Night Riders Of Kalimar - Part 1 · Alien Worlds

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Within the far reaches of deep space, there remain unknown planets,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: journeys into galaxies yet uncharted. Stellar exploration is the newfound adventure.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: On the asteroid Vesta, halfway between the orbits of Mars
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and Jupiter, is the small spaceport of Kronos, supply center
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to space miners. Here, in this isolated watering hole, exist prospectors, gamblers, pirates,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and cutthroats of every persuasion. Our story is about these
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: daring and ruthless men who risk their lives in search
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of precious stones and metals in the icy tomb of
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: deep space and journey upon the threshold of alien worlds.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Spaceport Kronos. The Rising Star Saloon. Saturday night. Raise 300.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I'm out.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Me too. Well, that leaves just you and me, dude.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Like I said before, my name is Silverthorne. Travis Silverthorne. Sorry, dude,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not much good with names. You might want to
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: remember mine.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: I see your 300 and raise you 3,000. What? You
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: heard me. I only have 2,000. Too bad, dude. Wait
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: a minute, wait a minute. I have a ship. I
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: have a 98 Dart. What do you say? For 1,000?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Where is it? Down the lot, number four. That clunker? Hey, look,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: it leaves a little paint. That's all. It's got an
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: FTL overdrive. Faster than light? That's right. The FTL unit
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: alone is worth a thousand.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: You calling? You know it. Three queens. Damn. Well, gentlemen, thanks.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: Not bad for the first part of the night. Um,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: whose deal is it? What the hell was that?
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: That old scrounge over there.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: He just came running into this place and shot off
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: his blaster.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Shh.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: He's trying to say something. Glowstone. Glowstone? Did he say Glowstone? Well,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: there goes the game. Glowstone. Glowstone's been discovered on Calamar.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Glowstone?
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, high above Earth, Starlab, the spinning observatory wheel, drifts silently.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Aboard Starlab, research director Maura Cassidy and her assistant Tim
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: ready the giant telescopes for a close-hand look at the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: new frontier.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Dr.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Cassidy, you're early.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I know, Tim.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: But I'm anxious to get a look at the planet.
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: Besides, Commissioner White has ordered a 24-hour surveillance of Calamar.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Mycroft is moving the 900-inch scope into position now.
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: The 900? What's wrong with the big one?
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: It's working. On spectral analysis.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Two more hours.
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: We can't wait.
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: Delta One will be here any minute, and I want
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: Calamar on the viewer when Graydon and Griff arrive.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Why are they coming here to Starlab first? Calamar's in
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: the opposite direction.
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: I don't know, Tim. They didn't tell me.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: I can't believe it was just yesterday that news of
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: the Glowstone strike got out. It seems like everybody's going
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: to Calamar.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: Well, I wouldn't mind going there myself.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: What for, Dr.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Cassidy?
• 4:01
  Speaker 7: Well, for one thing, I've never even seen a grain
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: of glowstone, much less the rocks rumored to exist on Calamar.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: Will you settle for a good look right now? The
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: scope's ready.
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: Well, then turn on the viewer, Tim. Let's see this
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: new frontier.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Right, Dr.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: Cassidy. Viewer on.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Is that what all the fuss is about?
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Captain Griff.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Well, that's it, all right. That's Calamar. That hardly looks
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: worth the effort.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: Well, what about you, John? What do you think?
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: It looks hot.
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: Just 200 degrees at noon is all.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Oh, and I forgot to pack my cocoa butter. Can
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: you tell us anything else, Maura?
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: Not much. A double sun accounts for the hot days. Nights,
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: on the other hand, are cool and very dark. There
• 4:45
  Speaker 7: is no moon. Most plant and animal life will probably
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: be nocturnal. It's really a fascinating world. If only we
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: knew more about it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll give you a complete report when we get back.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: How long are you going to be gone?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Oh, a week or so. Until the ISA can set
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: up a permanent command post there.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: I don't understand why you two went out of your
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: way to come here before going on to Kalamar.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Um, well, an ISA directive, Mara. Commissioner White's orders.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: But why?
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Tell her, buddy. Oh, thanks, pal. Well, you see, Maura,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the chief told us to leave Delta One here at Starlab.
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: Then how will you get back to Calamar?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Uh, in Starlab's cruiser. Columbus! The heck you will.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: You're not touching my ship.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Now, come on, Maura. Be reasonable. We need the shuttle
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: from Columbus. I don't care.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: Forget it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Excuse me, Dr. Cassidy.
• 5:41
  Speaker 6: Yes, Tim. What is it?
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: You said you wanted to go to Calamar. Here's the
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: perfect opportunity.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Yes. Hmm.
