And drug to the edge of the protective berm surrounding the moonbase.  The surviving crew entered the moonbase and found a drunk Cmdr Dmitry Ivanenkov blathering about an alien glow that killed half his crew and now threatens those huddled within the base. An alien that attacked and killed Dr. Weaver while in the Greenhouse. And just recently occupied the dead body of Major Frank Thompson and stood at the entry-door banging to get in. If the cracked helmet and ghoulish face of the major wasn’t enough to convince them, surely its yellow eyes were proof of its existence!

PLEASE, help me check on gramps!” So, it’s Peter and Essie, accompanied by Emilia and a tied-up Mary, driving to check on gramps. Peter already had Mary’s hands trussed up with a rope. “Well Mary, you’re going to get that chance to see the inside of the Webb’s cottage.” Emilia borrowed Sam’s coat, “I’m coming alone too!” Peter looked at Essie, “Care to be my sidekick on an investigation?” Hea...
