Some games are still played because of their deceptive simplicity. The prize remains even if the players change. The outcomes are never certain, whether it was the first round at first light or the last round before the lights go out. Newcomers to the game can still defeat old masters.

Luna, South Aitken Basin, On a train en route to Shackleton Crater, Hyperion
“APPROACHING SHACKLETON. HYPERION LOADING BAYS.” said the train.
“Tommy, everyone, suit up, we’re going to look like security and maintenance crews.”
“Copy that. They know Grissom’s been caved in. There will be questions. The LTSB.”
“They’re busy with the Harvest’s landing. Necker is focused on Harvest. He handed dealing with the civilians to the his security people, hired hands.
The ship we jacked was from Collins Field outside Armstrong, registered to a SC contractor. TwoTwo made sure the shipyard logs will show faulty maintenance by a Hyperion contractor. Necker’s people will make sure the LTSB becomes a rubber stamp.
They planned on rounding up the civilians but now they’re going to think they were all in Grissom.
There’s only token security in Shackleton, we boxed, buried most of them at Grissom.”“What about was left behind in Armstrong? Won’t they be heads up?”
“It’s the same, token forces, TwoTwo will take them out, after hiding the civilians.”
“So we’ll just look like some lucky survivors who hitched a ride on this supply train.”
“Right. Team One heads to landing crews for Harvest. The Team Two reports in to debrief at their control tower. We take the landing field and the control tower.
As rumors will start flowing through the rank and file about what happened to the civilians, many of whom they knew personally. Those civilians were the family of contractors who walked off or ran away from Hyperion. They’re not going to be happy, and that will distract Necker’s people, and not notice us, we’ll blend in.”
“How do you know word’s going to get around?”
“Because we’re going to start those rumors before we take the landing field and the control tower.”
“Necker could hole up somewhere in Hyperion, and hold us off. He might call Houston for help. He could have access to the Harvest and then we’re done.”
“We’ll take their reactors offline, and break their batteries. They’ll go to backups.”
“They’ll roll-over to solar backups. That’s almost constant daylight on it.”
“Check the calendar, Tommy. There’s an eclipse coming. That’s when we’ll take him.”
The captain turned to everyone, and said, “Others began this but we're going to stop it. We didn't ask for this responsibility but we accept because it's right. We decide."
“ARRIVING SHACKLETON, HYPERION LOADING BAYS. PREPARE TO DISEMBARK”
