In this thrilling episode of Alien Worlds, we embark on a cosmic journey to the Arthur C. Clarke Astronomical Observatory, known as STARLab, where a team of scientists and astronauts face an unprecedented solar crisis. As unusual sunspot activity and solar flares threaten Earth's climate, the STARLab team, led by Dr. Mara Cassidy, scrambles to understand the phenomenon. Meanwhile, on Earth, temperatures drop and natural disasters unfold, hinting at a larger cosmic mystery.
As the situation escalates, a space exploration team, Delta One, is dispatched to investigate the sun's abnormal behavior. Captains John Graydon and Buddy Griff soon find themselves in a perilous encounter with alien beings known as the MarCabs, who are harvesting solar energy for their survival. With Earth's fate hanging in the balance, Graydon must navigate the challenges of alien worlds and find a way to save his planet from impending doom. Tune in for a gripping tale of interstellar adventure and the fight for survival.

[00:04:28] Unknown:
Roger, Mycroft on. Log on scanners.
[00:04:40] Unknown:
Hi, doctor Cassidy. Thanks for coming up here. I knew you'd wanna know. Alright, Tim. Now what's going on? The three of our main telescopes are tracking the sun. Yes. And? Analysis indicates an incredible amount of solar flaring and abnormal sunspot activity. Earth stations are reporting earthquakes, tidal waves, and various other abnormalities. We've begun tracking confirmation through our Mycroft computer center. Okay, Tim.
[00:05:04] Unknown:
This is spectral analysis level c. We have a priority report. This is control level c. Go ahead. Jerry, I can't believe what we're seeing up here. What is it? It looks like we may be headed for a singularity condition on the sun.
[00:05:17] Unknown:
Singularity? You mean the sun's going out? Bill, are you sure?
[00:05:23] Unknown:
Listen. We'll send Tim up there right now. We'll need all your current graphs and radiation scan reports. Okay, Jerry. And, Bill, you'd better set up radar solar tracking operations too. Alright, doctor Cassidy. Tim, you'd better get up there now. Get all the graphs and Mycroft readings. Okay, doctor Cassidy. I'm not looking forward to telling the ISA the sun is going dead.
[00:05:47] Unknown:
Knowledge concerning energy had become an important property to man. But the idea of the sun going out prematurely represents a new and very unusual situation for doctor Cassidy and STAR Labs' research people. The beginning of a dark nightmare in the light of alien worlds. Alien worlds continues. To those aboard StarLab, a shiny rotating observatory high above Earth, the sun seemed to be going dead. Radio telescopes reveal a once fiery sun darkening. Research director Mara Cassidy contacts the International Space Authority.
[00:06:48] Unknown:
This is the This is the ISA, doctor Cassidy. I NIR. Yes, commissioner. We've had a 20 degree temperature shift in the last hour on the Sahara, Ma. Satellite charge show glacier movement at the poles. It looks like an eclipse. What the hell's going on up there?
[00:07:03] Unknown:
We don't know exactly what's happening yet, but our Mycroft computer terminal shows readings that indicate the sun is losing electromagnetic energy at a rate greater than normal. We may be headed for a gravitational collapse. Pardon me, doctor Cassidy. The mass proximity indicator is registering now, Tim. I I've got Doctor Cassidy, aren't you setting up solar radiation scanning? A what? Solar scanning? Oh, yes. Yes. We're working on it, sir. Tim have communications patched Mycroft through to the ISA computers. Right. Commissioner White, I'm having our computer tech supply your office with a duplicate of our current information tapes. You'll have everything we've got shortly.
[00:07:42] Unknown:
Yes. Yes, doctor. My tunnel is receiving it now. Hey. Is this right? It can't be.
[00:07:52] Unknown:
I'm afraid so, commissioner White. We've got about sixty hours before the sun reaches singularity and Earth freezes solid. What can we do to help? Well, first of all, we need you to send an SET up here right away.
[00:08:06] Unknown:
We need to make a house call. Well, the only space exploration team I've got for immediate launch that can handle this is Delta one.
[00:08:14] Unknown:
Delta one? Oh, wait a minute. That's Graydon. Right? Captain John Graydon? And Freddie Griffin. That's right, ma. Oh, no. Commissioner, isn't there anyone else you could send us? I'm sorry, doctor. That's the team. We'll launch immediately.
[00:08:28] Unknown:
The ETA is, three hours ten minutes. Keep us informed, ma.
