Desertion

Intro

List

• Commissioner Simmonds forced his way onto a Kaldorian spaceship that was on its way to Earth. This action included threatening Alpha. The Kaldorian captain, Zantor, who allowed himself to be taken hostage by Simmonds, decided to allow Simmonds on board, despite the former calling the latter (verify:) "diseased." The spaceship launched. However, given the circumstances, Simmonds had not been scanned into the ship's (verify:) "matrix" for suspended animation needed for the 75-year journey to Earth, and he woke up in what amounted to a prison of his own making, doomed to die soon of (probably) thirst.
• Luke Ferro and Anna Davis: stole supplies, held Dr. Russell hostage, stole an Eagle and moonbuggy; all to try settling and repopulating planet Arkadia after both experienced visions there. They became a colony, fate unknown, of the Moon. (in TOA)

Notes

• Desertion could have also included those disappearing more quietly from base, of their own accord, without leave -- but no such incidents known.
