Engineer Benson whipped up some makeshift electric control prods to help recapture thee alien, and you are holding one in front of you as you move slowly forward. The sultry voice of your lieutenant, Rebecca Davis come over your headset. "Commander, there are life form readings in your immediate vicinity. Be careful." "Thanks, Becky. I'll watch out."
