  9. Well, they do their training flights over the dark side away from Alpha traffic.
  10. But there is a minimum altitude regulation.
  11. Second camera please.
  12. Hang on, Commander. We're going to try and blast you out of there.

  29. Commander! It's going up!
  30. Main Mission to all Eagles. Return to base immediately. Repeat, return to base immediately.
  31. Seal off all sections-
  32. You alright?
  33. This is Main Mission. All sections report.
  34. I'm getting a long range video picture from the Mars satellite.

  13. Commander?
  14. They'll be ready.
  15. I'm fine, sir. No dangerous elements so far.
  16. Yes, sir?
  17. But sir-
  18. Yes, sir.

Black Sun (37)

  1. No, thank you. Sandra?
  2. How close will it pass us?
  3. David, have you got those figures yet?
  4. Hum. Nevertheless. Estimate the damage potential, just in case.
  5. Just in case.
  6. Central Computer gave the collision alarm, sir.
  7. Not even enough time to secure the base.
  8. Commander. It's impossible, but we're changing course.
  9. Just about where the asteroid was first caught.
  10. No malfunction at either end.
  11. Commander, his anti gravity screens. The needle's still in the red.
  12. But you think we can avoid it?
  13. Professor, you didn't answer my question. Do you think we can avoid it?
  14. With the Professor. Out there.
  15. Switching to full power.
  16. Maximum power, sir. Steady and holding.
  17. Commander, you've got a full house. We're all with you.
  18. Good luck.
  19. Six. David said it was impossible to determine the amount of mass available to the black sun in this sector. It's gravitational force increases every minute, pulling us towards it faster than originally calculated.
  20. Well, these figures may be the answer. With the force field activated we.. we might slow down enough to buy the time.
  21. It's either Alpha, sir, or the survival ship.
  22. Twelve minutes to countdown, sir.
  23. Attention all personnel, attention all personnel. Stand by for force field test. Thirty seconds.
  24. Then all our worries are over.
  25. Ten seconds. Full power, sir?
  26. Five seconds. Four. Three.
  27. Two. One. Zero.
  28. Do me a favour, David. Mind the shop.
  29. I wanted to.
  30. Alan. One minute to lift off.
  31. Fifteen seconds. Alan. Good luck.
  32. Commander. Central Computer's deactivated itself. One hundred percent power facilities are feeding main generator units. The force fields functioning..
  33. Very good sir.Well, I..never thought it would end this way.
  34. Thank you.
  35. They're coming back!
  36. Commander. Come on.
  37. We went right through it. It was fantastic.

Ring Around The Moon (34)

  1. Kano. Stop him.
  2. This is Main Mission. All sections report. All sections report.
  3. Picture gone.
  4. Commander. Transmission coming in.
  5. Commander. Power failures in sections G six, eight and eleven. All transportation -out.

  13. They're down.
  14. Commander, this is Morrow.
  15. I've got their exact location. North east six hundred metres.
  16. An attack. Commander.
  17. They've jammed the scanner systems. They're up to something. It might be a missile attack. You'd better get back here.
  18. Just lifting off now.

  30. This is Main Mission, come in, Commander Koenig.
  31. They're through.
  32. All set, sir.
  33. The instruments show the sphere is breaking up.
  34. It's lost it's power.

Earthbound (27)

  1. Right, thank you.
  2. None, sir.
  3. None, sir.
  4. Yes sir.
  5. Right.
  6. You have gravity and atmosphere, Commander.
  7. None of us knows for sure, Commissioner.
  8. Main Mission standing by.
  9. Maybe they don't live by lunar time, Commissioner?
  10. Crash units stand down.
  11. Maintenance Crew prepare to receive alien space ship.
  12. Security. Stand by Travel Tube to alien spaceship
  13. and prepare for visitors.
  14. Well, the boys have slowed up a bit, but the ship will be ready on schedule.
  15. The spaceship will be ready for countdown at oh nine hundred hours, sir.
  16. Five minutes to go.
  17. Very good, sir. On his way.
  18. Commander.
  19. Yes sir.
  20. Switch to reserve power.
  21. Trying to, sir.
  22. Commander. Countdown is T minus twenty eight minutes. Do I continue counting?
  23. Captain Zantor to Main Mission, please. Captain Zantor to Main Mission.If there's one man Alpha could do without it's Simmonds. I say let him go.
  24. Let him go, Commander. We'll be well rid of him.
  25. Commander.
  26. I'm getting a signal, sir, from the Kaldorian spaceship.
  27. From Commissioner Simmonds, sir. He thinks he's approaching Earth.

