Matter Of Life And Death (16)

  1. Commander. Preliminary reports from onboard computer coming through now, sir.
  2. He checks out. It's him alright, Commander.
  3. We could do it, sir. But only just.
  4. Hasn't changed, Commander. We've peaked your optimum take-off time. There's just two hours before we have to abandon Phase Two.
  5. Did I, sir? I must have been mistaken.
  6. Commander Koenig.Essential we have flight coordinates for Phase Two probe.
  7. We're cutting it very fine, sir.
  8. Yes, sir.
  9. Yes, Commander!
  10. If we leave within the next thirty minutes we'll make it. Though it will cut our surface operating down to zero minimum.
  11. No impurities.
  12. Edible.
  13. Commander. You know those feasibility programs we've been running on Main Computer?
  14. Well, it seems our present trajectory will take us past something like ten million planets. Well, it means we should pass near to three thousand, six hundred Earth type planets, statistically. Now, that means about ten Earth type planets for every one on Alpha.
  15. Not very much, Professor. Relatively speaking, that is.
  16. Two thousand, five hundred and forty-three years old to be exact, sir.Just thought you might like to know.

Black Sun (16)

  1. Fair-sized asteroid, but there's nothing to worry about.
  2. There's no need to, Paul. It's not going to collide with us.
  3. Commander Koenig. Collision course reaffirmed. Impact area Alpha.
  4. It's force is immeasurable. Even Computer cannot determine it.
  5. But Computer will have to be deactivated for the force field.
  6. It will cut through fish scales.
  7. Well, you should have said so. It's your responsibility. If it takes more power, then say so.
  8. Computer's functioning fine, Professor.
  9. We had to utilise minimum power for usual heating services during your force field test.
  10. We have plenty of power.
  11. We have less than four hours before entering the black sun. Commander. Alpha cannot survive without Computer.
  12. Computer on minimum capacity.
  13. Commander.What about Computer?
  14. My figures read less than two hours.
  15. Yeah.
  16. Oh, thank you.

Ring Around The Moon (16)

  1. Ted, come away from there.
  2. Computer unable to make any calculations. Insufficient data.
  3. Yes sir.
  4. It's no use, sir.
  5. It's no accident, Paul.
  6. Eagle One under Main Mission control.
  7. Eagle One touch down.
  8. Memory Cell Three Seven One classified, the complete breakdown of our life support system.
  9. Only if you stop her.
  10. Only once, but it worked. When I jammed Computer the force field was turned off for three point two seconds.
  11. Thirteen minutes ten seconds from lift off to getting through the force field, which of course won't be there.
  12. Plus ten seconds. It's easy. Like jamming a typewriter.
  13. Any moment now.
  14. Naturally.
  15. Paul. Information on Triton is in place. Doctor Russell. Now you can only transmit what we want them to know.
  16. Get ready.

Earthbound (7)

  1. Estimate..a minute or less.
  2. Data analysed and ready for print out, Commander.
  3. Negative, Commander.

  3. ..two..one..
  4. Zero!
  5. You clumsy fool! Is it so difficult to carry a tray of coffee?
  6. This inefficient..
  7. You're not in command here yet!

Guardian Of Piri (20)

  1. It has been scanning the data continuously ever since we first became aware of the planet's existence. But it still reports it to be insufficient.
  2. Well, in neither case would the computer be so irrational as to guess.
  3. When will they ever learn.
  4. They're doing just fine by Computer.
  5. Both computer's confirm G forces as estimated.
  6. I kept on telling you, Computer has insufficient data. It can not assess the planet unless you feed it the right information.
  7. But Computer does not make that kind of mistake.
  8. Yes, but so far they have found not the smallest malfunction.
  9. We can find no fault in the system.
  10. Commander, that happened..
  11. But we can find no fault.
  12. I have thought of it.
  13. As you say, Commander, there is only one way.
  14. All set.
  15. I swore I'd never go through this again.
  16. What you mean is I survived it once, but the other three patients ended up mindless vegetables. What does that do to my chances now?
  17. Let's get on with it.
  18. Computer is right. Piri is just perfect for all our needs.
  19. There is light.
  20. Commander.Computer has analysed the data from the Long Range Scanners. Planet Piri now has life, water, vegetation, everything!

Force Of Life (5)

  1. Nothing, Commander. No indication that there is anything out there at all.
  2. It's being restored now, sir.
  3. Storage cells are exhausted, Commander. Something caused a massive loss of power in that entire area.
  4. Anton Zoref last entered Generating Area at twenty forty five lunar time.
  5. Not yet, Commander. Relay in all the affected areas is not working.

Alpha Child (10)

  1. They've already called computer for data on the Generating Area. It looks as though the Commander's re opened the enquiry into Jack's death.
  2. No new facts, no new answers. It seems-
  3. Nothing yet from the computer, sir.
  4. It's made of some kind of alloy. Composition unknown. It's a hundred metres in diameter, forty meters high. Yet it has very low density.
  5. The Computer finds some form of life indicated, but not human. Without previous experience Computer can not identify it.
  6. You said it was primitive.
  7. The question is, who does the job?
  8. Everyone seems alright, Commander.

  12. Eagle Two Four to pad Five.
  13. Eagle One Nine to pad One.
  14. Lift off, Eagle Twelve.
  15. Elevator locked on pad four. You're clear to go, Eagle One Four.
  16. Main Mission to Eagle fleet. Wind is south westerly at two one zero and falling to strength three. Dust is still the problem over the search area but..good luck.
  17. They've run out of daylight. The last Eagle is returning to base.
  18. Eagle One Five is grounded, Commander.

  10. Save the planet the trouble by blowing ourselves up.
  11. By a miracle.
  12. Fine, but don't ask computer to work it.
  13. Well, the Cargo Eagles carrying the nuclear charges should be leaving now.
  14. Unless we let shockwave go ahead.
  15. It's against every fact and calculation..
  16. Two minutes fifty nine to detonation.
  17. Gravitational pull increasing to strength four.
  18. Gravitational pull increasing rapidly now.
  19. We must detonate.

  6. I can't understand it, Commander.
  7. I've checked everything. Computer is transmitting data into Kelly's brain.
  8. Into him. And through him it's being beamed towards orbital reference three nine seven.
  9. The process is now reversed, Commander. Computer is now receiving data. It's coming from the same area of space and reaching computer via Kelly's brain.
  10. He's reprogramming so fast I can't get any details.
  11. From the data we've managed to process, computer has determined the energy field has no mass.
