THE DORCONS

Compare with ITC summary.

Alpha is invaded! An army of aliens storm into Moonbase Alpha. The target: Maya!

As the moon drifts slowly into the unknown depths of space, hundreds of multi- colored balls shoot out towards Alpha and Command Center flares with searing light. Maya falls to the floor groaning in agony screaming, "Destroy them they are Dorcons!"

As the lights pass and everyone recovers, First Officer Verdeschi realizes that probe signals are being sent from the robot devices through deep space. Commander Koenig quickly questions Maya about these Dorcons when a second object appears in the sky much larger than the first. It is a Dorcon battleship.

Varda, Supreme Leader of the Federated Worlds of Dorcon, appears on the screen and demands that the Alphans hand Maya over to them or suffer an invasion of Dorcon troops. Maya explains that the Dorcons are a warrior race and need the brain stems of Psychons to extend their own capacities, perhaps even attain immortality. Since she is the last of her race, the Dorcons must have her for their horrible experiments.

Koenig refuses the order and sends Captain Carter and an Eagle squadron out to battle the ship. It is a losing battle for the Alphans and Eagles are blown to bits by the Dorcon ship. Suddenly a flash of light and Command Center is invaded. Dorcon soldiers with fierce hand lasers stand ready to fire. The leader grabs Maya and as the transfer beam intensifies, Koenig jumps inside just in the nick of time.

As the beam rematerializes on the Dorcon ship, Koenig is captured and thrown into a cell. Maya is brutally strapped down to an operating table and held by a paralysis beam.

As Koenig comes to, he escapes into what seems to be a vent duct only to find himself trapped inside the master computer. In the distance the sirens of electronic equipment hum louder as the operation readies...

DORZAK

Compare with ITC summary.

An evil space criminal turns out to be a long lost survivor from Maya's planet Psychon. His one desire: the secret of molecular transformation.

A fantastic spaceship arrives and requests permission to land. In the absence of Commander Koenig (out on a mission) First Officer Verdeschi allows the ship to land. All are astonished when a lovely alien emerges and immediately shoots Maya with a futuristic weapon.

The alien, Sahala, explains that aboard her vessel is a very dangerous criminal from the planet Psychon, her mortal enemies! Her prisoner, Dorzak, is accused of terrible, heinous crimes against her people and is being exiled.

Tony orders Sahala under arrest. But Capt. Carter, who is taken by her incredible beauty, talks to her and convinces her to bring Maya to consciousness.

Maya is delighted to learn that another Psychon got away and believes Dorzak to be a philosopher of peace and a poet of freedom. She refuses to believe Sahala.

Meanwhile, Dr. Russell operates on Sahala's wounded crew member and discovers a small implanted golden capsule. Alan analyzes the capsule and discovers that it blocks strong telepathic suggestions. X-rays show that Sahala also carries a capsule.

Maya still refuses to believe her fellow Psychon capable of evil behavior, so Tony suggests that Maya transform into Sahala's image and confront Dorzak.

Dorzak is too clever and locks Maya in his prison forcing her to teach him the secrets of molecular transformation. Now with this incredible power he takes over Command Center changing into bizarre evil creatures. It is up to Maya, who escapes the prison and unleashes her full fury on Dorzak.

The incredible battle of the Psychons begins. The stakes - Moonbase Alpha!
