- 1:02Speaker 3: The car is beautiful. Where did you end up going
- 1:04Speaker 3: for it?
- 1:05Speaker 6: This exclusive place that Dad has connections with. They have
- 1:08Speaker 6: more cars for more dealerships than, like, anywhere else.
- 1:10Speaker 3: You have to put me in touch. What's it called?
- 1:13Speaker 7: It's Dune-A-D-L.
- 1:15Speaker 8: Where? Dune-A-D-L.
- 1:18Speaker 7: There's an accent on the E.
- 1:21Speaker 8: Do you mean.
- 1:21Speaker 7: Yes, I got it on Done Deal Cars.
- 1:23Speaker 5: Lift?
- 1:23Speaker 9: Please.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Are you going past Kimmage?
- 1:26Speaker 5: Oh, Kimmage!
- 1:27Speaker 9: No.
- 1:28Speaker 7: Done Deal Cars. You couldn't possibly go anywhere else.
- 1:41Speaker 9: Within the far reaches of deep space, there remain unknown planets,
- 1:48Speaker 9: journeys into galaxies yet uncharted. Stellar exploration is the newfound adventure.
- 1:56Speaker 9: High above Earth's windy skies, a thousand miles in space,
- 2:02Speaker 9: a large wheeling disc lazily drifts in orbit.
- 2:08Speaker 5: A space station whose.
- 2:09Speaker 9: Official designation is the Arthur C. Clarke Astronomical Observatory. To
- 2:16Speaker 9: those living and working aboard, it is simply called Starlab.
- 2:22Speaker 9: Their lives and adventures become our story on the threshold
- 2:27Speaker 9: of alien worlds.
- 2:46Speaker 10: Coordinates bearing H-179-er. Roger. This is Mission Control. You are
- 2:52Speaker 10: cleared for EVA.
- 2:55Speaker 5: Stand by, Mission Control. We have a red code report
- 2:58Speaker 5: from Level C radio telescope.
- 3:00Speaker 11: Roger, Starlab Control.
- 3:01Speaker 5: Go ahead.
- 3:02Speaker 12: Starlab Control, this is the Spectral Analysis Officer, Level C.
- 3:07Speaker 12: A radio telescope interferometry has detected unusual sunspot activity at
- 3:11Speaker 12: a bearing of 409-er.
- 3:13Speaker 11: Thanks, Bill.
- 3:14Speaker 5: Keep us posted.
- 3:15Speaker 13: What's going on, Jerry? I'm not sure, Tim, but we're
- 3:18Speaker 13: going to find out.
- 3:19Speaker 12: Starlab Control, this is Telescope 4, Level D. We're tracking
- 3:23Speaker 12: with Level C.
- 3:24Speaker 5: Yeah, Ken.
- 3:25Speaker 10: Solar graphs show high-density activity.
- 3:28Speaker 5: All right, Level D. Print through the data on the
- 3:30Speaker 5: ICM recorder, please.
- 3:31Speaker 14: Right, Control.
- 3:33Speaker 10: It's online.
- 3:34Speaker 5: Look at this.
- 3:36Speaker 6: What?
- 3:47Speaker 15: That's more solar activity in the last two minutes than
- 3:49Speaker 15: we've seen in two years.
- 3:52Speaker 13: I'd better call Dr.
- 3:53Speaker 5: Cassidy.
- 3:57Speaker 9: Meanwhile, on Earth, the effect of the sun's strange activity begins.
- 4:05Speaker 9: Kansas City, Missouri, 8.05 p.m. Good evening, Mr.
- 4:08Speaker 5: Jennings.
- 4:16Speaker 13: Yes, all right.
- 4:17Speaker 5: I think that's a good idea. Great. The usual, Ron.
- 4:20Speaker 5: All right.
- 4:22Speaker 15: Well, I'm certain you'll love the food here, Sylvia. It's
- 4:25Speaker 15: a very special place. It's been a favorite spot of
- 4:29Speaker 15: mine for years. I've known the owner a long time, too.