Another Time, Another Place (23)

  1. Intense gravitational forces, sir.
  2. All sensor equipment malfunctional.
  3. Yes, sir.
  4. We're still working on them, sir.
  5. Link up positive.
  6. All output link ups completed, sir.
  7. It checks out.Computer confirms there are nine planets revolving around that sun.
  8. Come in, Earth. Moonbase Alpha calling Earth. Moonbase Alpha calling Earth. Come in, Earth.
  9. We're not receiving you, Earth. Possibly you can hear me. Computer forecasts that we shall re-enter Earth orbit in forty five hours.
  10. But we're getting no response to our signals - something's wrong.
  11. Still no contact, Commander.
  12. Yes sir.
  13. Nothing, sir.
  14. Commander Koenig. Emergency. Main Mission.
  15. The scanners have just picked it up, sir.
  16. Seems we've found another Moon.
  17. E T A twenty two hundred hours, Earth time.
  18. Good luck, Alan.
  19. Commander Koenig.
  20. There was a terrible phenomenon. Like comets fighting in the sky. Regina was affected by it. Six days later she was dead.
  21. Hardly a coincidence.
  22. Commander Koenig. Bring your people down here and what happened to Regina, to Helena, will happen to all of us.
  23. Go back to your own place. There's nothing for any of you down here. Except destruction.

Missing Link (26)

  1. Alpha to Eagle One. Come in, One. Alpha to Eagle One. Come in, One.
  2. Returning?
  3. Heard, but not understood.

  6. Alpha to Eagle One. Come in, One.
  7. Medical Centre. Report on their physical position please.
  8. Doctor Russell. Get a Medical Team over to Launch Pad Seven.
  9. Nothing, Doctor. But their communications systems are working now. We may hear from them at any moment. How's the Commander?
  10. Commander Koenig?
  11. Are you alright?
  12. Do what you can, Alan. The Rescue Unit's on its way. We'll have you home in no time.
  13. Doctor Russell.
  14. We've heard from Carter. Commander Koenig's alive, but badly hurt.
  15. Yes, Alan. Go ahead.
  16. Affirmative.
  17. Alright, Alan.
  18. When they've secured the module I'll take over from here.
  19. You just keep your fingers crossed.
  20. Alpha to Eagle Seven. All secured. Alan, hang on.
  21. Ready for pick up. Countdown..ten seconds..nine..eight..seven..
  22. That's enough, Kano.
  23. I said that's enough. You alright, June?Don't you ever do that again.
  24. Right now I'm off duty. So are you!
  25. Everyone back to their stations.
  26. No one's being callous, just realistic. The entire base is pulling for the Commander to make it. But you can see the effect it's having on people. Kano losing his temper.Me as well. The security men have broken up three brawls already.

Guardian Of Piri (15)

  1. Confirm final descent now, Pete?
  2. Or Computer made a bad mistake.
  3. Check the figures, Kano.
  4. Did you get that, Pete?

  11. We're all so happy.
  12. We're happy!
  13. There's Koenig!
  14. There's no place on Piri for you, Koenig.
  15. Ignition.

Force Of Life (18)

  1. It's still not registering, Commander.
  2. Commander. Security Alert in the Generating Section. Generating Area. This is Main Mission. Report please.
  3. Technician Zoref. Report your situation. Technician Zoref. Report your situation.
  4. Attention all sections Alpha. Here is a special announcement, effective immediately. Access to the Generating Area is forbidden. Until further notice.
  5. You mean shut down the reactors?
  6. Oh, that would take a matter of seconds, but..
  7. Well, in twenty minutes all our sick in the Intensive Care Unit will die. Thirty minutes, our ..recycling plants will be ..damaged beyond repair. At forty our oxygen will give out.
  8. Main Mission to Generating Area Three. Full alert. Do not approach technician Zoref.
  9. Where?
  10. Attention F section personnel.
  11. Technician Zoref is now somewhere in your area. You are warned to avoid contact.
  12. Cutting power now, Commander.Cut it.
  13. All power's been cut. Commander's orders.