[00:08:34] Unknown:
Yes, sir. We'll keep you informed. Out. Doctor Cassidy, what's wrong? I can't believe they're sending Buddy Griff up here. They might as well let the damn sun go out. Delta one, SCT command. Report to ISA prelaunch immediately. What? What?
[00:08:54] Unknown:
Oh, we just got in. Boy, you can't get a spare minute anywhere anymore.
[00:08:59] Unknown:
Oh, come on, captain. Let's just finish this hand, we better pass for now, buddy. We better get down there. Pass?
[00:09:05] Unknown:
The man's 18 in back of me. I got a hot 21, and he says pass. It's just a game. We can pick it up later. It's just a game. I'll say it's just a game. Alright. Alright. ISA says jump and captain John Grady jumps. That's how come you're a bloody hero and I'm just a lover. And that's the story of your life. Right, buddy?
[00:09:30] Unknown:
Doctor Cassidy, I just got back from spectral analysis. The mass proximity indicators are registering some kind of solid object near the sun. It's like a planetoid.
[00:09:42] Unknown:
Oh, Tim, don't be silly. The MPI is probably reading solar flare off gases.
[00:09:47] Unknown:
But I think there's something there. Don't worry about it, Tim.
[00:09:51] Unknown:
Besides, the problem right now is the SCT crew they're sending us.
[00:09:56] Unknown:
I I don't understand. Isn't that the next logical step? Logical step, yes.
[00:10:01] Unknown:
Logical team, no. Especially with Buddy Griff. Buddy Griff? Captain John Graden's co pilot, the prince of pomposity.
[00:10:11] Unknown:
John Graden. I met him just after he got back from Altair. He's a great pilot. I remember a lecture he gave our academy class in 2010.
[00:10:21] Unknown:
It's not John who worries me. It's Griff. During the Altair mission, my father was with him. Buddy made a very bad judgment error with a photon laser.
[00:10:32] Unknown:
It caused my father's death. Oh, doctor. I'm sorry. I had no idea.
[00:10:41] Unknown:
Yes. Well, never mind. I'll deal with that later. Well, let's get up to spectral analysis and take a look at this planetoid of yours. I'm really worried about this, doctor.
[00:10:53] Unknown:
I have a theory that this object is affecting the sun. Now don't ask me how the devil had got there. Pam,
[00:11:01] Unknown:
pull yourself together.
[00:11:09] Unknown:
Hi, fellas. Graydon. Commissioner White. Rev. Hey. Keep going, chief. Listen, man. We've got problems with the sun. Heavy solar activity that needs some firsthand observation. You'll be briefed on STARLab by doctor Cassidy. STARLab, That's right. They're expecting you right away. You better get over to launch control now. Wait. Have I got time to get some cigarettes? Come on, buddy. Let's go.
[00:11:39] Unknown:
Zero zero. Your trajectory is zero one zero degrees.
[00:11:44] Unknown:
Market control, 010 degrees. Give my regards to Earth control. Five, four, three, two, one. Oh, man. I just love a good rocket ride.
[00:12:22] Unknown:
ISA launch control reports delta one lift off, doctor Cassidy. Their ETA is a little less than two hours. Alright, Tim. Keep me informed. Yes, doctor. There's more data coming in on the mass proximity indicator. What do you mean? Instruments show a planet sized mass does exist. It's roughly on the same plane of the ecliptic, someplace inside the orbit of Venus.
[00:12:46] Unknown:
A planet? In the orbit of Venus? You're crazy, Tim. I realize it sounds bizarre. Look, Tim. We both checked the radio telescope reports from spectral analysis. There were no visible signs of any planetoid. Well, there must be something wrong with the MPI. Have the technicians comp you scan the circuits. But doctor Cassidy And when Delta one docs bring them to my office?
[00:13:09] Unknown:
Yes, doctor.
[00:13:13] Unknown:
As the sun's unusual activity continues, star lab researchers work around the clock to unlock the mystery. Tim has found a clue, which doctor Cassidy believes to be a fluke. Computer error? Maybe. But what Tim may have found could be the first sign of alien worlds. Alien worlds continues. Strange solar activity threatens the survival of Earth. A solar exploration team is sent to investigate under the direction of Doctor. Mara Cassidy at StarLab, a space observatory. There is little
[00:14:16] Unknown:
time. Doctor Cassidy? Yes, Tim. Delta one reporting. Captains Graden and Griff. Thank you, Tim.
