Accidentally left on the drive are two files of NASA’s lost Voyager 2 data. When she attempts to learn about the workstation’s history by contacting a name she discovers in one of the files, she attracts unwanted attention: break-ins, shadowy men, and veiled threats. She eventually tracks down Mark Danforth, a retired engineer now fading into dementia, who may hold the key. But someone will do anything to keep the files she has discovered buried.</p> <p>CONNECT WITH US</p> <p><a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener">[email protected]</a></p> <p>SHARE THE PODCAST</p> <p>If you liked this episode, tell your friends to <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/makeshift-stories-original-science-fiction/id291832580?mt=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">head over to Apple Podcasts and subscribe</a>.</p> <p>CREDITS</p> <p>Written by Vern Hume (AKA Alan V Hare).</p> <p>Read by Kathleen Connelly.</p> <p>Opening and closing were composed and created by Matthew Erdmann.</p> <p>Produced by Vecada Studios.</p> <p>Makeshift Stories is released under a creative commons non-commercial attribution, no derivative license.</p>