  16. Yes, Commander.
  17. Already activated.
  18. All sections Alpha, report your damage.

Alpha Child (23)

  1. We made it!
  2. It's a boy! I knew it!
  3. It'd be a boy!
  4. Never!
  5. Come on. Life here's not that abnormal. We eat, sleep, drink, even breathe air of a kind. Possibly there's something specific about this particular case.
  6. Ready for landing, Eagle One?Well done. Enjoy your flight, Commander? Splendid uniform you've got. He's cute, isn't he?Have a look at this.Commander Koenig. We've a visitor.
  7. Our new Commander, I think!
  8. Commander?
  9. Will you come to Main Mission, please?
  10. Scanners picked up something heading straight for us.
  11. It's heading for the North Quadrant.
  12. They could blast us at any moment without warning, if they wanted to.
  13. Which ever way you look at it, their behaviour is suspicious.
  14. Alan's very close, Commander. I think we should make the first move.
  15. Better be safe than sorry.
  16. Maybe they've got just what they want by keeping quiet. But Commander, we're wide open.
  17. No I.
  18. Commander. Three more spaceships approaching Alpha.
  19. They've knocked out all our cameras, Commander.
  20. Cameras operating again, sir.
  21. What else can we do?
  22. What's the problem, Commander?
  23. There could be more. I'll take care here.

The Last Sunset (52)

  1. Heat shields at maximum. Stand by to fire your retros in...thirty seconds.
  2. Technical Area sealed off and ventilated.
  3. Pressure in the Technical Area was up to eighty before we could activate the airlocks. It couldn't get out fast enough.
  4. Confirm airlock pressure equalised with atmosphere.
  5. I feel fine!
  6. Smells very good.
  7. Like...like country air!
  8. Not exactly home.
  9. It makes you look at things in a different light.
  10. No, more than that. If this is the end of one life, we have to start to build a new one, to live like human beings again.
  11. Bird song?
  12. In there, cooped up,
  13. there are thoughts we just can't allow ourselves to think.
  14. Tomorrow we'll build the New Alpha.
  15. Nice heavy rain cloud forming over the Taurus mountains.
  16. Hm.
  17. How you feeling back there?
  18. We're losing power!
  19. Main Boosters. Malfunction.
  20. Back up power.Malfunction.
  21. The lightning. It must have blown out every circuit in the ship.
  22. Come on, then.
  23. Dust! Are you alright?
  24. Some camouflage, eh?
  25. Let's get this gear outside. We've got to start making some kind of marker.
  26. She'll die out here. A hundred and twenty degrees by day and freezing by night.
  27. Noone reckoned on you for flying into a cloud bank for your kicks.
  28. Make that three.
  29. There must be something we can do?
  30. You're getting better. You're going to be all right.
  31. We will. We will.
  32. Ssh. Ssh. I'll find you some more to drink.Here.
  33. Yes, it's rained.
  34. Home. The new city of Alpha. You'll be cooler up here when the sun's up. It gets whatever breeze is going.
  35. We've found our home. We're the first Earthmen. This is our Garden of Eden.
  36. Breakfast?
  37. Manna. Food from heaven. Or perhaps from the people on the planet Ariel, if you prefer.
  38. Over there. Under the rocks. It's growing like mushrooms.
  39. But I've already tested it.
  40. Not yet. We were waiting until you joined us. The change in Sandra's condition is born of hope. But man should not live by hope alone.
  41. The way I see it is, it's no accident that the moment I lie down to die, this stuff literally appears in front of my nose. Look, it could be months before they find us out here. Every time we clear a signal area the dust covers it up again. Maybe we'll never even see another Eagle. Yesterday we were dying without hope. Today we not only have hope, but sustenance as well.
  42. There's no alternative. We either eat it or die.
  43. How long will that take?
  44. And we shall build farms first. And then will come the roads and the streets, and slowly the community will have a heart, an urban heart of great buildings. It'll be the capital of our new civilisation.
  45. Of course!
  46. We're not going back! We're staying right here to begin our new life! None of this happened by chance. We're given an atmosphere. A freak electrical storm and we're cut off!A freak dust storm and we're buried! We are near to starvation and food is sent from the heavens! Oh no. The people on that planet have a sense of purpose and I believe we have one now. This land will flow with milk and honey. We will build and settle and bring up children; we'll multiply!And like the people of old Peru, who spread the human race across the Pacific in fragile rafts, so we will launch forth into space and spread humanity from solar system to solar system.That was sacred, friend Alan. That was sent to us in our time of need!
  47. Pick it up!
  48. You would come between me and my destiny. Noone shall stop me! Noone!
  49. Look, Doctor Russell! The people of the planet Ariel are here again! It is a second coming!
  50. Leave her alone!
  51. I said leave her alone!We have laid the foundation stone of mankind's future, Sandra and I.
  52. Oh, I'm not. It wasn't a bad trip. Except for the ending.

