19. The Troubled Spirit Screenplay: JOHNNY BYRNE Director: RAY AUSTIN	20. Space Brain Screenplay: CHRISTOPHER PENFOLD Director: CHARLES CRICHTON
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!	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! Dan Mateo: GIANCAROL PRETTE Laura Adams: HILARY DWYER Dr. James Warren: ANTHONY NICHOLLS Spirit: VAL MUSETTI	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. Kelly: SHANE RIMMER Melita: CARLA ROMANELLI Wayland: DEREK ANDERS
