Thank you.

My thought about changing the atmosphere is related to the experience of my own inner world. Sometimes I tend to have a dark mood but when life demands a challenge I rise out of this inner melancholy and find myself taking up fresh motivation.

Here was, what I was thinking:

The 19 towers represent the good and the bad. They were built for scientific purposes. In one of the towers they began to experiment with an alien living form they found on a mission and it was planned to do some further experiments on the space station. The human race put the building under high surveillance as they stored there material from outer space.

Ethan, who is still in love with a botanist working in one of the other towers - but the relationship didn't work out - (therefore he thinks of names) fears for his beloved one down there and lets his fear take over into blaming the rulers of the research-team. He had found that the living form was too soon brought down to Earth as they already had noticed some extraordinary intelligence in the alien. From his point of view the team should have experimented with the form in orbit, not risking terrestrial life without knowing enough about the alien. The beauty of his planet and its fragility takes him into his moods ever so often. But as he also is a man of action his survival instincts kick in, also trained by his years of practice as an astronaut.

I played with the experienced audience as they already know that aliens are always kind of dangerous and that experiments mostly go wrong. We all of course know: Never let an alien come through, keep the doors locked! Otherwise: Crew and everybody doomed. :)

Have you recognized some of the SF-film related hints? ;-)