- 4:35Speaker 8: What's that?
- 4:36Speaker 13: Huh, that's strange.
- 4:38Speaker 5: Probably just a heavy truck going by on the street outside.
- 4:41Speaker 5: My God, Roger!
- 4:44Speaker 14: It's an earthquake!
- 4:57Speaker 9: Earthquakes, tidal waves, and temperature shifts around the globe slowly intensify.
- 5:05Speaker 5: A solar mystery unfolds.
- 5:08Speaker 9: And back on Starlab, the disorder becomes even more apparent.
- 5:12Speaker 5: 2130 hours. Starlab Control, this.
- 5:14Speaker 10: Is Scope 4, Level D. We've just tracked a third
- 5:20Speaker 10: major flare-out on the sun's Earth side.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Level D, begin all radio telescope recorders. Feed us an
- 5:26Speaker 5: audio scan. Plug in the Mycroft computers.
- 5:29Speaker 14: Roger.
- 5:31Speaker 10: Mycroft on.
- 5:32Speaker 12: Log on scanners.
- 5:41Speaker 13: Hi, Dr. Cassidy. Thanks for coming up here. I knew
- 5:45Speaker 13: you'd want to know.
- 5:46Speaker 8: All right, Tim. Now, what's going on?
- 5:47Speaker 5: The three of our main telescopes are tracking the sun.
- 5:50Speaker 8: Yes, and?
- 5:51Speaker 16: Analysis indicates an incredible amount of solar flaring and abnormal
- 5:55Speaker 16: sunspot activity. Earth stations are reporting earthquakes, tidal waves, and
- 5:58Speaker 16: various other abnormalities. We've begun tracking confirmation through our Mycroft
- 6:03Speaker 16: Computer Center.
- 6:04Speaker 17: Okay, Tim.
- 6:04Speaker 13: This is spectral.
- 6:06Speaker 12: Analysis level C. We have a priority report.
- 6:09Speaker 5: This is control level C. Go ahead.
- 6:11Speaker 12: Jerry, I can't believe what we're seeing up here.
- 6:14Speaker 5: What is it?
- 6:14Speaker 12: It looks like we may be headed for a singularity condition.
- 6:17Speaker 18: On the sun.
- 6:18Speaker 13: Singularity? You mean the sun's going out?
- 6:22Speaker 5: Bill, are you sure? Listen, we'll send Tim up there
- 6:25Speaker 5: right now. We'll need all your current graphs and radiation
- 6:28Speaker 5: scan reports.
- 6:29Speaker 14: Okay, Jerry.
- 6:29Speaker 8: And Bill, you'd better set up radar solar tracking operations, too.
- 6:33Speaker 10: Right, Dr. Cassidy.
- 6:34Speaker 8: Tim, you'd better get up there now. Get all the
- 6:36Speaker 8: graphs and Mycroft readings.
- 6:37Speaker 13: Okay, Dr. Cassidy.
- 6:43Speaker 17: I'm not looking forward to telling the ISA the sun
- 6:46Speaker 17: is going dead.
- 6:48Speaker 9: Knowledge concerning energy had become an important property to man.
- 6:54Speaker 9: But the idea of the sun going out prematurely represents
- 6:59Speaker 9: a new and very unusual situation for Dr. Cassidy and
- 7:03Speaker 9: Starlab's research people. The beginning of a dark nightmare in
- 7:09Speaker 9: the light of alien worlds. Alien Worlds continues. To those
- 7:28Speaker 9: aboard Starlab, a shiny rotating observatory high above Earth, the
- 7:34Speaker 9: sun seemed to be going dead. Radio telescopes reveal a
- 7:39Speaker 9: once fiery sun darkening. Research Director Mara Cassidy contacts the
- 7:45Speaker 9: International Space Authority.
- 7:47Speaker 10: This is the ISA, Dr. Cassidy. Are you there?
- 7:52Speaker 8: Yes, Commissioner.
