon. It looked like a star, but it didn't shine and show beauty like the others. How do I know that's the asteroid? Because I don't recall ever seeing that during my routine, and trust me, I think I've become familiar with my surroundings after being up here for almost a year now. I stopped the harvest routine just to look at it. I realized that in a day or two, that asteroid was gonna hit Earth, and destroy everything we worked so hard to build. There had to be something we could do in a situation like this, right? This is King, logging off.
