Their mission to save Alpha from destruction has failed. The Masters will not stop the blast that would destroy the Moon. Finding themselves without sufficient fuel to return to Alpha, the trio agree to die in space.	Osgood is sure that the Moon was about to be destroyed by the fire storm. He decides to take Michelle out of the Medical Center and hide with her in the deep catacombs.
As Alpha nears a green planet, the Moon is hit by shock waves that the satellites of the planet are emitting. With Moonbase facing destruction in twelve hours from the next detonation, Koenig, Maya and Carter set out to find the aliens who may be in control. On the near- est moon, they are told by a voice probe that only "the Masters" of the planet can help them. Having reached the chlorine- based world, an immense elevator brings the Eagle down in to the chamber of the Masters. But the Masters have entered a period of sleep. Koenig threatens to use the Eagle's laser until two creatures, A and B, are awakened. They decide to hear Koenig's case, but arrive at opposite conclusions. C is awakened to break the tie. They refuse to stop the next explo- sion. Koenig turns down their offer for safety and the trio leave, but they can- not return to Alpha--all of their fuel is gone. Alpha awaits destruction. A: INA SKRIVER B: SARAH DOUGLAS	While searching beneath the Moon's sur- face for vital minerals, chief miner Pat Osgood is caught in an explosion. As he lies unconscious, he has a vision of the Moon erupting into flames as fire rains down from space. A brass four-poster bed appears on the lunar surface. Osgood sees his wife on the bed reaching out from the flames. In reality, however, Michelle Osgood is in Medical Center dying from a fatal heart condition. Osgood attempts to warn Alpha of the impending disaster he foresaw in his vision, but everyone believes he is losing his grip on sanity because of Michelle's condition. However, when Koenig and Fraser investigate a strange space phenomenon, they discover that a flaming plasma cloud is on direct collision course with Alpha. Osgood is determined to save Michelle from the fire storm. Wiring him- self with Hypernitro, he carries her down into the catacombs of the Moon. Tony at- tempts to locate Osgood before Michelle dies. If Osgood sets off the Hypernitro he could destroy everyone! Patrick Osgood: JAMES LAURENSON Michelle Osgood: PAMELA STEPHENSON
