Quote:Sarah looks frightened, tired. All her face is cowered by sweat. After a few minutes of silence she sighs and begins to talk. Sometimes, lights in the room obviously blinks.
-My name is doctor Sarah Abignail... one of the members of IRV-Shade scientists crew---[STATIC]

Strange sound in background can be heard. It reminds a sound of creaky metal. Sarah looks around.
-Foxtrot found... something... unknown there... we found all crew died... floating in space next to scout, and one of the crew members inside the vessel... he shotted himself. Aboard the ship there was unknown object... [STATIC]
[STATIC]--- Doctor Phoenix refused to throw it to the open space... he didn't understood the risk and the harm of that object. [STATIC]
[HIGH STATIC. A BIG PART OF RECORD CANNOT BE RECOVERED]

Tears in her eyes can be seen.
-There's no other way... only a dive into sun...
[HIGH STATIC. A BIG PART OF RECORD CANNOT BE RECOVERED]
