This cache is dedicated to the novel Andromeda Strain by Micheal
Cricton.
A Nobel-Prize-winning bacteriologist, Jeremy Stone, urges the
president to approve an extraterrestrial decontamination facility
to sterilize returning astronauts, satellites, and spacecraft that
might carry an "unknown biologic agent." The government agrees,
almost too quickly, to build the top-secret Wildfire Lab in the
desert of Nevada. Shortly thereafter, unbeknownst to Stone, the
U.S. Army initiates the "Scoop" satellite program, an attempt to
actively collect space pathogens for use in biological warfare.
When Scoop VII crashes a couple years later in the isolated Arizona
town of Piedmont, the Army ends up getting more than it asked for.