[00:14:23] Unknown:
Come in, gentlemen. Hello, doctor Cassidy. Good to see you again. Hello, captain Graydon.
[00:14:28] Unknown:
Griff. Hiya, doc. Hey. Where's the hero's welcome? No band, no parade, no hats and horns. I I thought this was a big deal. Like the big deal with my father. Right? Look, lady, there were problems for all of us on Altair.
[00:14:41] Unknown:
What happened with your father could have involved anybody. It just happened to be me. That's right, buddy. It just happened to be you. Alright, you two. Enough of this. We've got work to do. Can you tell us why we're here, doctor? Well, you've observed the unusual solar activity during the past few hours. Yes. Of course. We were wondering if there are any solar collecting activities that could be causing this. No. We've checked that. There's something going on with the sun itself.
[00:15:06] Unknown:
That's why we need you to take pictures and run tests close-up before it goes dead.
[00:15:12] Unknown:
Dead? The sun? Oh, doc, you've been out without a spacesuit too long. That's impossible. No. I'm afraid it's not impossible, buddy.
[00:15:21] Unknown:
Watch the computer terminal. Tim? Right. That's frightening. Wow. What's our bottom line? I want you to get as close as you can. We'll have you patched into the Mycroft computer. We can then direct you from that point as to what to do next. Oh, just what I need to end up as barbecued spaceman. We better get rolling. Right. Tim, take captains Greatnan and Griff down to mission control. Alright. Good luck, you two. We'll get the story for you, Mora. Yeah. And if you're real good, we'll send you the rights. Quiet.
[00:15:56] Unknown:
I didn't expect you two at Star Labs so quick. Oh, we didn't either, Tim. But we had this tailwind. A tailwind? Right. By the way, captain Gradyton, I feel I should tell you there's something out there by the sun. Oh, really? What do you mean, Tim? I have a theory about all this. Theory? What theory? About what? Well, I'm certain there's a planetoid out there next to the sun drawing off energy. A planetoid?
[00:16:25] Unknown:
You think it's alien? Well,
[00:16:28] Unknown:
let me put it this way. It's not ours. We haven't been able to track it visually because of the glare from the sun's rays, so I can't prove my theory yet.
[00:16:44] Unknown:
We'll keep an eye out, Tim. Thanks for the tip. Right. So long and good luck. Thanks, Tim.

[00:17:42] Unknown:
As Delta one moves into the black depth of space, captains Graden and Griff set a course for a dying sun.
[00:17:55] Unknown:
We're getting close. Is shielding operational? It is now, radio telescope contact with you. MPI shows a planet sized mass close to your present position. You are, of course, by 2.5 degrees. Have you visual cuss- STARLab.
[00:18:26] Unknown:
STARLab, this is Delta one. Do you receive? Over.
[00:18:30] Unknown:
What the
[00:18:32] Unknown:
Skipper?
[00:18:33] Unknown:
What's happening, buddy? Where's our power? The main rockets just went branched less, flame out. We've lost our maneuvering power. Power. The radio's gone too. Fire retros. I am, Skipper. Nothing. They're like a plate of cold spaghetti.
[00:18:49] Unknown:
We're being pulled off course. The compass has gone berserk. What is happening?
[00:18:55] Unknown:
Buddy, what the devil is that? What? Where? Look, over here through the infrared viewing screen off the port side. Where did that come from? It's huge. It's definitely not an asteroid. No, it's too spherical. Well, whatever it is, we're being pulled towards it. Look at the size of that thing. I wonder if that's what Tim was babbling about. You don't suppose what, captain? Never mind. That's the strangest looking thing I've ever seen. It's gotta be some kind of a giant vehicle. Like a planetoid, captain? I didn't really wanna say it. Yeah, I know. Well, hang on, on, captain. We're on a collision course with it.
[00:19:46] Unknown:
Doctor Cassidy, look on the tracking screen. Delta one. It it's it's gone. What's happened to them? They vanished right off the screen. The scopes, the radios, everything, they're gone.
[00:20:00] Unknown:
I knew it. Keep trying to establish contact. We've got to locate them.
[00:20:10] Unknown:
Hey, captain. What happened? Who turned out the lights? Buddy, we're inside Tim's planetoid. What? Oh, man. I must have blacked out. Look. Over there, an opening. That's where we must have come in. Hey. What's that? Something's outside the hatch door. I think we've got company. I, I hope that's the name of the hotel.
