FAN! project, and their completed work was to be the first of the revived fanzines. The Last Fans broke open refreshments, drank a toast to the new fandom. With the tinkle of shattering glass in their ears, the members of Renascent Fandom departed unto their work. [line break] ------------- The succeeding years are a chronicle of growing activity. The four dominating groups of the Renscent Fandom acted as the focus for more missionary work. Simultaneously, they kept their own local clubs functioning, and the Four continued their cooperation under the Quadrumvirate. The outer world in all these years had progressed through fire, flood and famine. The first rocket to the moon had been succeeded by others, with the final establishment of a military station on Luna, garrisoned by a rotating force of the dominant Western Nations. The midwest conference of the Last Fans had been held prior to the Luna Base Flight, and while the reviving of fandom went on, the progress of science advanced along more peaceful byways, since warfare was unthinkable in the face of the Western Nations' strategic superiority. Fans in general viewed this advance with favor, since it provided them with an ideal background for activity in fandom free from the interruptions of war, depression of interplanetary travel, confident that the Lunarian outpost was but the first feeler.