Voyager's Return (26)

  1. We've lost ship to base communication.
  2. Yes. Incredible speed produced by fast neutrons spewed out into space, annihilating everything in their path. You'd survive better standing smack in the middle of a nuclear explosion.
  3. If it comes too close we'll be burnt up. If it-
  4. passes at a distance we'll be polluted by neutron fallout and we'll die anyway. We've got to blast it out of the sky, Commander!
  5. Danger? Even if we climbed into lead caskets under twelve feet of concrete we'd still be burned up!
  6. That ship has to be destroyed!
  7. Emergency crew to launch pad four.
  8. Commander, Eagle One is down.
  9. Still in one piece.
  10. Yes, sir.
  11. He may have changed his name but nothing can change what he did.
  12. That's one more to the score. But I'm thinking of fifteen years ago. The second ship on the programme, Voyager Two. The Queller Drive cut in too soon.
  13. Two hundred people were killed because something went wrong. A whole community wiped out! My father was one of them. I know something went wrong.
  14. Not even to Jim Haines? He lost both his parents because of Queller. He should know who he's working with.
  15. Those ships are following the Voyager.
  16. Commander!
  17. The Voyager's ready for boarding.
  18. Commander?
  19. We're picking up considerable magnetic activity inside Voyager One.
  20. Intensity building rapidly.
  21. By the look of those Sidon ships, I don't think much of our chances.
  22. Seventy five thousand.
  23. Commander! The Voyager! It's taking off!
  24. Signal from Voyager One.
  25. He's cut off!
  26. Screens holding.