- 7:54Speaker 10: We've had a 20 degree temperature shift in the last
- 7:56Speaker 10: hour in the Sahara, Mara. Satellite charts show glacier movement
- 8:00Speaker 10: at the poles.
- 8:01Speaker 12: It looks like an eclipse.
- 8:03Speaker 10: What the hell's going on up there?
- 8:05Speaker 17: We don't know exactly what's happening yet, but our Mycroft
- 8:08Speaker 17: computer terminal shows readings that indicate the sun is losing
- 8:11Speaker 17: electromagnetic energy at a rate greater than normal. We may
- 8:15Speaker 17: be headed for a gravitational collapse.
- 8:17Speaker 16: Pardon me, Dr. Cassidy, the mass proximity indicator is registering...
- 8:21Speaker 16: Not now, Tim.
- 8:22Speaker 5: I've got... Dr.
- 8:22Speaker 10: Cassidy, are you setting up solar radiation scanning?
- 8:26Speaker 6: What?
- 8:27Speaker 8: Solar scanning?
- 8:29Speaker 17: Oh, yes, yes, we're working on it, sir. Tim, have
- 8:32Speaker 17: communications patch Mycroft through to the ISA computers.
- 8:35Speaker 15: Right.
- 8:36Speaker 17: Commissioner White, I'm having our computer tech supply your office
- 8:39Speaker 17: with a duplicate of our current information tapes.
- 8:41Speaker 8: You'll have everything we've got shortly.
- 8:43Speaker 14: Yes.
- 8:44Speaker 10: Yes, Doctor. My terminal is receiving it now.
- 8:50Speaker 5: Hey, is this right?
- 8:51Speaker 10: It can't be.
- 8:54Speaker 8: I'm afraid so, Commissioner White.
- 8:56Speaker 17: We've got about 60 hours before the sun reaches singularity and.
- 9:00Speaker 8: Earth freezes solid.
- 9:02Speaker 5: What can we do to help?
- 9:04Speaker 17: Well, first of all, we need you to send an
- 9:06Speaker 17: SET up here right away. We need to make a
- 9:08Speaker 17: house call.
- 9:09Speaker 10: Well, the only space exploration team I've got for immediate
- 9:13Speaker 10: loss that can handle this is Delta One.
- 9:15Speaker 8: Delta One? Oh, wait a minute. That's Graydon, right? Captain
- 9:20Speaker 8: John Graydon?
- 9:21Speaker 5: That's Buddy Griff.
- 9:22Speaker 10: That's right, Ma'am.
- 9:23Speaker 8: Oh, no, Commissioner. Isn't there anyone else you could send us?
- 9:26Speaker 10: I'm sorry, Doctor. That's the team. We'll launch immediately. Their
- 9:30Speaker 10: ETA is three hours, ten minutes. Keep us informed, Ma.
- 9:35Speaker 9: Yes, sir.
- 9:36Speaker 8: We'll keep you informed.
- 9:38Speaker 5: Out.
- 9:39Speaker 11: Dr.
- 9:40Speaker 13: Cassidy, what's wrong?
- 9:41Speaker 17: I can't believe they're sending Buddy Griff up here. They
- 9:45Speaker 17: might as well let the damn sun go out.
- 9:47Speaker 8: Delta One, SET Command. Report to ISA pre-launch immediately.
- 9:54Speaker 5: What? Oh, we just got in. Boy, you can't get
- 9:58Speaker 5: a spare minute anywhere anymore.
- 10:00Speaker 19: Oh, come on, Captain. Let's just finish this hand, huh? Oh,
- 10:03Speaker 19: we better pass for now, buddy. We better get down there.
- 10:06Speaker 5: Pass? The man's 18 in back of me, I got
- 10:08Speaker 5: a hot 21, and he says pass. It's just a game.
- 10:12Speaker 5: We can pick it up later. It's just a game.
- 10:15Speaker 5: I'll say it's just a game. All right, all right.
