  Speaker 4: When that dust.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Buggy broke down during a terrible storm where their communicator
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: not working, they have an unable to do more than
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: sit and wait for the storm or blow itself out.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Have you figured out what's wrong with the communicator yet, Dantroll,
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Not yet, Billy.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: I can't understand how it could have gone out. This
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: type of equipment is build to take a pounding for
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: years without trouble.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Maybe it needs a turble something.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: At this set, they're too bliss, That's what makes them
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: so sturdy.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: Listen to that wind gonna have to listen to what
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: I can almost feel it through the buggy.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: That plastic shield around us must really be strong.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: How fast do you think it's blowing out there? Well?
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: At least two hundred miles an hour, maybe more.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Have you found the trouble yet?
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Yes? I found it. Can't you fix it now without
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: new parts? And there aren't any extras aboard new parts?
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Is it that bad that?
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Do you remember what I told you just before we
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: left venus Port?
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: You mean about the ship?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: That's right, it looks like this is more of the.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: Same, more the same same.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: What I'm gonna tell them, Pat?
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I guess you better?
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: What's going on?
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Remember the trouble we had with the ship before we
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: left Primary Erect?
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: I remember if it was something.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: With the counter gravity scene and it's the counter gravity stabilizer.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: It was deliberately sabotaged. And the same thing has happened
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: to this communicator and the dust bluggy too. I think it,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: says I told Pat at venus Port, Marston is gone,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: but his collaborators are still at work trying to achieve
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: what he failed to do.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: What good does it do in the strive? As you
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: hottle later? A search part you'll find us to take
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: us back.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: To deep You're absolutely right, Jane, and that's one of
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: the reasons why I decided to tell you and believe
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: the whole story. I'm afraid that the dirty work isn't over.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Do you think someone in the convoy was in on it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: I'll probably never find out for sure who sabotaged our buggy.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: And communicator say, we've been so busy talking. I didn't
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: even notice that the storm is letting up. I hope
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: what I've told you doesn't frighten you.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You should know what's better than that by now.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Besides, we're all stuck together. We can take care of
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: anything that.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: A boy believes. That's the way to talk.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: Venus Sports Secret Channel seven Zeptis, which is no key
• 3:30
  Speaker 7: reporting from Goodwill Tour Convoy Mission complete. Dantro's dust buggy
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: stopped as planned. Convoy did not stop to find them
• 3:38
  Speaker 7: in dust storm. We'll proceed with Operation pick up. Should
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: have the Earth people and Dantro with prisoners shortly. Keep
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: you advised. Signing off.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: Dantro, how about going outside The storm's over. If we
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: can fix the jets.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: On the buggy, that's one thing we mustn't even try
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: believe that dust is like powdered and in this part
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: of the desert it's hundreds of feet thick. Without special shoes,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: you'd think out of tight for a second. That's why
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: the buggies have wide, flat runners like a sledge, so
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: that they can coast along on top of the dust.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: I bet if we had a pair of snow shoes
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: we could walk on it well.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, the Menusians wear special dust
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: walkers that look almost exactly like snow shoes. There aren't
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: any on the buggy. I've already looked.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And what are we going to do? Now?
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: Let's sit here and wait.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: No, I'm going to climb to the top of the
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: buggy and send up a couple of flares before it
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: gets light. May help them find us.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: We want to help.
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: Who's ever trying to get rid of us too?
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Well, we'll just have to take that chance. Here, hold
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: this flare gun, and when I get up on top
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: of the buggy, handed to me, be careful, don't worry,
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I will.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Look out.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Hand me the flare guns. Just reach it up through
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: the doorway.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: There here it is.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I've got it.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: Why doesn't he send up a flare Eve, I'm dying
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: coming back down again. What's the matter Dantro, Why don't
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: you stand up a player.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: That it doesn't The flare gun's been tampered with. Two.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Isn't there anything we can do? Maybe we can light
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: a fly.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: You a good idea if we had something to burn.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: But everything in the buggy is fire proven. There's nothing
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: else but dust for hundreds of miles. No, I'm afraid
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: We'll just have to sit here until it gets light
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: and hope the rescue party finds us.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Then I'll wait for help on the sea of dust
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: is a very long time. Sometimes it never comes. What
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: we'll face our friends now, we'll be back in a moment,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: so level up. When we left, Dantroll passed on the kids,
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Billy and James. They were waiting for help, and they're
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: sabotage dust buggy. They will hope up and it was
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: he and rescue party which shortly picked them up. As
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: we find them now, they are in their dust buggies,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: staring out at the vast weeks of the shifting mountains
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: of dust.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Jane, what are you looking at?
