  Speaker 1: To the silent voids of space is the Arthur C.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Clarke Astronomical Observatory, Starlab. Here, Earth's International Space Authority, ISA,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: watches over countless uncharted galaxies and the planets that lie
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: within their star-clustered borders. One of those planets is Tinian III,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: site of the top-secret Starsmith Project. Beyond the atmosphere of
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Tinian III, a sudden, unexplainable incident whose momentum will soon
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: carry Starlab Research Director Maura Cassidy, Captains John Grayman, Buddy Griff,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and the Starsmith Project itself into the unknown territory of
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Alien Worlds.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Alien Worlds.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: This is the Xanadu trainer to the El Dorado, over.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Xanadu.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: We read an unidentified ship at 168 degrees, bearing 1,000
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: meters and closing, over.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Roger, Xanadu, I'm picking it up too. Switch to visual,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: let's have a look at her, over. Uh, Roger, we've
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: got another visual. Oh my God, it's Ed Harmon. El Dorado,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: do you recognize the marquee? Silver? Uh, negative, Xanadu. Wait
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: a minute, Bill. I'm picking up a tractor beam generator
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: impulse from the UFO. They've walked onto us, Xanadu.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: They're overriding our shielding circuit.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Bill, I see another tractor beam nozzle. Get out of here.
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: Die.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: Xanadu, we're inside the UFO. They're closing the hatch on us.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: I can see.
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: Starlab Control to Xanadu Trader, we have a condition.
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: Red alert.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Repeat.
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: Red alert.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Coordinates 5-9-5. Do you read?
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: Over.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Starlab Control to Xanadu Trader. Starlab Control to Xanadu Trader.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: There's too much static on this frequency. Switch to sub-channel 4.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Roger, Starlab Control. Sub-channel 4.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Adi, read me now, over.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Four by loud and clear.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Go ahead.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: We've just been attacked by an unidentified alien vessel.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Huge. Twice the size of a Viking-class cruiser.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: What's your location, Xanadu?
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: We're orbiting in a descent vector over Timian 3. Triangulator
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: coordinates are 9 or 5.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Any damage?
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: None negative, but the other freighter is gone. The Eldorado.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: He observed him with us.
• 2:49
  Speaker 9: Destroyed?
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: No, the alien didn't fire a shot.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: They locked onto the Eldorado with a tractor beam and
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: took her aboard through some kind of recovery hatch.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: What was the Eldorado's cargo?
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Same as mine. Classified hardware for the Starsmith.
• 3:08
  Speaker 10: That's right, Commissioner.
• 3:10
  Speaker 11: The alien was after both of them. The captain of
• 3:12
  Speaker 11: the Xanadu Trader said if he hadn't taken evasive action,
• 3:15
  Speaker 11: the tractor beam would have snatched him, too.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know how they found out, but it's
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: obvious the aliens knew exactly what those two.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Trainers were carrying.
• 3:24
  Speaker 11: What makes you think so, Commissioners?
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: Thousands of commercial vessels use the Timian III shipping lanes.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Every day, Maura. All of them filled to the bulkhead
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: with priceless cargo. Yet this alien.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Goes after the only two ships carrying classified scientific equipment.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Of the Starsmith project. So somewhere, somehow, there's been a
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: security leak.
• 3:43
  Speaker 11: Well, what do you want us to do?
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Where are our great men driven?
• 3:48
  Speaker 11: They're out patrolling the Corona Echo intersect in Delta One.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Well, call them back to Starland. I'll be up on
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: the next shuttle.
• 3:55
  Speaker 10: All right, yes, sir.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Jerry. Yes, Mara.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Contact Delta One.
• 4:01
  Speaker 11: I'll be down in a minute.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Okay, Mara. Delta One coming up.
• 4:26
  Speaker 12: Hey, Skipper.
