Possessed Probe

Write a narrative about a space probe infected with a curious alien pathogen which, rather than physical ailments, inflicts emotional and psychological changes on the controllers back on Earth.

This prompt invites exploration of themes such as the nature and influence of emotional and psychological health, the fragility of human control over technology, and the potential impacts of such an ‘infection’ on space research, individual lives, and Earth as a whole.
