Clinton finally finished the rocket and went out on his first journey of space exploration. He hadn't got far just outside the atmosphere when he received a distress call it seems a ship had gotten into difficulties close by. He had gone over to investigate and found a small ship similar to his own. Clinton took a risk and bought aboard the sole occupant. Her name was Angel Mahan-Mai she was a teenager from Newcrest Heights (The Next town over) She told him her story. He took her home to the Vault and she entered quarantine.
Clinton sat the family down and told them about the new Addition and her story. " Her mother is a lead scientist and knew about the virus Angel had been put on the rocket and sent to Sixam to live with her older sister and family who had relocated there long before the virus had been discovered.. Unfortunately the autopilot had malfunctioned along with the communications system. Unable to contact her Mum on Earth or her sister on Sixam, Angel had been stranded for the best part of a year, Alone praying someone would hear the distress beacon the ship was sending out before the power failed." Clinton told them feeling quite Heroic. His confidence soon turned to dismay as Papaya had news of her own.
"It's Hunter.........." she struggled to get the words out " I think he was Messing around with my samples in the lab and.......... Well he's been infected......." Papaya's eyes fell to the floor. She couldn't bear to see the heartbreak in her husbands face. Clintons stomach lurched as he caught sight of his son.
Papaya became somewhat of a recluse and when she was not at work she was in the lab. desperate to find a cure for her son. Clinton turned to drink and was never without a drink or two in his hand. He blamed Papaya for bringing the virus into their home and couldn't bear to be around anyone. He watched his Boy from a distance. What was the point in carrying on!!.
Clinton went out on his final Mission and never returned..
