TEASER
- A group of astronauts (including HoS) clean spacetech
- They come back in through the airlock
- One of the astronauts go berserk and kills the doctor
- The head of security kills the berserk astronaut
ACT ONE
- Daily life in the spaceport/base, but
- ‘infected’ show up
- The ‘infected’ are quarantined
- The HoS gets mad because he is quarantined despite being healthy
- The High-Executive from the company shows up in their ship
- He gets upset at the Commander
- They find more and more people with signs of the ‘infected’, but only people who were outside the base, on missions.
- They are quarantined as well and the base is shut down.
- The Commander orders a full-medical analysis of quarantine
ACT TWO
- ‘Infection’ rate stalls after base is shut down
- Head of Security presents personal complaint to High-Executive
- High-Executive removes commander from status,
- Replaces him with the Head of Security.
- Head of Security removes everyone ‘healthy’ from quarantine
- He starts surface tech missions under pressure of High-Executive
- The first two missions appear nominal, but the third has an airlock malfunction (doors won’t close)
- The astronauts come in clean, but “odd” behavior, worker attacked by an invisible being
- The ‘unhealthy’ quarantined victims slowly but finally become unmoving/peaceful</catatonia?>
ACT THREE
- The Head of Security appeals to the Commander, behind the Executive’s back (change of heart)
- A hydroponics worker tells the medical bay about being attacked by glowing humanoid? <not sure about alien’s appearance>
- The Executive’s ship is sabotaged by someone (implied ‘infected’)
- The Commander orders a partial evacuation of the spaceport, the section with the attacks isolated
- One of the “odd” astronauts starts an irreversible impending nuclear meltdown
- The doctor informs the Commander that the quarantine + dead astronaut cells contain no human DNA (they’re alien)
- Another “odd” astronaut releases all the aliens in containment
- The Commander holds off on further evacuation due to the mimicking aliens
- The spaceport goes under red alert

- They can’t leave because the docking mechanism is broken/jammed
- The Commander, the Pilot, and the 2nd in Command shuttle to the Executive’s ship and make their way in

ACT FIVE
- The planned trajectory will take too long
- The Commander decides to use the broken FTL engine on the emergency ship