  6. Blast now T minus fifteen.
  7. Five. Four.
  8. Three. Two. One.
  9. Eagle One, do you copy? Come in, Eagle One.
  10. Getting them now, sir.
  11. So we just wait for the screens to crack?
  12. Thanks to Alan.
  13. Structural damage in Maintenance Section B four.
  14. Medical section reports fourteen casualties.
  15. No. Conventional injuries only, so far.
  16. Come in, Eagle One.
  17. Alan, can you hear me?
  18. Eagle One, do you copy? Alan, can you hear me?
  19. Commander, we are at risk from radiation here on Alpha. If you fly an Eagle through that radiation cloud..
  20. Pad Two's damaged.
  21. I have four warning lights here. On the secondary systems. But they're minor. I say we disregard them.
  22. Clear to go.
  23. Hello, Eagle One. Hello, Eagle One. Eagle One, do you copy?
  24. Come in, Eagle One. Eagle One, do you copy? Can you give me your last position, Alan? We're on our way to bring you in.
  25. Come in, Eagle One.
  26. Eagle One, do you copy?
  27. Come in, Eagle One. Eagle One, do you copy? Can you hear me?
  28. Alan, this is Paul. We're up here in Eagle Four. Steer us to your position.Alan, this is Paul. Did you get that? Eagle One, do you copy? He's not receieving us.
  29. I haven't got his position yet.
  30. There he is.
  31. Confirmed.
  32. Check. Well done, sir.
  33. How is he?
  34. Commander? Commander, what's wrong? Commander?
  35. Commander.
  36. Why?
  37. Decontamination procedure?
  38. Clean as a whistle.
  39. No radiation. What are we going to do about it?
  40. How about this?
  41. We alter our own trajectory by setting up a blast on the other side of the Moon.
  42. We recreate by design the accident that originally blasted us out of Earth's orbit.
  43. We survived it once.
  44. Isn't that exactly what we're asking for!?
  45. Go on.
  46. We'll bombard that planet with every kind of communication we can devise.
  47. Reconnaissance Eagle ready on Pad Four. Copilot Pierre Daniel is standing by.
  48. Very loud and very clear.
  49. Sandra's data from your on-board computer confirms that. We're receiving it's information and we copy.
  50. Professor Bergman's made his first computation. Looks possible.
  51. Alpha Main Mission, we copy.
  52. Well, Professor. Are you happy?
  53. Then we go ahead.
  54. We read you, Commander.
  55. Punch in long range cameras.
  56. Why doesn't he open fire?
  57. Eagle Four. Come in, Eagle Four. This is Main Mission. Do you copy? Eagle Four, come in.
  58. Well, what do we do?
  59. What can we do?
  60. Operation Shockwave, do we go on with it?
  61. Okay. The planning meeting for Operation Shockwave is brought forward. We'll start it right away in the Commander's office.Keep calling, and if you hear anything -anything at all- let me know.
  62. How much time do we have?
  63. Tanya. Give all cargo carrying Eagles lift off clearance.
  64. There's no need to state the obvious.Main Mission to all Cargo Eagles. Move towards the alien spaceship. Coordinates for the nuclear charges will be transmitted shortly.
  65. We read you, Commander. Are you alright?
  66. Repeat, sir.
  67. Yes, sir.
  68. The charges are in position, Commander. The countdown's underway. It would be madness to stop it. Is that what you want?
  69. Then you are mad.
  70. Commander, it's an open and shut case. We either make some attempt to save ourselves or we die. Anyway, what's so different about this situation to any other danger we've been in?
  71. Then tell us what she's going to do?
  72. You don't know!
  73. But it's absurd..
  74. But you set up Operation Shockwave.
  75. Do we continue with Shockwave?Countdown is six hours and thirty two minutes.
  76. Activate radiation shields to medium power. Technical Section. Seal all launch pads. Evacuate maintenance areas and decompress.
  77. Nuclear charges fused and ready to detonate.
  78. Arming nuclear trigger.
  79. Or death.
  80. Then we'll die for certain.
  81. We're all going to die in a minute. I'll take my chances a few seconds early. Shoot me, if you choose.
  82. Come on. Quick. Get those fires out. Sandra, Kano, keep monitoring. To your posts everyone. Attention all sections Alpha, report your damage. Technical Section, issue damage control equipment to all sections. Medical Section, prepare to receive casualties.

Death's Other Dominion (25)

  1. Commander?
  2. We're transmitting continuously but getting nothing back. Computer says the weather conditions on the surface are terrible.
  3. All the time.
  4. Thank you. Sunrise, Kano.
  5. We must try again. We'll transmit at full power. If they're alive they must be in the Eagle.
  6. I'm beginning to doubt that it does. Even wild geese can't live in conditions like that.
  7. Link up?
  8. Hello Eagle One. Do you hear me?
  9. Eagle One, if you can hear me you must lift off immediately. Icing conditions are worsening.Come in, Eagle One. Alpha calling.
  10. Eagle One, do you copy? Report, Eagle One. Report your situation. Do you hear me, Eagle One? Do you copy, Eagle -
  11. Eagle One, this is Alpha.
  12. Come in, Eagle One, do you copy? Eagle One, do you copy?
  13. Do you read me, Eagle One? Do you copy? Eagle One, this is Alpha. Eagle One, this is Alpha. Eagle One, do you copy?

  16. Eagle One, do you copy? Come in, Eagle One. Alpha calling.
  17. Hello, Eagle One, do you hear me?
  18. Yes, Alan. We copy. Report?

  3. We've checked. There's been no reoccurrance anywhere on Alpha. Whatever happened was sudden and swift.
  4. Commander. Most of us here are scientists. Rational human beings. Now we believe in the laws of cause and effect. Now what happened to Warren was an effect. But can we really accept that the cause was supernatural?
  5. But it's a totally esoteric supposition.
