Maya and Reilly examine the glowing rock

It isn't the mineral that they are looking for, but Dave Reilly and Maya stop
to examine the strangely glowing rock.

Commander Koenig and They Taybor

Taybor puts his craft into hyperdrive and amazes Koenig with the speed of the
ship. The space trader is willing to share its secrets with Alpha for a
price...he wants Maya!

Searching for a melginite, a mineral needed for
the functioning of Moonbase Alpha, Commander Koenig, Dr. Russell,
Tony, Maya and geologist Dave Reilly investigate
a planet that appears to be without life.
But it is a world populated by living
rocks. These organisms can communicate
with each other and begin an attack on
the Alphans by emitting deadly energy rays.
The creatures ar in need of water and
decide to use the humans to find the life-
sustaining liquid. Tony is the first to
be taken over when a seemingly harmless
piece of stone is brought aboard Eagle 1.
Using its powers, the rock creature at-
tempts to blast off in the craft with
Helena trapped on board. If the creature
succeeds, Tony, John, Maya nad Reilly will
be marooned forever!

Alpha learns the hard way to beware of
strangers bearing gifts. Moonbase is
visited by the galactic trader Taybor,
skipper of the S.S. Emporium. Bearing an
incredible collection of gifts to trade,
Taybor offers Koenig something almost
priceless: a jump-drive device that, in-
stalled on an Eagle, will shuttle the
Alphans back to Earth. But the jump-drive
does have its price--Maya! Koenig refuses
the offer, but tries to swap a life-sized
model of Maya to keep Taybor company. The
trader agrees, only to kidnap the real
Maya right out from under the Alphans'
noses. He makes the jump into hyperspace
and Alpha is helpless to stop him, but
the trader does not realize the full ex-
tent of Maya's powers!