- 10:18Speaker 5: ISA says jump, and Captain John Grayton jumps. That's how
- 10:22Speaker 5: come you're a bloody hero and I'm just a lover.
- 10:24Speaker 5: And that's the story of your life, right, buddy?
- 10:32Speaker 11: Dr.
- 10:32Speaker 16: Cassidy, I just got back from spectral analysis. The mass
- 10:36Speaker 16: proximity indicators are registering some kind of solid object near
- 10:40Speaker 16: the sun.
- 10:41Speaker 13: It's like a planetoid.
- 10:43Speaker 8: Tim, don't be silly. The MPI is probably reading solar
- 10:47Speaker 8: flare-off gases.
- 10:48Speaker 13: But I think there's something there.
- 10:51Speaker 8: Don't worry about it, Tim.
- 10:53Speaker 17: Besides, the problem right now is the SCT crew they're
- 10:56Speaker 17: sending us.
- 10:57Speaker 13: I don't understand. Isn't that the next logical step?
- 11:01Speaker 17: Logical step, yes. Logical team, no. Especially with Buddy Griff.
- 11:07Speaker 13: Buddy Griff?
- 11:08Speaker 8: Captain John Graydon's co-pilot. The Prince of Pomposity.
- 11:12Speaker 16: John Graydon... I met him just after he got back
- 11:16Speaker 16: from Altair. He's a great pilot. I remember a lecture
- 11:20Speaker 16: he gave our academy class in 2010.
- 11:23Speaker 8: It's not John who worries me.
- 11:25Speaker 5: It's Griff.
- 11:26Speaker 17: During the Altair mission, my father was with them. But
- 11:30Speaker 17: he made a very bad judgment error with a photon laser.
- 11:33Speaker 17: It caused my father's death.
- 11:36Speaker 13: Oh, Doctor, I'm sorry. I had no idea.
- 11:42Speaker 5: Yes.
- 11:43Speaker 8: Well, never mind. I'll deal with that later.
- 11:47Speaker 17: Well, let's get up to spectral analysis and take a
- 11:50Speaker 17: look at this planetoid of yours.
- 11:52Speaker 13: I'm really worried about this, Doctor. I have a theory
- 11:56Speaker 13: that this object is affecting the sun. Now, don't ask
- 12:00Speaker 13: me how the devil it got there.
- 12:01Speaker 8: Tim, pull yourself together.
- 12:10Speaker 5: Hiya, fellas.
- 12:11Speaker 11: Graydon.
- 12:11Speaker 5: Commissioner White.
- 12:12Speaker 11: Griff.
- 12:13Speaker 5: Hey, keep acid, Chief. Listen, men, we've got problems with
- 12:16Speaker 5: the sun.
- 12:17Speaker 9: Heavy solar activity that needs some first-hand observation.
- 12:20Speaker 5: You'll be briefed on Starlab by Dr.
- 12:22Speaker 10: Cassidy.
- 12:23Speaker 5: Starlab, huh? That's right. They're expecting you right away. You'd
- 12:27Speaker 5: better get over to launch control now. Have I got
- 12:30Speaker 5: time to get some cigarettes? Come on, buddy. Let's go.
- 12:35Speaker 5: You are cleared for launch to 0302.
- 12:38Speaker 10: Your trajectory is 010 degrees.
- 12:39Speaker 5: Market control, 010 degrees.
- 12:41Speaker 10: Give my regards to Earth Control. 5.
- 12:44Speaker 18: 4, 3, 2, 1... Oh man, I just love a
- 13:06Speaker 18: good rocket ride.
- 13:24Speaker 16: ISA Launch Control reports Delta-1 liftoff, Dr.
- 13:27Speaker 13: Cassidy. Their ETA is a little less than two hours.
- 13:30Speaker 8: All right, Tim. Keep me informed.
- 13:31Speaker 5: Yes, Doctor.
- 13:32Speaker 16: Uh, there's more data coming in on the mass proximity indicator.