• 4:27
  Speaker 13: Take a look at the echo pattern on G-Monitor. The
• 4:31
  Speaker 13: diameter of the Corona Major star cloud is nearly three
• 4:34
  Speaker 13: parsecs bigger.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Than it was a year ago.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Huh.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what evolution is all about, buddy.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: Constant change. Limitless expansion. I wonder what Copernicus and Galileo
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: would have done if they knew just exactly... Star.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Lab control to Delta One. Star lab control to Delta One.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Uh, Delta One to star lab control.
• 4:53
  Speaker 9: Go ahead, Jerry.
• 4:54
  Speaker 10: Buddy, John, return to Starlab immediately. ISA orders.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Wow, Skipper, talk about evolution. It sounds like Jerry's turned
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: into the sweetheart of Sigma-5.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: I heard that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 10: Very funny, buddy. But the joke will be on you
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: if you're not here when Commissioner White arrives.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, the Commissioner White? Star of stage, screen, and telescan monitor?
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: John, what's wrong with Buddy?
• 5:19
  Speaker 10: Too much nitrous oxide in his oxygen?
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Too much stargazing, Maura.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: It finally got to him.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: A likely story. What's the problem, Maura? Why is the
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: commissioner coming up?
• 5:29
  Speaker 10: ISA thinks there's been a security leak at the Starsmith
• 5:31
  Speaker 10: Project on Timian 3. That's all I know.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: The Starsmith Project.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: All right, Maura. We're on our way.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Delta One out.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: A huge alien spacecraft hijacks a freighter in the shipping
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: lanes over Timian 3. A second freighter barely escapes. the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: cargo of both vessels, classified scientific equipment for the Starsmith Project,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a secret ISA installation on Tinian III, a lonely Earth-like
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: planetoid orbiting at the threshold.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Of alien worlds.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Alien Worlds continues.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: A freighter hijacking over Tinian III by a mysterious alien
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: ship and the suspicion of a security leak at ISA's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: top-secret Starsmith project on Tinian brings Captain John Graydon and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Buddy Griff back to Starlab from a routine surveying mission.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I never heard of the Starsmith project.
• 6:54
  Speaker 12: Mara, what is it? Search me, buddy.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't mind if I do.
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: Oh.
• 6:59
  Speaker 11: John, I think we'd better depressurize Buddy's libido before it's
• 7:02
  Speaker 11: too late.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Ah, saved from a fate worse than death.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Hiya, Commish. Hello, Buddy, John, Maura. Hello, Commissioner.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Have you told him about the freighter hijacking, Maura?
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: Yes, sir.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: All right, here's the rest of it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Three months ago, Professor Logan Starsmith came up with a
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: workable blueprint for a new hyperdrive unit, the SPA-1, the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Starsmith Parsec Accelerator. It won't replace the HD-4 units now
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: in service, but used in conjunction with them, the SPA-1
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: will increase their power by a warp factor of 10.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: A warp factor of 10? Well, that's a five magnitude increase.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: That's right, John.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Now, our defense system depends on having the fastest ships
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: in the galaxy, and to prevent the SPA-1 from falling
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: into the wrong hands, we've kept it under wraps. We
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: even had the various components built at separate locations. Now,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: two weeks ago, we reopened the ISA Plasmatron laboratory on
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Timian III so Starsmith could assemble the unit. He took
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: some of the components with him. The rest were aboard
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the Eldorado and the Xanadu Trader.
• 8:12
  Speaker 11: Well, how many people knew what the freighters were carrying?
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Only Starsmith. The freighters were loaded three days ago. He
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: ordered them of himself. Well, when did you find out?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: He didn't contact ISA until the ships were orbiting Timion.
• 8:27
  Speaker 11: Well, if there's been a security leak, Starsmith would seem
• 8:30
  Speaker 11: to be the obvious suspect.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Well, that's what we thought at first, but there's no motive.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: He's rich, respected, dedicated, completely devoted to his family. There's
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: also one of those typically isolated geniuses whose concept of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: an alien is someone who sneaks into the country without
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: a passport. Well, what do you want us to do?
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Go to Timmy and Three. Bring back Starsmith. We'll keep
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: him here till we can figure out what's going on. Besides,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I think a few days rest will do him good.
