Plot Summary

A group of scientists investigate a deadly new alien virus before it can spread.

A U.S. Army satellite (Scoop VII) falls to earth near Piedmont, New Mexico. The recovery team experiences difficulties as it becomes clear that the satellite has performed its intended function all too well, and has brought back something from space. A team of scientists is assembled in a high-tech, underground facility to identify and defeat the "enemy" before it is too late. Written by Bruce Janson {bruce@cs.su.oz.au}