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: I'm sure I streuss something moving after you?
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Where got that way.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: It's almost like somebody's standing. It's gone.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Now, I'm afraid it was your imagination, Jane. Even in
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: this light you can see the miles. There's nothing there now.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: Ah, she's just seeing things.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Well, if she's seeing things, so am I look out there.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: You're right, I can see it too.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: It's like some kind of an animals. Something's coming towards us.
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: There are some more of them here on the other side.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Lord, what is it, Danto? Do you know?
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure. It's hard to see the way they're
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: hunched over, but I think, oh, it can't be.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: It can't be worse.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Remember I was telling you about the Dusters.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Sure you said nobody was sure if they really existed.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: And that, well, I'm afraid they do exist. And what's more,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: they're all around the dust buggy.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Where surround us.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: You seem to be coming in closer. Now do you
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: think they'll attack us?
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: I don't understand this at all. It's a little known
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: about them, but I've never heard of them attacking.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: It looks so strange.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: In some ways they look humanoid him in others almost
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: like some kind of reptile.
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: See, you're right, it's still not close enough to see
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: very clearly. But their skin seems to be scaley, almost
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: like an alligator.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: fIF See they're wearing dust to the light, but looks
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: like it's part of their body.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: I guess that's how they can walk on the dust
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: without thinking. Man, they keep coming closer and closer.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I wonder what they're going to do.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: Well, we should know in.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: A couple of seconds. They're almost up to the buddy's story.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: I had must be from those tremendous feet moving through
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: the dust whinning.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: How they can't bite it?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Do they hardly have any mouse at all?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Just a tiny little holes.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Yes, but their noses make up for me.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: They're bigger than the VENUSI you're touching the ship on
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: this side.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're working one of the figures into.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: The crack of the port. Turn back, Billy, have to
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: get over there.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: There's another one now on the other side.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Get back away from the port, Billy. It looks like
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: they're going to force it open. They flit it already.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: There we come.
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: And I'll read this part. Take the channel. Seven steps
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: are he says, No, key cond boy just arrived Atalantek.
• 8:30
  Speaker 7: We delay them on Dantro's rescue back and I heading
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: out to Dantros tolls, Dust Buggy, keep you advised shining out?
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Why don't you use a rag on Danto?
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: I don't dare. I might get a few of them,
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: but not enough to matter. Besides, we still aren't sure
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: they mean to harm us.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Looks like one of them is trying to climb in
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: through the porch. Gosh, look at that skin and just
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: like an alligators. But they can walk through it, do him,
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: and not even steal it.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: I guess that's what it's for coming in all right.
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: He certainly is an ugly looking specimen right now.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: I'm much more concerned with what he wants, not what
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: he looks like.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: He's just standing there looking at us.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: Why don't you.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Try and talk to him, Dan Trus, I don't think
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: it'll do any good. Buildings, they havn't any years.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Do you think they can communicate with each other?
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Maybe somehow they must, and they couldn't organize an attack
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: as they did this one.
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: They must be pretty smart maybe, but remember the ants
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: back on Earth and a lot of other insects too,
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: and wool they hunt in packs and yet have no
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: means of communication.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Wolf, you don't think he'd just is like wool, do you?
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Of course not saying he co's.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Another one to appo and this one like the other
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: coming toward us.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Just say where you are, don't move, hey, one of
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: them that sold the one A. Don't fight them. Belief
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: you ain't won't do any good. We're badly outnumbered.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: Hey, he's kind of wool. He's gonna tie me up.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: He wouldn't.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: I don't just stand.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid. We have no choice. If we fight back,
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: we may just around them. As it is, we still
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: don't know what they're plannings.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Are no trying me up too?
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: Did You're right about they're not being able to hear
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: or speak. They aren't making the.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Sun comes another one through the course.
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: What's he carrying?
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: He's kind of curse? Hey, what's he doing with it?
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Say Janney, you are right, Ancho.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Dancel'll be afraid, Jane, they're just going to wrap us
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: in this clock.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Don't got no worse the serious at.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: What the way you're doing away?
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: You're high right against the door.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: You'll be careful. You you walking alligators?
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: Heep, calm here, that's just up this. We can talk
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: that way, we can keep track of each other. That's
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: right they are. There's no telling, believe. All we can
• 10:43
  Speaker 8: do is wait and street.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: It seems the dusters are taking Dan Too and the
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Earth people to some rearranged spot. Where is this place?
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: And why are our friends being taken there? We will
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: be back in a moment, but first, here is the
• 11:11