- 13:36Speaker 8: What do you mean?
- 13:38Speaker 16: Instruments show a planet-sized mass does exist. It's roughly on
- 13:42Speaker 16: the same plane of the ecliptic. Someplace inside the orbit
- 13:46Speaker 16: of Venus.
- 13:47Speaker 3: A planet?
- 13:49Speaker 8: In the orbit of Venus? You're crazy, Tim.
- 13:52Speaker 13: I realize it sounds bizarre, but.
- 13:54Speaker 17: Look, Tim, we both checked the radio telescope reports from
- 13:57Speaker 17: spectral analysis. There were no visible signs of any planetoid.
- 14:02Speaker 17: There must be something wrong with the MPI. Have the
- 14:05Speaker 17: technicians comp you scan the circuits.
- 14:06Speaker 11: But, Dr.
- 14:07Speaker 13: Cassidy.
- 14:07Speaker 8: And when Delta One docs bring them to my office?
- 14:10Speaker 13: Yes, Doctor.
- 14:14Speaker 9: As the sun's unusual activity continues, Starlab researchers work around
- 14:20Speaker 9: the clock to unlock the mystery.
- 14:23Speaker 5: Tim has found a clue which Dr. Cassidy believes to
- 14:27Speaker 5: be a fluke. Computer error? Maybe.
- 14:31Speaker 9: But what Tim may have found could be the first
- 14:34Speaker 9: sign of alien worlds. Alien Worlds continues. Strange solar activity
- 14:59Speaker 9: threatens the survival of Earth. A solar exploration team is
- 15:04Speaker 9: sent to investigate under the direction of Dr. Mara Cassidy
- 15:09Speaker 9: at Starlab, a space observatory. There is little time.
- 15:18Speaker 5: Dr.
- 15:18Speaker 13: Cassidy?
- 15:19Speaker 5: Yes, Tim.
- 15:20Speaker 13: Delta One reporting. Captains Graydon and Griff.
- 15:23Speaker 5: Thank you, Tim.
- 15:24Speaker 8: Come in, gentlemen.
- 15:25Speaker 5: Hello, Dr. Cassidy. Good to see you again.
- 15:28Speaker 8: Hello, Captain Graydon.
- 15:30Speaker 5: Griff. Hiya, Doc. Hey, where's the hero's welcome? No band,
- 15:33Speaker 5: no parade, no hats and horns. I thought this was
- 15:35Speaker 5: a big deal.
- 15:36Speaker 8: Like the big deal with my father, right?
- 15:38Speaker 15: Right.
- 15:39Speaker 5: Oh, look, lady, there were problems for all of us
- 15:42Speaker 5: on Altair. What happened with your father could have involved anybody.
- 15:45Speaker 5: It just happened to be me.
- 15:47Speaker 8: That's right, buddy. It just happened to be you.
- 15:50Speaker 19: All right, you two, enough of this. We've got work
- 15:52Speaker 19: to do. Can you tell us why we're here, Doctor?
- 15:55Speaker 17: Well, you've observed the unusual solar activity during the past
- 15:58Speaker 17: few hours.
- 15:58Speaker 5: Yes, of course.
- 16:00Speaker 19: We were wondering if there are any solar collecting activities
- 16:03Speaker 19: that could be causing this.
- 16:04Speaker 5: No, we've checked that.
- 16:05Speaker 17: There's something going on with the sun itself. That's why
- 16:08Speaker 17: we need you. To take pictures and run solar tests
- 16:10Speaker 17: close up.
- 16:11Speaker 8: Before it goes dead.
- 16:13Speaker 5: Dead? The sun? Oh, Doc, you've been out without a
- 16:17Speaker 5: spacesuit too long. That's impossible.
- 16:19Speaker 8: No, I'm afraid it's not impossible, buddy. Watch the computer terminal.
- 16:24Speaker 12: Tim? Right.
- 16:30Speaker 13: That's frightening.