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: So it is. Thanks, Tim. Okay, John. You can take
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: my ship on one condition.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Uh-oh, Skipper.
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: Take me with you.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Oh, now, just a minute more.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: I have some field time coming anyway, and all my
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: equipment is already aboard Columbus, so it's settled. I'll go
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: get ready.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Hey, Skipper. We sure handled that well. Yeah, well, maybe
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: it's a good thing she's coming along, buddy. We can
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: use the help.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: As Graydon and Griff prepare to disembark Starlab for Calamar,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: early prospector arrivals begin on the small planet. Mark Robbins
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and Lee Johnson are among the first.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Good thing we left the landing lights on. It's really
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: dark out here. Yeah, but we have to work at night.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: It's too hot during the daylight, you know that. Besides,
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: we've already lost time, so we'd better get busy. You
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: sure these hills are the best place to look for glowstones?
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I think they're a good place to start, Lee. You
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: unpack the scanner, and I'll set up the auxiliary lights.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Wait a minute.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Shh. Shh.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: What's wrong?
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: I thought I heard something. I don't hear anything.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: There, listen.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I do hear it now.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Sounds like a herd of animals or something.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Don't worry about it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: Oh, there's something eerie about that sound. I said don't
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: worry about it. Come on, let's get to work.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: From the blackness of Calamar's night comes an omen. What
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: lies ahead on this tiny distant planet remains an unknown,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: shrouded in mystery on Alien Worlds. Alien Worlds continues.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: A wave of unruly space prospectors.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: A chaotic infiltration of the planet Kalamar. Anticipating the outbreak
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of lawlessness, the International Space Authority intervenes. Acting on ISA orders,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: a space exploration team is sent to Calamar to begin
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: preparations for the arrival of an ISA security fleet and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the establishment of a permanent command post. Starlab's interstellar cruiser
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Columbus is en route. SET commanders John Graydon and Buddy Griff,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: along with Starlab research director Maura Cassidy, are on board.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Skipper, we're getting a distress signal heading 049er. Open Channel 8, buddy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: ISA cruiser Columbus calling vessel at 049er. We read your flag.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Open communications on Channel 8. Over.
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: What's going on?
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Some idiot probably ran out of photons. Oh, thank God
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: you guys showed up.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I'll bet 50 ships passed me by without even slowing down.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, pal, but we'll be doing the same. Hey, Skipper,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I think I know that guy. Do you mind? Okay, buddy,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: go ahead, but I'm not stopping. Hello, Travis. Travis Silverthorne,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: is that you? Yeah, who are you? It's me, buddy. Buddy,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: you fool.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Stop that ship right now and pick me up.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Hey, Skipper, what do you say? I already said, buddy.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: But Travis is like a brother. I don't care, buddy.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: We don't have the time. Skipper, he saved my life
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: when we were kids. Oh, fuck. Damn it, buddy. Thanks, Skipper. Hello, Travis.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Hold on. We're coming alongside.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: As Captain Griff aids a distressed friend, Dr. Cassidy receives
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: an emergency call from Starlab.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: That's right Dr.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: Cassidy spectral analysis indicates a little flare.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Up in Calamar's double sun how intense Tim strong enough
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: to knock.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: Out any and all radio communication within 19 parsecs of Calamar.
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: Okay thanks for the report Tim I'll be in touch
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: great huh you heard Yeah.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Without any radio communication on Calamar, things could get sticky.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Any idea how long the solar flare-ups might last?
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: I'd just be guessing.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: John, Maura, I'd like you to meet my old friend
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Travis Silberthorne. Travis, appreciate the ride, Captain. It's all right, Travis.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: What happened to your ship, Travis? Oh, it was a
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: piece of junk I won in the card game on Cronus.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Not worth going back for. Say, you wouldn't be headed
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: for Kalamar by any chance, would you?
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: We sure are.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Fantastic.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Back on Calamar's night side, prospectors Mark Robbins and Lee
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Johnson continue their search for Glowstone. Out of the black depths,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: a mysterious sound draws closer.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I think they're getting closer, Mark.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: You stop worrying about that noise. It's probably a natural phenomenon. Well,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: natural or not, I got a bad feeling about it.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Hey, what do you say we break camp and set
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: up at another location? Oh, Lee, come on. You got
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: prospector jitters. Listen, the sound, it stopped. You see there?
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Nothing to worry about. Like I said, it's a natural phenomenon.
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Natural phenomenon. Yeah, sure.
