The Rabbit Hole Lunar Stations are a series of simple lunar stations established by the United Nations International Space Cooperation (ISC) during the Sunset Era. Constructed by the first true artificial intelligence robot, Alice, they are part of the Alice Project and serve as precursors to future lunar bases.
Name
The Rabbit Hole Lunar Stations are named using the pattern “location + hole,” such as “Tranquility Sea North Hole.” This naming reflects Alice‘s Lepus robotic body which has a lot of rabbit traits. While digging these holes, the messy and arduous process reminded Alice’s classmates of their “class rabbit” Cloud (male rabbits aren’t good at digging holes). Thus, they playfully call these stations “Rabbit Holes.”
Purpose and Structure
Alice built these underground stations to manage temperature fluctuations between the lunar day and night, shield against meteorite impacts, and collect lunar rock samples. Since she worked alone with limited resources, the stations are quite basic. Each station has a lamp, a small server, and a battery pack. Outside, spare equipment is scattered randomly, with several solar panels surrounding the station. Alice parks her lunar rover nearby for charging.
Development
The Rabbit Hole Lunar Stations were initially only meant to be temporary shelters for Alice. As more robots arrived and heavy equipment became available, they gradually evolved into fully-fledged lunar bases.