- 16:31Speaker 6: Wow.
- 16:32Speaker 5: What's our bottom line?
- 16:33Speaker 8: I want you to get as close as you can.
- 16:35Speaker 13: We'll have you patched into the Mycroft computer.
- 16:38Speaker 8: We can then direct you from that point as to
- 16:39Speaker 8: what to do next.
- 16:41Speaker 5: Just what I need to end up as barbecued spaceman.
- 16:43Speaker 5: We better get rolling. Right.
- 16:45Speaker 8: Tim, take Captains Graydon and Griff down to mission control.
- 16:47Speaker 5: All right.
- 16:48Speaker 8: Good luck, you two.
- 16:49Speaker 5: We'll get the story for you, Maura. Yeah, and if
- 16:52Speaker 5: you're real good, we'll sell you the rights.
- 16:54Speaker 16: Bye.
- 16:58Speaker 13: I didn't expect you two at Star Labs so quick.
- 17:01Speaker 5: Oh, we didn't either, Tim. But we had this tailwind.
- 17:03Speaker 5: A tailwind?
- 17:05Speaker 11: Right.
- 17:06Speaker 16: By the way, Captain Graydon, I feel I should tell
- 17:09Speaker 16: you there's something out there by the sun.
- 17:12Speaker 11: Oh, really?
- 17:13Speaker 5: What do you mean, Tim?
- 17:14Speaker 13: I have a theory about all this.
- 17:16Speaker 11: Theory?
- 17:17Speaker 5: What theory? About what?
- 17:18Speaker 16: Well, I'm certain there's a planetoid out there next to
- 17:22Speaker 16: the sun, drawing off energy.
- 17:24Speaker 5: A planetoid? You think it's alien?
- 17:28Speaker 13: Well, let me put it this way. It's not ours.
- 17:37Speaker 16: We haven't been able to track it visually because of
- 17:40Speaker 16: the glare.
- 17:40Speaker 13: From the sun's rays, so I can't prove my theory yet.
- 17:44Speaker 5: Hmm. Well, we'll keep an eye out, Tim. Thanks for
- 17:48Speaker 5: the tip. Right.
- 17:49Speaker 13: So long, and good luck.
- 17:52Speaker 5: Thanks, Tim.
- 18:05Speaker 10: Delta One, you are at T-minus 30.
- 18:09Speaker 17: Launch.
- 18:09Speaker 13: Roger, Starlab Control.
- 18:10Speaker 5: T-minus 28 and counting. Delta One, telecom computer lock. 775 megahertz.
- 18:16Speaker 11: Our microstata transfer is online. Channel 775 locked.
- 18:20Speaker 10: Transfer's online.
- 18:20Speaker 15: Check.
- 18:20Speaker 5: Starlab Control, we're on the grid. Five, four, three, two, one.
- 18:35Speaker 14: Lift away.
- 18:44Speaker 9: As Delta One moves into the black depth of space,
- 18:48Speaker 9: Captains Graydon and Griff set a course for a dying son.
- 18:57Speaker 5: We're getting close. Is shielding operational? It is now, Captain.
- 19:04Speaker 12: Delta One, this is Starlab.
- 19:06Speaker 10: We scope you at 214 degrees bearing 030. We have
- 19:12Speaker 10: visual radio telescope contact with you. MPI shows a planet-sized mass.
- 19:17Speaker 5: Close to your present position.
- 19:19Speaker 10: You are off.
- 19:20Speaker 5: Course by 0.25 degrees.
- 19:23Speaker 12: Have you visual contact? Starlab.
- 19:28Speaker 5: Starlab, this is Delta One. Do you receive?
- 19:30Speaker 12: Over.
- 19:31Speaker 5: What the... Skipper? What's happening, buddy? Where's our power? The
- 19:37Speaker 5: main rockets just went branchless. Flame out. We've lost our
- 19:40Speaker 5: maneuvering power. The radio's gone, too. Fire retros. I am, Skipper.
