In an unsurprising move today the Lunar Ambassador to the United States signaled their intent to break off relations with the Barak Obama Administration in the trail of escalating hostilities.
The move was believed largely due to a refusal late on the Ninth of October, 2009 to apologize and offer reparations to Lunar officials for the "unwarranted and illegal" attack on lunar facilities earlier that day. While staffers at the White House have refused to comment on these latest developments, unconfirmed reports at the Pentagon confirm signs of preparation for a retaliatory strike. Speaking on the promise of anonymity, a high ranking official at the Pentagon confirmed that the Lunar government has begun moving weapons for a retaliation strike into position. Shortly after NASA's strike, civilian and foreign sources confirmed detection of a six ton "moon rock" lifting from the lunar surface.
Rumors persist that this "rock" is being moved into position by moon residents in support of their demands for an apology and reparations from the US Government.
While this escalation continues, rampant speculation still circles the surprise decisions to attack the moon. Unconfirmed reports state the facility struck was being used to host a party of "dignitaries" visiting from Mars which recently was speculated to consist of members of the Squirrel government of that world. White House and Pentagon sources speculated last week that these may well be the same Squirrels which have participated in hostile attacks on US Exploration drones on Mars. As a result, relations between the White House and Lunar authorities began
to sink late last month as the State Department and White House encouraged and advised the Moon to cancel their plans to host the Mars delegation. With relations between the two powers sinking to an all time low, other Earthbound governments are advising restraint and preparing to deal with the fallout that would result from a significant meteor strike. Pentagon officials have privately assured the White House that Lunar officials would never take the action of executing a mass destruction attack on a terrestrial target due to the effect that would have
on innocent nations and peoples but tensions are rising.
To quote an unidentified NASA official, "Those Mars Squirrels have been attacking
our missions for years. They are terrorists, nothing less. If the Lunies[SiC]
want to host a party for them they put themselves in the target hairs.
