Q:Build a movie plot around this: Where was the high-tech underground labratory? Piedmont, Utah
A:
A military space capsule has brought back to earth something - a disease, a biotoxin, an organism - which has destroyed a small town in New Mexico where everyone - including the soldiers sent to retrieve the capsule - has died either in bizarre and unusual ways or have committed suicide in grisly fashion. Except for two residents, an infant and an old man. A group of scientists at a secret underground laboratory in Nevada must determine why two essentially opposite subjects survived, essentially untouched by the otherwise lethal organism, and how to prevent the organism from spreading and causing a potentially worldwide catastophe. Due to an error in the design of the lab, the organism may trigger an even worse catastrophic disaster, possibly cause their own deaths as well.=========== A More Detailed Synopsis Follows ==========The Universal movie based on the Michael Crichton book opens with the Universal logo then "Acknowledgements. This film concerns the four-day history of a major American scientific crisis. We received the generous help of many people attached to Project Scoop at Vandenberg Air Force Base and the Wildfire Laboratory in Flatrock, Nevada. They encouraged us to tell the story accurately and in detail. The documents presented here are soon to be made public. They do not in any way jeopardize the national security." Title and credits follow.FIRST DAY (February 5, 1971)Two Air Force men, Lt. Shawn (Mark Jenkins) and Sgt.

They drive their van into town, all the while they are in direct communication with Vandenberg AFB, Scoop Mission Control. They talk to Lt. Comroe (Carl Reindel) and report progress. They report, "We see bodies, lots of them." Before they can retrieve the satellite they are attacked by, "something in white." Lt. Comroe calls Major Mancheck.Major Mancheck (Ramon Bieri) requests a reconnaissance flyby over the town. He requests, "Infrared. A FLIR scan, all sectors....