- 19:47Speaker 17: Nothing.
- 19:48Speaker 5: They're like a plate of cold spaghetti. We're being pulled
- 19:51Speaker 5: off course. The compass has gone berserk. What is happening? Buddy,
- 19:57Speaker 5: what the devil is that?
- 19:59Speaker 17: What?
- 20:00Speaker 5: Where?
- 20:01Speaker 17: Look.
- 20:03Speaker 5: Over here. Through the infrared viewing screen. Off the port side.
- 20:07Speaker 5: Where did that come from?
- 20:09Speaker 13: It's huge.
- 20:11Speaker 5: It's definitely not an asteroid. No, it's too spherical. Well,
- 20:15Speaker 5: whatever it is, we're being pulled towards it. Look at
- 20:18Speaker 5: the size of that thing. I wonder if that's what
- 20:23Speaker 5: Tim was babbling about. You don't suppose... What, Captain? Never mind.
- 20:30Speaker 5: That's the strangest looking thing I've ever seen. It's gotta
- 20:33Speaker 5: be some kind of a giant vehicle. Like a planetoid, Captain?
- 20:39Speaker 5: Didn't really want to say it. Ah, yeah, I know. Well,
- 20:41Speaker 5: hang on, Captain.
- 20:42Speaker 20: We're on a collision course with it. Dr.
- 20:48Speaker 5: Cassidy, look!
- 20:50Speaker 13: On the tracking screen, Delta One.
- 20:53Speaker 5: It's gone.
- 20:54Speaker 8: What's happened to them?
- 20:55Speaker 5: They vanished.
- 20:56Speaker 16: Right off the screen, the scopes, the radios, everything.
- 21:00Speaker 13: They're gone.
- 21:01Speaker 5: I knew it.
- 21:03Speaker 8: Keep trying to establish contact. We've got to locate them.
- 21:12Speaker 5: Hey, Captain, what happened? Who turned out the lights? Buddy,
- 21:18Speaker 5: we're inside Tim's planetoid.
- 21:20Speaker 17: What?
- 21:21Speaker 5: Oh, man, I must have blacked out. Look, over there,
- 21:26Speaker 5: an opening. That's where we must have come in. Hey,
- 21:32Speaker 5: what's that?
- 21:33Speaker 21: Something's outside the hatch door. I think we've got company.
- 21:44Speaker 21: I hope that's the name of the hotel.
- 21:45Speaker 11: I guess you better do as he says, buddy. They
- 21:50Speaker 11: look pretty gruesome.
- 21:51Speaker 5: Really?
- 21:52Speaker 12: Goody.
- 22:03Speaker 11: I am Gargon of the Markav Confederacy.
- 22:07Speaker 5: Come with us.
- 22:10Speaker 20: I'm Captain John Graydon, ISA Terra. Where are you taking us?
- 22:18Speaker 20: I always knew I should have taken foreign languages.
- 22:20Speaker 5: All right, don't get pushy. Get your claws off me. Boy,
- 22:27Speaker 5: are you weird looking. I know of no Markab Confederacy,
- 22:31Speaker 5: at least in this galaxy. Me neither, Chief.
- 22:35Speaker 13: Wow.
- 22:37Speaker 5: This must be the lobby.
- 22:39Speaker 11: Commander Konar, we have intruders on Voltar.
- 22:43Speaker 5: Intruders? By what reason do you come to Voltar? Well, Doc,
- 22:47Speaker 5: you see, we really didn't plan on it. You might
- 22:50Speaker 5: say we sort of fell into it, you know what
- 22:51Speaker 5: I mean? Why do you approach Voltar, Sunminers? Sunminers? We're
- 22:57Speaker 5: from Terra, Earth. We're not intruders. We're on an emergency mission.
- 23:01Speaker 5: Our son is dying. Uh, Captain, we've just stumbled onto
- 23:05Speaker 5: the reason.
