14h 32min, jan 14, 1999 y - AZ-001's Low Earth Orbit photographs are presented to Dr. James Gardner

Description:

Dr. Evans: "The images from the Deep Observation Platform have been developed. Take a look, sir."

Dr. Gardner: "This is unprecedented. This is beyond words."

Dr. Evans: "I know. Only the operators and Dr. O'Donnell have seen them yet."

Dr. Gardner: "An urgent statement must be made within the hour. We must be prepared for this. Mentally prepared. We have long since known of AZ-001's anomalisitc properties, but seeing what it looks like is... horrifying, to say the least."

Dr. Evans: "Two of the operators working at the platform resigned upon seeing this object. The rest were filled with a conviction to defend the eyes of their loved ones from AZ-001. I think we will see a similar ratio of resignations throughout the organization. Do be advised."

Dr. Gardner: "It's understandable. Now is no time to falter, Evans. The dawn of a new day is arriving. Prepare yourself."