• 8:59
  Speaker 10: What makes you say that?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Well, something I learned this morning from his assistant, Frank Baxter.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: He and Starsmith were taking a walk last night when
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Starsmith stopped and stared up into the sky for a
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: long time. And then he said, all my children are dying.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: And then he started to cry.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Professor Starsmith, it's Frank.
• 9:29
  Speaker 12: I can't talk to you now, Frank.
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: It's important, Professor.
• 9:33
  Speaker 14: A message from Starlab.
• 9:35
  Speaker 12: What does it say?
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: What do they want?
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: They're sending a ship for you.
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: For me?
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Professor, what's wrong?
• 9:46
  Speaker 14: Haven't you slept?
• 9:48
  Speaker 9: You look.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Look? How do I look, Frank?
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: Old?
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Tired? Professor, I was.
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: You what, Frank? Care about how I look? Why, when
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: did the young... ever care about the old? Professor, you know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 8: ever since last night... Why are they taking me to Starlab?
• 10:08
  Speaker 14: Well, in view of what happened yesterday, the Commissioner feels
• 10:11
  Speaker 14: you'll be a lot safer there.
• 10:12
  Speaker 12: Well, what about you?
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I'll be all right.
• 10:16
  Speaker 14: ISA is sending a fighter squadron to patrol Timmy in
• 10:19
  Speaker 14: case the alien does come back, but they don't want
• 10:21
  Speaker 14: to take any chances where you're concerned. Besides, someone has
• 10:25
  Speaker 14: to stay here and keep an eye on things.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:29
  Speaker 12: I'll go.
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: I'm going to miss you, Frank.
• 10:40
  Speaker 12: Are you still here? Yes, Logan.
• 10:43
  Speaker 9: I'm still here.
• 10:46
  Speaker 12: Then please finish with me for God's sake. I can't
• 10:51
  Speaker 12: stand the pain.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: An alien voice in the dark. A sudden swirl of
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: shimmering golden rainbows. Then silence. As Professor Logan Starsmith is
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: drawn into the sunless void between Bordelta One, John Graydon
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and Buddy Griff are crossing another void. The space between
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Starlab and Timian Three. A distance normally measured in days,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: about to be compressed into one measured in minutes.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, buddy, let's start the switch over to hyperdrive. Pulse converters?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Pulse converters. Checked. Shift register circuits A through E.
• 11:40
  Speaker 12: A through E.
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: Check.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Sequencer links to sub-status green.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Sub-status green.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Check.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Primary and secondary parsec refractors.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Parsec refractors are in phase.
• 11:52
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: Synchronize timers for a minus 15 interface and hold on
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: to your hat.
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: Timers are set and counting.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Hat is firmly gripped.
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: Check.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: If only Wernher von Braun could see us now. Who knows, buddy.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Someday if we stay in hyperdrive long enough, maybe he will.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: We're through.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: There's Tyrion. You all right, Skipper? Yeah, fine.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: How about you? Okay.
• 12:28
  Speaker 13: Except that now I'm three days late for my date
• 12:30
  Speaker 13: with that cute little Mycroft technician.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Three days late?
• 12:33
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: We were supposed to go out the day after tomorrow.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Roger, Delta One.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Stay aboard.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: We'll rotate the pad.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Professor Starsmith will.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Be right there. Roger, to me in control, tell them
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: to use the starboard ramp. We've already got the hatch open.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Roger, Delta One. Personnel, ramp five. Professor.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: All right, Lieutenant. Thank you.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: You're sure you're all right, Professor? Yes, Frank, I'm sure.
• 13:02
  Speaker 14: I was just going through one of those neurotic episodes
• 13:05
  Speaker 14: we so-called eccentric geniuses are famous for. Well, I'll do
• 13:10
  Speaker 14: my best to hold things together while you're gone. Excuse me, Professor,
• 13:13
  Speaker 14: but you'd better hurry. The magnetic storm we've been tracking
• 13:16
  Speaker 14: is moving in fast. Another 15 minutes and you won't.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Be able to launch. I'll be in touch, Frank.
