   Salerno will inform you she is close to locating an alien structure on the moon, and escapes the lab.,, After you exit the building, your moon rover will chase Salerno’s rover to another building on the moon., The eye scanner will verify that your eyes are purple, and grant your character access to the Rock Laboratory.,,,, The goal is to move the conveyor belts until your character reaches the top right corner of the lab., The sheet will fall away to reveal a Geiger Counter.,, The meter on the Geiger Counter will turn red as you approach the alien object.,,, Your rover will pull the purple object out of the ground, and the object will grow into a tall monolith and emit a strong beam of light., There will be a red beam of light connecting with the purple light.,, When you reach the mound where the beams intersect, Salerno will show up, and both of your characters will fall into the ground., There will be a handprint indention on the machine., A portal will open, and Salerno will disappear through the portal.
   
   The flight director will contact you to inform you the Mission Control team is bringing you home.
   
   After you arrive home, Salerno will contact Mission Control to say she has discovered extraterrestrial life, and that her mission is complete.
