PLOT
Jupiter's Day
M-03
--------
Astronomy still exist in 2050. But it is carried mainly by machines,
leaving human astronomers just to evaluate data and build great theories.
An evil decker has infiltrated the astronomy matrix and had twisted
incoming data to show that Jupiter in on crash route with Earth. After
a period of pure panic, astronomers detach the observation computers
and see the difference in raw and processed data. Two months later, the
network is cleaned and its work is restarted. The same thing happen with
Mars, and, two months later, with Venus. After three times, the astronomers
don't care much about the data showing that the Zurich Orbital is on crash
route with south Seattle and disconnect the matrix for big time maintenance.
But the ground tracking stations loose any contact with the Orbital...
J:"Sure, the ticket is prepaid, and don't worry about gravity loss..."

Game: Note that, in a revolving space station, bullets follow strange paths
and can be REALLY dangerous is they don't hit some target.