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Goodbye, Professor. Take care of yourself.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Buddy, go back and sit with her, Professor Jimmy Warpthrough.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I can handle the switchover.
• 13:41
  Speaker 13: You know, I still can't believe that the guy who
• 13:43
  Speaker 13: came up with the most fantastic parsec accelerator of all
• 13:46
  Speaker 13: time has never been through parsec acceleration himself.
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I think men like him.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: Hide out in their private mathematical worlds because they're afraid
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: of what their discoveries might lead to.
• 13:58
  Speaker 15: Look at Einstein.
• 13:59
  Speaker 6: He presented his atomic chain reaction theories to the government
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: and was kept in the dark about the bomb until
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: it was finished.
• 14:07
  Speaker 16: You know, it would be great if the professor had
• 14:10
  Speaker 16: a really nifty daughter. Any reason in particular, aside from
• 14:16
  Speaker 16: the obvious ones?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: We'd never get tired of each other.
• 14:21
  Speaker 13: As long as the professor was there to keep shuffling
• 14:23
  Speaker 13: time around, it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Would always be love at first sight. Buddy, please see
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: about making the professor comfortable.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Right, Skip.
• 14:39
  Speaker 9: How you doing, Professor? A little nervous, but other than.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: That, I'm fine.
• 14:43
  Speaker 13: Well, you'll experience a little blurred vision at light speed,
• 14:46
  Speaker 13: but that'll clear.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Up as soon as we walk through.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: Don't worry about a thing.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I'll be right here beside you all the way. I
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: appreciate that, Captain. Thank you.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: All right, gentlemen. Timers are synchronized for a minus 10 interface.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: See you on the other side.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: Captain Griff, Captain Griff, please, please help me.
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: Oh my God, my God, Professor.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Skipper, Skipper, something's happening to the Professor.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Buddy, what's wrong?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Oh my God, he's shriveling up, he's dehydrating.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: I can see his cheekbones.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Rainbows! Golden rainbows are spilling out of his eyes!
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: As Buddy Griff looks on, hopeless, Professor Logan Starsmith undergoes
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a strange and terrifying metamorphosis. An unexplainable transformation that slowly
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: reveals he is neither terrestrial nor humanoid, but is instead
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: an inhabitant of alien worlds. Alien Worlds Continues Returning to
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Starlab from Tinium-3, Delta-1 has warped through the time-space continuum,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: a routine hyperdrive procedure normally harmless to both terrestrials and extraterrestrials.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: But as Buddy Griff looks on in disbelief and.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: John Graydon frantically radios ahead, their passenger, Professor Logan Starsmith,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: as a result of the warp-through, is undergoing an astonishing transfiguration.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: You heard me the first time, Jerry.
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: The professor is changing into some kind of alien life form.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Notify Maura and the commissioner, and tell Dr.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: Rossiter to get down to sickbay and open up the
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: alienology unit.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: And get us aboard now. Whoever this creature is, he's dying.
• 17:18
  Speaker 15: Starlab control to all incoming traffic.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Hold your positions. We have an emergency.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Rossiter, report to sickbay. Prepare the alienology unit.
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: Starlab to Delta-1, red vector approach 5-8-9-er, bay 14, level C.
• 17:32
  Speaker 12: I'm opening the doors now.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: As Delta-1 orbits into an emergency docking vector with Starlab,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: another drama unfolds on the distant planet of Nikona, an
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: alien world on the verge of extinction beneath a dying sun.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Emperor Mika sits alone in the Imperial Tower of the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Niconian Citadel, awaiting the return of the ship he sent
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: on a desperate mission to another galaxy.
• 18:00
  Speaker 17: Mika?
• 18:00
  Speaker 15: What is it, Ariana?
• 18:01
  Speaker 17: Our recovery ship has returned from Timian III.
• 18:05
  Speaker 15: Have the accelerator components been unloaded?
