Lee was lost on a space mission years ago. Dr Mathias gives him a drug to wake him up, but he is incoherent. When Helena is alone with him, lightning strikes out at her.

Victor shows Koenig thermographic plates showing that Lee has no body temperature- except when Helena is near. Lee is interrogated. He warns them not to go to the planet, but then dies.

Koenig decides to ignore the warning and they fly down to the planet.
