about

02.10.2041: Miners working in the remote Chukotka region of north east Russia have unearthed the voice data recorder (VDR) that belonged to the space vessel “Vakunøht” – designated ‘Missing in Service’ since lines of communication were disengaged on 30.10.37. The VDR unit is returned to the ‘Gagarin’s Start’ launch site at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan for assessment.

The “Vakunøht” vessel was launched with a crew of four cosmonauts (as required by Venusian legislative notice 5.9d) from an earth parking orbit on 04.02.2037, setting out on what should have been a routine 120 day reconnaissance procedure to make studies of the Venusian atmosphere and other phenomena associated with the planet Venus; as the Venera 7 probe had set out to do when launched in 1970.

The VDR’s distorted transcripts are delivered in both Russian and English (including a seldom heard dialect from the Alba quadrant) and although badly damaged, with data being delivered in a random sequence, scientists at the site have managed to extract a limited quantity of vital information. This includes details of sentient parasitic ‘insect like’ creatures, crew suffering from severe emotional breakdown (including suicide), hostile aliens amassing an attack force and a sexual encounter with an intelligent cephalopod.

Once extracted, this data is handed to a team of experienced cultural interpreters based in an underground space laboratory located in the G40 sector of Alba, who undertake the “Vakunøht” review project. Codename: ‘Gagarin’s Start’. Their mission is to translate the endeavours of the “Vakunøht” vessel’s bold crew into a tonal libretto, using ‘whatever means necessary’, that will allow future generations to salute the brave efforts of these heroic Russian cosmonauts.
