Pasc and Etrec

Pasc and Etrec were placed in suspended animation hundreds of years ago
because Pasc had contracted the "Killing Sickness." It is only a matter of
time before Etrec falls victim to the same malady.

Maya and John on the surface of Luton

Maya and Koenig are forced to fight three aliens on a planet where plants are
the dominant species.

Deep beneath the surface of Moonbase
Alpha, Alan Carter and Andy Johnson dis-
cover the bodies of a man and a boy in a
state of suspended animation. The Alphans
release Pasc and his son Etrec. They say
that they are from Archanon, the planet
of peace, and were placed in the chamber
when other members of their expedition
contracted the "Killing Sickness." How-
ever, it was not the ohter Archanons who
had the disease, but Pasc and Etrec them-
selves. Pasc forces Helena into an Eagle
at gunpoint as an Archanon spacecraft,
following a signal sent the moment the
two were released, arrives overhead.
Etrec does not yet have the sickness and
desires to stay with his new friend,
Alan Carter. But Pasc threatens to kill
Helena unless Etrec leaves Alpha with
him.

Pasc: JOHN STANDING
Etrec: MICHAEL GALLAGHER

Koenig fighting Alien Strong
Maya and Koenig investigate a planet cov-
ered with vegetation but bearing no signs
of animal life. Eagle 1 develops an oxygen
leak and Tony is forced to return to Alpha
leaving the two behind. Maya innocently
picks some flowers and is shocked when a
thunderous voice cries out pronouncing
them killers and cannibals. The rulers of
the planet Luton sentence them to mortal
combat with three other aliens who have
also simply picked flowers. The winning
side will be set free but only when the
opposing side is completely killed; it is
a fight to the death. As Tony returns to
pick up the pair, the planet suddenly
vanished without a trace; there is no way
to find them. Meanwhile, Koenig is wound-
ed by "Alien Transport" when it material-
izes behind him. But Maya, using her pow-
ers of transmutation, saves Koenig. The
odds change for the worse again when the
last remaining alien captures Maya. Koenig
must kill him or she will be crushed in a
tiny cage when she can no longer hold her
bird form.
