Notes
We were planning to employ our exploration robot for this mission, but were unsucessful in getting it opperational in time.
We sustained a rather violent impact on Venus, and due to gravitational flux, our AYSE drive unit lost its orbit and was destroyed by a violent crash onto Venus.
During the mission, we had several sightings of hab gnomes inside the power box, and even on the planetary surface. Our hab commander was attacked by one such creature, and became infected with an unknown virus. As a result, a quarantine was imposed. Our acting hab commander, Stefan Deyoung, rashly decided to risk himself and attend to Stephen in the quarantine room, thus forfieting his command integrity by exposing himself to the virus. We managed to destroy the virus by exposing the quarantined area to vacume by venting the atmosphere in the room. Under the joint command of Brian Foo, and Nevin Hotson, we retourned sucessfully to Earth.
this mission also marks the retourn of the infameous fuel cell, and the discovery of a firearm inside the hab, left over from Mission Gamma (2005).