• 18:08
  Speaker 17: Mika, our ship was able to take only one of
• 18:10
  Speaker 17: the Earth transports. The other one flew out of tractor
• 18:13
  Speaker 17: beam range before we had.
• 18:15
  Speaker 18: I don't care to listen to any excuses today, Ariana.
• 18:18
  Speaker 18: I ordered both ships to be taken.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: They weren't.
• 18:22
  Speaker 18: I don't know how much longer I can tolerate having
• 18:25
  Speaker 18: my orders disobeyed.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Mika, please.
• 18:28
  Speaker 17: The life element supply aboard our ship was subcritical. If
• 18:32
  Speaker 17: they had pursued the other transport, they might not have
• 18:35
  Speaker 17: come back at all. I feel they did their best
• 18:38
  Speaker 17: under the circumstances.
• 18:39
  Speaker 18: I think we have reached a point where what you
• 18:41
  Speaker 18: feel is no longer important, Ariana. First, you convinced me
• 18:45
  Speaker 18: to support Matip's plan, which has obviously failed. Now, you
• 18:50
  Speaker 18: stand there and suggest that failure to carry out a
• 18:53
  Speaker 18: direct imperial edict is acceptable under the circumstances.
• 18:57
  Speaker 10: Mika!
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Nekona is dying.
• 19:01
  Speaker 15: That is our only reality.
• 19:03
  Speaker 18: And survival by any means possible is our only concern.
• 19:08
  Speaker 18: Disobedience and failure, regardless of the circumstances, are inexcusable and
• 19:14
  Speaker 18: they have no place in an unforgiving and uncompromising universe.
• 19:22
  Speaker 17: There was a time when you understood failure.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Was there? I doubt it.
• 19:31
  Speaker 15: What's being done with the crew of the capture transport?
• 19:34
  Speaker 17: They're being held in the Legionnaire's quarters.
• 19:35
  Speaker 15: Have them taken to the cells.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: No, Mika, I won't.
• 19:39
  Speaker 17: There's no reason to make them suffer your disappointment.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I see.
• 19:44
  Speaker 10: Andros.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Yes, Mika?
• 19:47
  Speaker 15: Take the crew of the Earthship to the suffocation.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Chambers.
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: Yes, Mika.
• 19:52
  Speaker 12: Stop it, Mika.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Stop it. I'll have them.
• 19:56
  Speaker 17: Taken to the cells.
• 19:59
  Speaker 15: Ignore my order, Andros.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, Mika.
• 20:04
  Speaker 18: Do you see how useless it is to oppose me, Ariana?
• 20:10
  Speaker 18: I know you think I have become a sadistic tyrant,
• 20:15
  Speaker 18: but I am the Emperor of Nekona, and our situation
• 20:20
  Speaker 18: is desperate. Unlike you, I have no affection for earthlings.
• 20:27
  Speaker 15: And if I have to execute.
• 20:29
  Speaker 18: Ten or twenty or even a thousand to maintain your
• 20:34
  Speaker 18: obedience to me, I shall do it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 15: I am sorry, Ariana. I never thought it would come
• 20:44
  Speaker 15: to this.
• 20:46
  Speaker 17: It came to this two solar years ago, Mika. When
• 20:50
  Speaker 17: you order the construction of the.
• 20:51
  Speaker 8: First suffocation chamber.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, on Starlab, Delta One has docked, and the mysterious
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: being Professor Starsmith has become lies near death in Starlab's
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: alienology unit.
• 21:06
  Speaker 12: 1723 UIT.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Mark, right and left lobes are 100%... What.
• 21:12
  Speaker 11: Are his chances, Diana?
• 21:14
  Speaker 19: We won't know until my crop finishes analyzing the pathological data.
• 21:18
  Speaker 19: But if his body fluids keep misting out of him
• 21:21
  Speaker 19: like this, he won't last another hour.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Sandy?
• 21:25
  Speaker 17: Yes, Doctor?
