Dan Mateo's Ghost

Somehow, Dan Mateo's ghost has appeared on Alpha and killed all of the people
responsible for his death. But Dan Mateo is still very much alive!

White Antibodies in Main Mission

The direct-vision ports have burst from external pressure and white anti-
bodies of the "Space Brain" flood Moonbase alpha as the staff seeks to pro-
tect the base from destruction.

An eerie wind sweeps through Alpha and
botanist Dan Mateo collapses during what
appears to be a seance. Mateo confesses
to making an attempt to communicate with
plants by telepathy, but somehow Mateo
has summoned up his own ghost. The spirit
kills two people with whom Mateo is angry.
Bergman sees only one hope to destroy the
ghost--a scientific exorcism. They soon
discover that the mutilated spirit is out
to revenge a horrible death that has not
yet happened!

Helena and John
Alien hieroglyphics suddenly appear on all
of Alpha's communications screens. The
source is a fantastic display of light in
space. The first Eagle sent out is assumed
destroyed when a meteorite screams out
and impacts on the lunar surface. Koenig is
horrified to learn that the six-foot-
diameter mass is the compressed form of
the Eagle and its pilots! Alan Carter and
co-pilot Kelly are also out in space
searching for the missing Eagle at the
time of the horrifying discovery. Kelly
leaves the Eagle to get first-hand data
on the mysterious lights, but after his
exploratory spacewalk, Kelly appears to
have gone beserk. It is soon learned
that the light source is a brain that
wants to warn Alpha that it is on colli-
sion course with its Moon, both masses
unable to avoid impact. However, before
it was realized that the brain meant no
harm, a nuclear explosive-filled Eagle
was launched into the brain. Koenig orders
the ship back, but the remote control
system has shorted out and the craft is
now on a collision courses with Alpha.
Koenig must board the Eagle and disarm
the bombs before it's too late.
