Year 2055, Day 110. The McCrudo space station orbits three hundred miles above earth. Four antennas extend from the station point to the earth bellow like tentacles. Inside the space station, a two man research team, consisting of MATT and RICKY, conduct various experiments relating to the planetary movements. The whole operation runs smoothly until they lose contact with mission control just several months before they’re supposed to be relived from duty.

That’s until Matt and Ricky finally receive a video call from LUKE, one of mission control’s operators. Reluctantly, Luke reveals the real reason for the three months of radio silence. There’ s a virus outbreak of unknown origin sweeping across the world, but that everything is under control by the CDC and that their mission is still on schedule. Matt asks about his wife, but Luke ignores him. He requests Matt and Ricky to remain focused on their task at hand and forget about everything he said. In the mean time he promises Matt he’ll try and get hold of his wife and see what he can do to establish a connection between them. Reluctantly, Matt and Ricky …show more content…