• 21:25
  Speaker 19: How are you coming with the anti-dehydration chamber?
• 21:28
  Speaker 12: Just a few more minutes.
• 21:30
  Speaker 19: Captain Griff, you said his eyes were hemorrhaging golden rainbows.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: How long do they do that?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: It all happened so fast. Fifteen, twenty seconds, maybe.
• 21:41
  Speaker 19: Were his eyes transparent before the hemorrhage or after?
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: Before.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: His eyes changed and then the rainbows just spilled out.
• 21:50
  Speaker 11: What is it, Diana? You have that look on your face.
• 21:55
  Speaker 19: The eye phenomenon.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I've read about it before.
• 22:00
  Speaker 19: Captain Graydon, did you witness any part of the reversal process?
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: No, no, I didn't.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: By the time I got to the passenger deck, Professor
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: Starsmith was gone, and this alien was there, strapped in
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: next to Buddy.
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: Diana, why does he still have one human hand?
• 22:17
  Speaker 19: His bioenergy discharged too fast during the reversal to neutralize
• 22:22
  Speaker 19: all the exterior synthetic tissue. It'll disappear if we can
• 22:26
  Speaker 19: get him stabilized.
• 22:28
  Speaker 9: If?
• 22:29
  Speaker 11: Diana, we've got to. He's the only one who knows
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: where Professor Starsmith is and what this whole incident is
• 22:36
  Speaker 11: all about.
• 22:37
  Speaker 17: The chamber's ready, Doctor.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Sandy.
• 22:40
  Speaker 19: Oh, Sandy, see what you can find in the alien
• 22:43
  Speaker 19: medicine bank on ophthalmic hemorrhage reaction.
• 22:46
  Speaker 11: I'll call you from the display terminal.
• 22:49
  Speaker 19: Let's get him into the chamber. Maura, if you'll just
• 22:55
  Speaker 19: open the main chamber.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Lying children.
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: Siata. Ut omitas. Mativsa.
• 23:09
  Speaker 12: I'll miss you, Frank.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Linguistics, it's Dr.
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: Cassidy. I want two Omnibox technicians and a portable phonetics
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: decoder in the alienology unit immediately.
• 23:21
  Speaker 20: Riata... Forma Anissa. Thank you, Captain Griff.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Buddy, he's talking to you. Why me?
• 23:37
  Speaker 19: You were the last life form he saw before the transformation.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to say to him.
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: Dr.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Rossiter, Sandy.
• 23:44
  Speaker 10: The alien is an inhabitant of the Nikonian Empire.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Nikona, of course.
• 23:52
  Speaker 19: Sandy, is the pathological data ready?
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: It just came off.
• 23:55
  Speaker 10: I'm on my way down with it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 9: My team, sir. My team, sir.
• 24:03
  Speaker 12: I'll miss you, Captain Griff. Diana!
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: Diana, he's not breathing!
• 24:15
  Speaker 12: Do something!
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Mara.
• 24:21
  Speaker 19: He's gone.
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: I'm going to miss you, Frank.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Delta One hyperdrives through the time-space continuum as Professor Logan
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: Starsmith is mysteriously transformed into a being from another galaxy.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: A creature so badly injured by the warp-through ordeal that Dr.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Diana Rossiter, Starlab's executive physician, is unable to save him.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: And somewhere in the vast reaches of space beyond Starlab,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the real Professor Starsmith waits, lost behind one of those
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: countless secret doors that open onto alien worlds.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: The Starsmith Project was based on a story by Ellen
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Pellicero and written by Ellen Pellicero, Ron Thompson, and Lee Hanson.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Associate producer, Jeff Allen. Music director, Tom Rounds. Engineer, Stu Jacobs.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Assistant to the producer, Laurie Tyler. Technical consultant, Peter Skye.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Alien Worlds was created, produced, and directed by Lee Hanson
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and is distributed by Watermark Incorporated. And so, until next time,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: this is Roger Dressler inviting you to join us for
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: the conclusion of the Starsmith Project on Alien Worlds.
