23. Immunity Syndrome Screenplay: JOHNNY BYRNE Director: BOB BROOKS	24. The Dorcons (Originally Titled: The Return of the Dorcons) Screenplay: JOHNNY BYRNE Director: TOM CLEGG
Helena and Maya's only hope of reaching Tony with medical aid is to fly a plastic glider down to the planet, but can they land without power?	The light beam from the alien craft reaches down into Command Center. It touches each Alhpan before finding Maya. Suddenly the intensity changes and Maya feels incredible pain.
On an Earth-type planet, engineer Joe Lustig is dead and Tony lies half-dead. The cause is unknown. As Alan and Koenig prepare to bring Tony back to Alpha, the atmosphere on board their Eagle changes and the metal begins to disintegrate. The ship crashes. The crew is safe but Tony is farther away than ever from badly need- ed medical attention. On Alpha, Maya real- izes why the shipboard atmosphere changed and she and Helena plan to use a space glider made of plastic to reach the ma- rooned Alphans. Meanwhile, Koenig dis- covers a geodesic structure inside of which he finds a holographic recording made by the last man of an earlier alien landing party. The image tells of a crea- ture who is trying to communicate, but who is mistakenly killing those it wishes to talk to. It is a race against time as Koenig prepares to face the creature and Maya and Helena struggle to land their space glider.	A beam of light flashes from an alien spaceprobe and Maya falls to the floor screaming in agony. The Dorcons have ar- rived and their target is the Psychon. The huge Dorcon battleship hangs over Alpha demanding Maya. They need a Psychon brain stem to give immortality to their leader and, since Maya is the last of her race, they will stop at nothing to obtain it. Badly damaged, Moonbase is forced to give up its alien friend. Maya is taken aboard by transfer beam--but so is Koenig! He rescues Maya from alien sur- gery, but they are still trapped aboard the warship. Aid comes in the form of the treacherous Malic. He aids Koenig in free- ing Maya because if the leader dies, he will rule the Dorcons. But Malic does not intend to wait for the leader to die a natural death. He plans to blame his mur- der of the leader on the Alphans--thus insuring Maya's death as well. Consul Varda: ANN FIRBANK Malic: GERRY SUNDQUIST The Archon: PATRICK TROUGHTON
