Every fibre of his being fought the instinct to fire immediately. And then there it was, moving like a shooting star, right towards him. In seconds, he was hurtling up from the barren grey surface and into the black, starry void. Flying the craft in basic training simulations had been one thing, but engaging a fully armed enemy UFO? Well, there was no other choice.ДЄs soon as the launch platform eased to a halt, Freeman blasted off and set course as relayed by SID. Without any able-bodied crew to assist, Freeman left Doctor Jackson at the control console and raced to the Interceptor bay. However, Freeman was able to re-establish a link with SID and confirmed a lone UFO was passing close to the Moon, slowing its approach in readiness to attack.

The logs had been badly corrupted, no doubt due to a Moonbase technician mistaking her monitoring computer for some kind of musical keyboard. There were similar sights all through the base.Д®ntering the standby lounge, Freeman had to tackle Astronaut Bradley, who had been about to, вЂњAbseil right out of an airlock.вЂќ Confining the affected crew to their quarters, Freeman and Jackson reported to Straker, who ordered them to double check the latest reports from SID. Jackson diagnosed a kind of targeted hypnosis, one that rendered the victim unaware of their present surroundings by amplifying a vivid memory from the past. Reaching the control sphere, the two men were surprised when Lieutenant Ellis approached in a daze and asked if they wanted a balloon or some candyfloss. One person was found hanging by their arms from a ceiling bracket shouting, вЂњKeep away, theyвЂ™ll get you!вЂќ Crew members asleep in the hallways, some laughing hysterically. Arriving just less than 24 hours after contact was lost, Freeman and Jackson discovered a myriad of bizarre sights. Almost at once, all memory of Moonbase and SHADO was gone and I was just climbing the rope.вЂќДisturbed by the lack of communications from the lunar base, Commander Straker dispatched Colonel Alec Freeman and Doctor Jackson to Moonbase on the emergency Lunar Shuttle. IвЂ™d done something very similar on my last spell of leave.

As I crossed the room, I suddenly found myself halfway up a mountain, hanging from a climbing rope. Interceptor Pilot Mark Bradley also experienced unusual visions stating, вЂњI was in the standby room, about to make myself a coffee. I didnвЂ™t know how I got there, but within moments it felt like itвЂ™s where I belonged.вЂќ One moment I was at my console in the control sphere and the next I was at a fairground, one IвЂ™d only ever visited as a child. Lieutenant Ellis, in command when the Alien weapon was deployed recalls, вЂњIt was very strange. The effect of this terrible weapon varied from person to person. Investigations revealed it was no natural phenomenon, but rather an artificially induced mental state unleashed as part of the ongoing war with the Alien aggressors from an unknown planet. SHADO Moonbase was thrown into chaos two days ago by the sudden outbreak of a so-called вЂњSpace FeverвЂќ.
