Beach

Beach was Hotwater's only moon. It's orbit got unstable due to the proximity of the planet to Tontity. It's name came from the large amount of beaches on its rocky surface, although the oceans were not water... THE FLOOR IS LAVA!!!!111!!!

## Surface

Beach was a rocky moon, so it had a solid surface to stand on, unlike it's parent planet, Hotwater. Located at about 981 km from it's planet, the sky was mostly covered by the planet, the rest was mostly covered by Tontity.

Its surface had a few islands scattered across the lava. Kiki Mokeke "The Wah" believes these were mountains in an epoch when it was further out in space, before its planet got closer in to the star, taking Beach with it.

The population lived on the coastal areas of the islands, so that everyone had the beach in their sight even at home.

## Climate and Atmosphere

Beach had an atmosphere, which means it had weather. However, the extreme conditions of this moon made the climate extreme as well.

First, there was vomit rain. This happens when a huge meteor orbiting Hotwater collided into Beach, causing it to spin like a top. People vomited on it's surface, then the vomit (and people's livers) turn into Steam TM, and the steam formed clouds that are driven to the night side. Eventually, blood, pieces of livers (and sometimes bones) and vomit rained down from the sky.

Next, there were super heat waves. These happen when Beach and Hotwater are closest to their star. The lava level increased so much that sometimes 70% of the inhabited areas got flooded. The only way to survive is to go to the roof of buildings or uphill, something the low gravity makes possible.

Lastly, there were intense winds all year round. See, Beach was so hot, it's atmosphere was streched away from the moon - that is what made it look like there is fire around it. This caused a huge temperature variation between two parts of the atmosphere, which, in turn, produced wind. It gets more intense as Beach approached Tontity though, so that is a warning for anybody smart on the moon to realize that a heat wave is coming...

## Ratings

*"Best moon ever"* - Gadget Dumb, from Hotwater.

*"Turists have a lot of fun when swimming in the warm water. I wonder though why they don't ever talk again"* - Cococo Tontic, from Tertin.

*"This moon is interesting scientifically, but I don't understand why did we choose to colonize it. We're so dumb I guess"* - Kiki Mokeke "The Wah", from Earth.

## History

According to Kiki Mokeke "The Wah", this moon was once like any other, as Hotwater formed far from Tontity. However, as the planet kept gobbling up stuff, it lost velocity and fell towards Tontity until its orbit was stabilized. Beach followed Hotwater and got extremly hot when it reached its current position. That is why it's got lava.

Tontity has known about Beach ever since the tertinian year 2001, and they sent the first crew there in 2051. They were the crew of the first model of starship: the Useless Paper Craft. They said Beach was perfect for future habitation. The Useless Paper Craft 8, sent in 2157, "confirmed" that fact and colonization begun. By 2190, people could start living on the surface of Beach.

Beach participated in various wars, including civil wars.

Beach was classified to citizens as *mostly* harmless, according to Tontic Prime.

In 3121, the moon crossed the Roche Limit of its parent and got destroyed. It's fragments fell to the planet shortly after.