[00:20:45] Unknown:
Disembark your craft. You are under Gab control. Do not resist.
[00:20:52] Unknown:
I guess you better do as he says, buddy. They look pretty gruesome. Really? Alien beings.
[00:20:58] Unknown:
We've made contact with aliens. I am Gargon of
[00:21:09] Unknown:
I'm Captain John Graydon, ISA Terra. Where are you taking us? I always knew I should have taken foreign languages. Alright. Don't get pushy. Get their claws off me. Boy, are you weird looking. I know of no Markham Confederacy, at least in this galaxy. Well, me neither, chief. Wow. This must be the lobby. Commander Kolnar,
[00:21:39] Unknown:
we have intruders on Voltar. Intruders? By By what reason do you come to Voltar?
[00:21:45] Unknown:
Well, doc, you see, we really didn't plan on it. You might say we sort of fell into it. You know what I mean? Why do you approach Voltar sunminers? Sunminers? We're from Terra, Earth. We're not intruders. We're on an emergency mission our sun is dying. Captain. We've just stumbled onto the reason.
[00:22:05] Unknown:
I am Zarr Kolnar, commander of the Markov Confederacy, fifth galaxy of Tremion. He's
[00:22:11] Unknown:
You are intruders. Look, Commander Connor. We were pulled off our mission by you.

[00:22:25] Unknown:
What are you doing to our sun? We collect and store great energy from any suns. Yours is not the first. Yeah.
[00:22:35] Unknown:
Well, listen, you sun stealers. Earth can't survive without that energy. Then you shall perish.
[00:22:41] Unknown:
We take suns in many galaxies. It must be so for Markab existence. Hey.
[00:22:48] Unknown:
No way, you you oversized tin termite. We're not gonna stand for this. Buddy, no, don't. Buddy, are you all right? It's all right, Captain. Run for it. I'll handle these things. Seize, blow. Run for it, Skip. Get out of here. Buddy, are you crazy? Run, damn it. In here, all decked behind the skirter. Okay, Natus. Down this quarter. Through here. Oh, which ramp? Which ramp? Ramp? That one. That's it. There. There's the ship. Oh, I could just manage to get a shot here on.

[00:23:51] Unknown:
Alright, Delta one. Let's get the hell out of here. I'm moving. The force field is null.

This is Delta one. Come in, Starlight control. Starlight control. Starlight. Thank god. This is Delta one. I've been overtaken. We've been in contact with alien beings. The planetoid. Tim was right. It does exist. There are aliens.
[00:24:56] Unknown:
John Graden uses every faculty to blast free of the MarCab aliens and return to StarLab. Call themselves MarCabs.
[00:25:05] Unknown:
Buddy's still inside. We've gotta get him out. Thoughts of what he just experienced
[00:25:10] Unknown:
race through his mind at laser speed. It is imperative to warn StarLab and Earth. The threat is no longer theory. It is reality. Braden and Griff have made contact with alien worlds.

Listen. We'll send Tim up there right now. We'll need all your current graphs and radiation scan reports. Okay, Jerry. And, Bill, you'd better set up radar solar tracking operations too. Alright, doctor Cassidy. Tim, you'd better get up there now. Get all the graphs and Mycroft readings. Okay, doctor Cassidy. I'm not looking forward to telling the ISA the sun is going dead.
[00:05:47] Unknown:
Knowledge concerning energy had become an important property to man. But the idea of the sun going out prematurely represents a new and very unusual situation for doctor Cassidy and STAR Labs' research people. The beginning of a dark nightmare in the light of alien worlds. Alien worlds continues. To those aboard StarLab, a shiny rotating observatory high above Earth, the sun seemed to be going dead. Radio telescopes reveal a once fiery sun darkening. Research director Mara Cassidy contacts the International Space Authority.
[00:06:48] Unknown:
This is the This is the ISA, doctor Cassidy. I NIR. Yes, commissioner. We've had a 20 degree temperature shift in the last hour on the Sahara, Ma. Satellite charge show glacier movement at the poles. It looks like an eclipse. What the hell's going on up there?
[00:07:03] Unknown:
We don't know exactly what's happening yet, but our Mycroft computer terminal shows readings that indicate the sun is losing electromagnetic energy at a rate greater than normal. We may be headed for a gravitational collapse. Pardon me, doctor Cassidy. The mass proximity indicator is registering now, Tim. I I've got Doctor Cassidy, aren't you setting up solar radiation scanning? A what? Solar scanning? Oh, yes. Yes. We're working on it, sir. Tim have communications patched Mycroft through to the ISA computers. Right. Commissioner White, I'm having our computer tech supply your office with a duplicate of our current information tapes. You'll have everything we've got shortly.
