VOICE OF REASON
Randal Strong, a civilian with powerful ties to the military, is able to summon a high level meeting at the Pentagon. His mission is to convince the US Military Chiefs that aliens from other pllanets pose a very dangerous and imminent threat to the human race.
He cites numerous examples, including Simon Kress' Sandkings experiment gone awry and the destruction by an astronaut of a mars mission in its final stage, because of an alien presence on the spacecraft.
The meeting continues into the night, punctuated by very explicit examples of alien invasion, on videotape, and Committe Chaiman Thornwell seems to be Strong's biggest stumbling block.
So when, after much deliberation, the Committee votes not to act on Strong's request, the civilian is horrified at the result, and suspecting that Thornwell may be an alien in disguise, he shoots him.
Although Strong's instincts were correct, and there were aliens in the meeting, Thornwell was not one of them. As Strong is led away by guards, he realizes he must continue his fight to protect the earth from alien beings.
