ALPHA LOG RECORDER
COMPUTER SYSTEM ALR/5 BR83
"Moonbase Alpha Status Report."
"Fifteen hundred and three days after leaving Earth orbit."
"Doctor Helena Russell recording."
"Seven days ago a cloud having strange characteristics and containing unknown
elements appeared in our East Quadrant. Suddenly lassitude, depression and loss of
will has incapacitated most of our personnel. It has defied analysis by the medical
equipment at my disposal. Some of the personnel appear to have immunity, this skeleton
crew is keeping Moonbase Alpha barely operational. Astronaut Tom Graham who appeared
to have immunity was sent out 4 days ago in Eagle 6 to enter the suspect cloud. He
was to collect particles for analysis in the hope that I could make a diagnosis and
thus devise an antidote. Eagle 6 has failed to return from it's mission."