[00:07:42] Unknown:
Yes. Yes, doctor. My tunnel is receiving it now. Hey. Is this right? It can't be.
[00:07:52] Unknown:
I'm afraid so, commissioner White. We've got about sixty hours before the sun reaches singularity and Earth freezes solid. What can we do to help? Well, first of all, we need you to send an SET up here right away.
[00:08:06] Unknown:
We need to make a house call. Well, the only space exploration team I've got for immediate launch that can handle this is Delta one.
[00:08:14] Unknown:
Delta one? Oh, wait a minute. That's Graydon. Right? Captain John Graydon? And Freddie Griffin. That's right, ma. Oh, no. Commissioner, isn't there anyone else you could send us? I'm sorry, doctor. That's the team. We'll launch immediately.
[00:08:28] Unknown:
The ETA is, three hours ten minutes. Keep us informed, ma.
[00:08:34] Unknown:
Yes, sir. We'll keep you informed. Out. Doctor Cassidy, what's wrong? I can't believe they're sending Buddy Griff up here. They might as well let the damn sun go out. Delta one, SCT command. Report to ISA prelaunch immediately. What? What?
[00:08:54] Unknown:
Oh, we just got in. Boy, you can't get a spare minute anywhere anymore.
[00:08:59] Unknown:
Oh, come on, captain. Let's just finish this hand, we better pass for now, buddy. We better get down there. Pass?
[00:09:05] Unknown:
The man's 18 in back of me. I got a hot 21, and he says pass. It's just a game. We can pick it up later. It's just a game. I'll say it's just a game. Alright. Alright. ISA says jump and captain John Grady jumps. That's how come you're a bloody hero and I'm just a lover. And that's the story of your life. Right, buddy?
[00:09:30] Unknown:
Doctor Cassidy, I just got back from spectral analysis. The mass proximity indicators are registering some kind of solid object near the sun. It's like a planetoid.
[00:09:42] Unknown:
Oh, Tim, don't be silly. The MPI is probably reading solar flare off gases.
[00:09:47] Unknown:
But I think there's something there. Don't worry about it, Tim.
[00:09:51] Unknown:
Besides, the problem right now is the SCT crew they're sending us.
[00:09:56] Unknown:
I I don't understand. Isn't that the next logical step? Logical step, yes.
[00:10:01] Unknown:
Logical team, no. Especially with Buddy Griff. Buddy Griff? Captain John Graden's co pilot, the prince of pomposity.
[00:10:11] Unknown:
John Graden. I met him just after he got back from Altair. He's a great pilot. I remember a lecture he gave our academy class in 2010.
[00:10:21] Unknown:
It's not John who worries me. It's Griff. During the Altair mission, my father was with him. Buddy made a very bad judgment error with a photon laser.
[00:10:32] Unknown:
It caused my father's death. Oh, doctor. I'm sorry. I had no idea.
[00:10:41] Unknown:
Yes. Well, never mind. I'll deal with that later. Well, let's get up to spectral analysis and take a look at this planetoid of yours. I'm really worried about this, doctor.
[00:10:53] Unknown:
I have a theory that this object is affecting the sun. Now don't ask me how the devil had got there. Pam,
[00:11:01] Unknown:
pull yourself together.
[00:11:09] Unknown:
Hi, fellas. Graydon. Commissioner White. Rev. Hey. Keep going, chief. Listen, man. We've got problems with the sun. Heavy solar activity that needs some firsthand observation. You'll be briefed on STARLab by doctor Cassidy. STARLab, That's right. They're expecting you right away. You better get over to launch control now. Wait. Have I got time to get some cigarettes? Come on, buddy. Let's go.
[00:11:39] Unknown:
Zero zero. Your trajectory is zero one zero degrees.
[00:11:44] Unknown:
Market control, 010 degrees. Give my regards to Earth control. Five, four, three, two, one. Oh, man. I just love a good rocket ride.
[00:12:22] Unknown:
ISA launch control reports delta one lift off, doctor Cassidy. Their ETA is a little less than two hours. Alright, Tim. Keep me informed. Yes, doctor. There's more data coming in on the mass proximity indicator. What do you mean? Instruments show a planet sized mass does exist. It's roughly on the same plane of the ecliptic, someplace inside the orbit of Venus.