- 23:06Speaker 11: I am Czar Konar, commander of the Markab Confederacy, fifth
- 23:12Speaker 11: galaxy of Tremion.
- 23:14Speaker 5: You are intruders. Look, Commander Konar, we were pulled off
- 23:19Speaker 5: our mission by you.
- 23:20Speaker 11: You have entered forbidden space, Markab space.
- 23:25Speaker 5: Markab space? What are you doing to our sun?
- 23:28Speaker 11: We collect and store great energy from many suns.
- 23:33Speaker 5: Yours is not the first. Yeah? Well, listen, you sun stealers.
- 23:38Speaker 5: Earth can't survive without that energy.
- 23:40Speaker 11: Then you shall perish. We take suns in many galaxies.
- 23:46Speaker 11: It must be so for Markab existence.
- 23:49Speaker 5: Hey, no way, you oversized tin termite. We're not going
- 23:53Speaker 5: to stand for this.
- 23:54Speaker 11: Buddy, no.
- 23:55Speaker 5: Don't. Buddy, are you all right? It's all right, Captain.
- 24:01Speaker 5: Run for it. I'll handle these things. Seize them. Run
- 24:05Speaker 5: for it, Skip.
- 24:06Speaker 14: Get out of here.
- 24:07Speaker 5: Buddy, are you crazy? Run, damn it!
- 24:12Speaker 8: In here.
- 24:13Speaker 5: I'll duck behind the skirter. Okay, now. Down this quarter.
- 24:19Speaker 5: Through here. Oh, which ramp? That one.
- 24:23Speaker 2: That's it.
- 24:24Speaker 15: There.
- 24:25Speaker 1: There's the ship.
- 24:29Speaker 5: If I could just manage to get.
- 24:31Speaker 14: Oh, shut up, you're wrong.
- 24:35Speaker 5: Oh, boy, too close for cover. All right, I made it. Oh, no.
- 24:42Speaker 5: I sure hope that energy field is null.
- 24:45Speaker 3: Come on, baby.
- 24:46Speaker 5: Come on, fly, Delta One. Fire, damn it. All right,
- 24:53Speaker 5: Delta One. Let's get the hell out of here. I'm moving.
- 25:00Speaker 5: The force field is null. Good. Instruments show me clear.
- 25:06Speaker 5: I'm through. I've made it. I can't believe it.
- 25:12Speaker 17: Oh, no.
- 25:12Speaker 5: Wait a minute. What's that pull?
- 25:16Speaker 12: Oh, no.
- 25:16Speaker 5: They've got a pressure beam on me. I've got to
- 25:18Speaker 5: go FTL.
- 25:19Speaker 13: Quick.
- 25:22Speaker 14: Okay.
- 25:23Speaker 5: I'm out of their orbit.
- 25:24Speaker 15: Wait. What?
- 25:26Speaker 5: Buddy, what about Buddy? I've got to get back. I've
- 25:30Speaker 5: got to get help. I can't just leave him there.
- 25:34Speaker 5: Starlab Control, this is Delta One. Come in, Starlab Control.
- 25:38Speaker 5: This is Starlab Control. Starlab, thank God. This is Delta One.
- 25:44Speaker 5: I've been overtaken. We've been in contact with alien beings.
- 25:49Speaker 10: Delta One, where have you been? You've been off my scope, sir.
- 25:52Speaker 5: The planetoid. Tim was right. It does exist. There are aliens.
- 25:58Speaker 9: John Graydon uses every faculty to blast free of the
- 26:02Speaker 9: Markab aliens and return to Starlab.
- 26:05Speaker 5: Call themselves Markabs. But he's still inside. We've got to
- 26:08Speaker 5: get him out.
- 26:09Speaker 9: Thoughts of what he just experienced race through his mind
- 26:13Speaker 9: at laser speed. It is imperative to warn Starlab and Earth.
- 26:19Speaker 9: The threat is no longer theory. It is reality. Graydon
- 26:25Speaker 9: and Griff have made contact with alien worlds. The Sun