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: Well, that's it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: We've entered the area affected by Calamar's sun. We no
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: longer have any radio communication with anyone.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: We'll need to keep a monitor on the radio at
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: all times. Hey, Skip, me and Travis are throwing a
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: party to celebrate our reunion. You want to join us? Oh,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: no thanks, buddy. But go ahead. Just don't overdo it, huh? Right, Skip.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: How about you, Maura? Would you like to have a
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: drink with us? Well... Oh, go ahead, Maura. We have
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: time before we get to Calamar.
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: Okay, why not?
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll be in the galley, Skipper.
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Well, tell me, Mr.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Silverthorne, what is.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Please, Maura, call me Travis.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: Okay, Travis. What draws you to Calamar? Plan on doing
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: any prospecting?
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Well, in a matter of speaking, I guess you could...
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: If I know Travis, he'll be mining the miners.
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: And that means?
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I will be playing cards.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Ah. Okay, here we are. Martian fizzes okay?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Sure, fine.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Okay by me.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: You know, I've never seen glowstone.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: No kidding?
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I just happen to have a piece with me.
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: Really? Oh, I'd love to see it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: It's just a speck, but it's enough to see the value.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: To get the full effect of glowstone, you have to
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: see it in the dark. Oh, buddy, will you please
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: turn off the lights? Sure. Oh, it's beautiful.
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: I've never seen such rich colors before. So bright, pure,
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: and warm.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Think she likes it, buddy?
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: It's hard to tell. A glowstone is supposedly an aphrodisiac, too,
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: No, I didn't, but I'm not surprised.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, wow. You two want to be left alone? Buddy.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Of course, that's not the reason it's so valuable.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: That's right.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: That much I do know. Glowstone is a perfect energy source. Small, clean, safe.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: doesn't get hot, and yet the energy it releases can
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: be put to thousands of uses.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: And on top of all of that, it's one of
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: the rarest minerals in the universe. This little speck of
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: mine is worth close to a hundred thousand. I've met
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: men who are willing to kill for a piece half
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: this size, and almost as many who are willing to
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: die for it.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: The value of glowstone cannot be denied, but neither can
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the dangers of mining it. as two young prospectors draw
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: closer to a confrontation with the unknown on Calamar.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: It's been a half hour, Lee, and no more howls.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: If anything was there, it's gone now.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: No, I don't think so, Mark. They're out there, all
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: around us.
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Maybe we should just get back to work. Are you kidding?
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: That's just what they're waiting for. Well, we can't sit
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: here all night. Besides, I've scanned the whole place. There
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: is nothing here to fear.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: But Mark... But nothing.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Give me that blaster and wait here.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Where are you going? I'm going to prove my point.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: I'll fire the blaster a couple of times over by
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: that rock. If nothing happens, then maybe we can get back.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: To work, okay? And if something does happen?
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Well, then you're going to have a front row seat.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: But nothing will happen.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Now watch.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Hey, what happened to the lights?
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Mark? Mark!
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: What in the name of God is that?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Mark, where are you?
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Please?
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: Please, help me!
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: From the deep darkness of a mining camp on Kalamar,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: a scream of terror and silence of death. What strange
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: creatures stalk the blackness and lure these helpless miners into horror?
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: An excursion into the arcade on Alien Worlds. Alien Worlds continues.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Mysterious hostile creatures attack a prospector camp on Calamar. A
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: search for glowstone ends in terror. Lawless disorder sweeps the
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: planet as prospectors and pirates arrive in search of the
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: precious stone. A space exploration team enters Calamar's orbit, sent
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: by the International Space Authority to subdue the madness.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I can't get over how hot it looks down there, Maura.
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: At least the nights are pleasant, John. I'm sure most
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: of the miners do their work at night.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: What about solar screens during the day?
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: Even under a solar screen, it would still be 120
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: degrees or so.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: A little hot to be doing hard labor.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll say. You know I never liked the desert,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: even on Earth. I think I'll stay up here and
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: let the rest of you take the first EVA.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: So now all I have to do is find Buddy
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: and Travis.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I think they went up to the launch deck. Just
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: a minute. I'll go with you. Okay.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: You know, Travis, seeing you again reminds me of the
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: first time we left Earth together, remember?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Oh, how could I forget?
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I can't believe we ever got past the moon and
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: that old government surplus.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: A wombat, wasn't it? It was a wombat, all right.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: That old fossil fueler. I'll bet they're still talking about
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: our last night on Mars. Well, I know I am.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: Excuse us, you two.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: If you're looking for a shuttle crew, we're ready.
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: Because we're going down.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, right. But wait, Skipper. Someone has to stay. Yeah,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I'll stay, buddy. The three of you can go.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Well, come on. Buddy?
