Analysis Of The Mccrudo Space Station
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. At first Matt and Ricky dismiss the oddly timed radio silence as just a typical problem with connection, but as they enter a third week of radio silence the duo begin to feel that something might be wrong.
