Mission Alpha (2006)
Destination: Venus
Astronauts: Stephen Smith (hab commander), Stefan Deyoung (interim hab commander after Stephen became contaminated, and had to be quarantined), Brian Foo (Co-hab commander, after Stefan also became contaminated, and also had to be quarantined), Nevin Hotson (Co-hab commander, with Brian), Johnathan Scothorn (pilot), Jeffrey Gao (Able Crewman)
Mission Purpose: To observe the effects of a thermonuclear device on a planet's weather patterns and geography.
Time: 4:30 PM - 10:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time), February 10th, 2006.
Notes
The plan was to employ the exploration robot for this mission, but the task force was unsucessful in getting it operational in time.
The Brahe 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, the astronauts had several sightings of hab gnomes inside the power box, and even on the planetary surface. The Habitat Commander was attacked by one such creature, and became infected with an unknown virus. As a result, a quarantine was imposed. Another astronaut, Stefan De Young, decided to enter the hotlab to care for the commander, but became contaminated through a flaw in the EVA suits and was forced to remain there until landing. The astronauts managed to destroy the virus by exposing the quarantined area to vacuum by venting the atmosphere in the module. Under the joint command of Nevin Hotson and Brian Foo, the crew returned sucessfully to Earth.
This mission also marked the return of the infamous [[Power Coupling], and the discovery of a firearm inside the hab, left over from Mission Gamma (2005), which was put to good use in defending against intruding hab gnomes and an irate Stefan.
