Static rolls across the screen
as a familiar voice tries to
make itself heard. The image
slowly stabilizes to reveal...
Sandra Benes. But this is not
the Sandra we recall, this is
a more mature, weary Sandra.
She is addressing her message
to the people of planet Earth,
an Earth which may or may not
remember the people of Alpha,
or the tragedy that sent them
hurtling through the vastness of
space on a runaway Moon
almost twenty years ago. She
tells of Alpha's life support
systems showing increased signs
of decay, with failure inevitable.
The Moon has been pulled into
a solar system with a single
habitable planet. With only six
days before Alpha passes out
of reach, the painful decision
was made to abandon Alpha
to attempt colonization of the
planet. Operation Exodus is
almost complete. One eagle
waits for Sandra as she records
her message. John Koenig and
the rest of the Alphans have
already begun their new life
on the mysterious Terra Alpha.
It has been calculated that the
Moon's current trajectory may
cause it to slingshot back within
range of Terra Alpha twenty-
five years from now, but that is
not certain, nor could it be
factored into the final decision
to colonize the planet.
Sandra is certain of one thing.
"Moonbase Alpha is no more."
Although Alpha has now been
abandoned, it will always be
remembered as their refuge
in an unpredictable, and often
dangerous universe. It was their
home, bearing witness to
times of great happiness and
great sadness. Sandra explains
that her reason for making this
recording is to tell, those aware
of the Alphans, what became
of them, and those who were
not, that they did, in fact,
exist. To let them know that
they, as human beings, have
made an impact on the universe,
and that their journey was not
without purpose. She tells
us that Professor Bergman,
Paul, Michael, Luke and Anna,
will not be forgotten, and
that hopes of reunion with
Alpha will not fade. She closes
saying goodbye to the people
of Earth, and asking one thing
of those who receive her message.
"Remember us." Computer
encodes the transmission using
a device created by Maya, in
hopes that it will help the
signal to navigate the
complexities of time and space
to reach it's desired destination
on Earth. As the message is
encoded, one can't help but
notice the converted signal looking,
and sounding eerily familiar.