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Listen, whatever you do, don't land. Why not? With the
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: radios out, I just don't want to take any chances,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: that's all. Just look around and then report back here
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: after your EVA.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Okay, Skipper.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: You sure know how to take the fun out of
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: an EVA.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: As the EVA crew prepares to descend from the cruiser Columbus,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: other preparations are underway on Earth. An ISA security fleet,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: commanded by Captain Richard Baker, prepares to depart for Calamar
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and set up a permanent command post.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Captain Baker. Yes, Lieutenant. What is it? I have that
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: recording of the last transmission from Calamar, sir. Just before
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: the signal faded completely. Good, Lieutenant. Let's hear it.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Mayday. Mayday.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Coordinates 1906.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Under attack. Coming out of nowhere. Weapons out of effect.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: It's the light. It's the light. It's the light. That's
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: where it ends, sir. Was he saying light? Apparently. But
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: we can't figure out why. The coordinates are from Calamar's
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: dark side.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: An EVA shuttle streaks across Calamar's ebony skies into the
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: planet's night side. Aboard, Captain Buddy Griff, Travis Silverthorne, and
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Maura Cassidy observing the planet's.
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: Surface through an infrared scanner. Altitude leveling off at 10,000.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Speed 900 and dropping.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: I can't understand it, buddy. There's no lights down there.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: There's no sign of mining camps or laser drills. There's
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: nothing but darkness.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I have to. admit it Travis it does seem strange.
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: Will you two relax we're flying over a huge plains
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: area any mining operations are bound to be in the
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: hills right oh yeah.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: That's right well can you see anything at all down there.
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: Maura scattered plant life and what appears to be a
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: giant herd of animals.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I'm taking us down closer this is strange what's.
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: Strange I can see several mining camps.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: So?
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Well, they appear to have been totally destroyed, like they
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: were hit by a tornado.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I knew something was wrong. Is there any sign of survivors?
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: No. Wait!
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Wait, slow down.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, give me a chance. What do you see, Morrow?
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: What do you see?
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: A group of men. Some of them look injured. They're
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: standing together near some caves. They're trying to get our attention.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: So why don't they turn on a light if they
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: want us to see them? Only one way to answer
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: that question, buddy. I think you're right, pal. We've got
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: to land this bird.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: But, buddy, John just said that we could.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: You said some of those men were hurt, Mara. We've
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: got to help them. That's why we're here.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: I suppose you're right.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I know I am. Hit the landing lights, will you, Travis?
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: There.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: Now that's more like it. Now we can see, too. Yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: There are the men that Mara was... Hey, wait a minute.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute. They're running away. They're running away like
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: scared rabbits.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: They're heading straight for the caves.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: They panicked as soon as you turned on the lights.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Touchdown. Let's get out there and find out what's going on.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Turn off your lights.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: The creatures are coming.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Who are you? What are you talking about?
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: You're in great danger.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: The nightriders, they've seen your lights. They're attracted by light.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: There are hundreds of them. They will be here any minute.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Quick, turn off the lights, Travis. Right.
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: The only way to save your ship is to leave now.
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: Buddy, listen.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: It's them. They're coming, I tell you.
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: I'll take a look through the infrared binoculars.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, boy.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: They can't be stopped. They'll tear your ship to pieces
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: and us too if we don't get out of here.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: What is that?
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: It's the Knight Riders.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Knight Riders? Mora, can you see anything through the binoculars?
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Can I ever? They're coming this way, all right.
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: There must be several hundred of them.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Several hundred what? Strange creatures.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: Reptilian, I think. But huge. They're riding on the backs
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: of those animals I saw earlier. My God, I don't
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: believe it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: What is it? What is it?
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: They don't have any eyes.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: But how can they... Please.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: There isn't much time. You must leave.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: He's right.
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: They've already reached the foothills.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's go.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Everyone in the shuttle.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: You too, mister.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: Thank you.

  Speaker 3: Thank you. All systems on, buddy. All right. Preliminary ignition. Set.

  Speaker 5: I'm getting out of here.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Abandon ship.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: Head for the caves. Right, buddy. Okay, be careful, Laura.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: Watch your step. Come on, buddy. Hurry. Okay, okay. My God.
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: Look at them.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're Indians, Laura. I don't believe this. Look. Look,

  Speaker 3: they're tearing the shuttle apart. What are we going.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: To do, buddy?
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: How are we going to contact John now? Let's worry
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: about that later.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Quick, let's get out of here.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Buddy, Mora, and Travis find themselves trapped, overrun by strange.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Sightless, alien creatures.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Unable to contact John Graydon high above them, aboard Columbus,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: they appear to be hopelessly stranded in darkness. Their shuttle
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: has been torn to pieces by the night riders of Kalamar. Indeed,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: a phantasm of consternation on.
• 24:27
