 What lie does Gwayne plan to tell the crew?
Captain Gwayne cursed and rolled over, reaching for his boots. The two he'd drawn, Kaufman and Pinelli, seemed to be totally devoid of any sense of caution. Earth had ordered him to detour here, after leaving his load of deep-sleep stored colonists on Official World 71, to check on any sign of Hennessy. One, at the front, was stuttering into life, and Gwayne dashed for it as the exit port slid back. Pinelli was either laughing or crying, and Kaufman was trying to break free to kick at the monster. The two were loaded onto a jeep while men helped Barker and Gwayne stow the bound monster on another before heading back. I want to know what happened to Hennessy and why that ship was buried against detection.
 Everyone is already infected.
 There is not enough fuel to get back to Earth.  The ship is broken.  Earth no longer exists.  Everyone is already infected.
