"Hey you...we're not paying you to sleep you know!" A voice shouts from above. The computer operator picks his head up quickly and looks behind him. "General Marks, I didn't expect to see you today!" he says nervously while walking over to shake his hand. General Thomas "Tommy" Marks was in his late 40's with slight graying hair. "Well it seems we've run into a bit of trouble and we need your help...follow me." The two men leave the main communications room and walk down a stretch of hallway to a private office. "Please sit down" he says to the curious operator. The general opens a file on his desk and reads from it. "Your name is Mr. Fredrick Morgan correct?" The computer operator nods his head. "Yes sir that would be me." "Well Mr. Morgan...can you keep a secret?" "What kind of secret are we talking about sir?" General Marks opens his desk and pulls out another file. "Tell me what you can make of this." He says while handing the file to Morgan. Morgan glances at the file, "It's in Morse code?" The general nods. "Our top secret communications satellites pick this up 3 hours ago." Morgan looks at him with a confused look on his face, "Sir, this is NASA...how come it didn't come up on our satellites?" The general stands and walks around the other side of the desk to Morgan, "It's an SOS call Mr. Morgan." General Marks walks out of his office and towards the main communications room again. Morgan rushes out of the office and follows, "Sir, what do you mean an SOS call?" "Where is it coming from?" The general walks over to a monitor and presses a few keys. The two men watch the main screen as a map of our solar system appears. He adds in coordinates and the map zooms in on an area of uncharted space. Morgan looks over at the general, "There's nothing there sir, its just space." Marks looks over at Morgan with a grin on his face, "Your right Mr. Morgan, but when we scan this area for radiation deposits..." The map changes and a bright red dot emerges where the blank space once existed. The general adds, "It is a planet approximately 185 light years from earth." Morgan looks on in disbelief, "How is this possible?" "Well Mr. Morgan, that's what we're trying to figure out."
