The aliens have taken over the minds of the Alphans who believe a rescue party from Earth has arrived. Koenig is the only one to see them in their true form.	Alan has no idea that he is actually cutting into a nuclear waste dome. Needing the raw energy of a fusion explosion to insure their own survival, the aliens are preventing Carter from seeing what is really happening.
Koenig appears to have gone mad as he crashes his Eagle near the Nuclear Waste Domes on the Moon. While he's under medical observation, Helena hooks him up to a Brain Impulse Machine in the hope of cur- ing him. Suddenly, from out of the void, comes a Superswift bearing the friends and relatives of the Alphans. They have come to rescue the castaways. When Koenig awakens, Helena informs him of the good news and he races to Command Center. But his eyes see neither friends nor relatives. The center is filled with hideous monsters and on the launch pad he does not see a Superswift, but a spacecraft of unknown design. Thinking the brain machine has failed, Helena sedates the now screaming Koenig. Guido Verdeschi then announces that Alan will fly the pilot ship back to Earth with two members of the nuclear mon- itoring team. Meanwhile, one of the crea- tures has entered Medical Center intent upon killing the Commander. Guido Verdeschi: STUART DAMON Dr. Shaw: PATRICK WESTWOOD	Helena and Maya enter Medical Center in time to find Helena's old teacher Dr. Shaw, near Koenig. He leaves as Koenig awakens. Koenig tries to convince the pair that he is sane. At the same time, Alan and the two men from the monitoring team believe that they have left Alpha and are flying to Earth in the pilot ship. In reality they are aboard an Eagle head- ing toward the Nuclear Waste Domes. Koenig convinces Maya to try the Brain Machine and soon she sees the visitors as they really are. Transforming herself into one of them, she learns that the monsters need the raw energy of the nuclear waste to survive; they plan to detonate all the domes. As Carter and the two men approach the domes with the fusion rod that will explode the nuclear pile, Koenig races to the area in a Moon buggy. All hope lies with Helena--she must find a way to pre- vent the weakened monsters from tapping Alpha's energy. If it can be done, they will be helpless to stop Koenig from in- terfering.