[00:12:46] Unknown:
A planet? In the orbit of Venus? You're crazy, Tim. I realize it sounds bizarre. Look, Tim. We both checked the radio telescope reports from spectral analysis. There were no visible signs of any planetoid. Well, there must be something wrong with the MPI. Have the technicians comp you scan the circuits. But doctor Cassidy And when Delta one docs bring them to my office?
[00:13:09] Unknown:
Yes, doctor.
[00:13:13] Unknown:
As the sun's unusual activity continues, star lab researchers work around the clock to unlock the mystery. Tim has found a clue, which doctor Cassidy believes to be a fluke. Computer error? Maybe. But what Tim may have found could be the first sign of alien worlds. Alien worlds continues. Strange solar activity threatens the survival of Earth. A solar exploration team is sent to investigate under the direction of Doctor. Mara Cassidy at StarLab, a space observatory. There is little
[00:14:16] Unknown:
time. Doctor Cassidy? Yes, Tim. Delta one reporting. Captains Graden and Griff. Thank you, Tim.
[00:14:23] Unknown:
Come in, gentlemen. Hello, doctor Cassidy. Good to see you again. Hello, captain Graydon.
[00:14:28] Unknown:
Griff. Hiya, doc. Hey. Where's the hero's welcome? No band, no parade, no hats and horns. I I thought this was a big deal. Like the big deal with my father. Right? Look, lady, there were problems for all of us on Altair.
[00:14:41] Unknown:
What happened with your father could have involved anybody. It just happened to be me. That's right, buddy. It just happened to be you. Alright, you two. Enough of this. We've got work to do. Can you tell us why we're here, doctor? Well, you've observed the unusual solar activity during the past few hours. Yes. Of course. We were wondering if there are any solar collecting activities that could be causing this. No. We've checked that. There's something going on with the sun itself.
[00:15:06] Unknown:
That's why we need you to take pictures and run tests close-up before it goes dead.
[00:15:12] Unknown:
Dead? The sun? Oh, doc, you've been out without a spacesuit too long. That's impossible. No. I'm afraid it's not impossible, buddy.
[00:15:21] Unknown:
Watch the computer terminal. Tim? Right. That's frightening. Wow. What's our bottom line? I want you to get as close as you can. We'll have you patched into the Mycroft computer. We can then direct you from that point as to what to do next. Oh, just what I need to end up as barbecued spaceman. We better get rolling. Right. Tim, take captains Greatnan and Griff down to mission control. Alright. Good luck, you two. We'll get the story for you, Mora. Yeah. And if you're real good, we'll send you the rights. Quiet.
[00:15:56] Unknown:
I didn't expect you two at Star Labs so quick. Oh, we didn't either, Tim. But we had this tailwind. A tailwind? Right. By the way, captain Gradyton, I feel I should tell you there's something out there by the sun. Oh, really? What do you mean, Tim? I have a theory about all this. Theory? What theory? About what? Well, I'm certain there's a planetoid out there next to the sun drawing off energy. A planetoid?
[00:16:25] Unknown:
You think it's alien? Well,
[00:16:28] Unknown:
let me put it this way. It's not ours. We haven't been able to track it visually because of the glare from the sun's rays, so I can't prove my theory yet.
[00:16:44] Unknown:
We'll keep an eye out, Tim. Thanks for the tip. Right. So long and good luck. Thanks, Tim.

check. Starlight controller on the grid. Five, four, three, two, one. Lift away.
[00:17:42] Unknown:
As Delta one moves into the black depth of space, captains Graden and Griff set a course for a dying sun.
[00:17:55] Unknown:
We're getting close. Is shielding operational? It is now, radio telescope contact with you. MPI shows a planet sized mass close to your present position. You are, of course, by 2.5 degrees. Have you visual cuss- STARLab.
[00:18:26] Unknown:
STARLab, this is Delta one. Do you receive? Over.
[00:18:30] Unknown:
What the
[00:18:32] Unknown:
Skipper?
[00:18:33] Unknown:
What's happening, buddy? Where's our power? The main rockets just went branched less, flame out. We've lost our maneuvering power. Power. The radio's gone too. Fire retros. I am, Skipper. Nothing. They're like a plate of cold spaghetti.
[00:18:49] Unknown:
We're being pulled off course. The compass has gone berserk. What is happening?
[00:18:55] Unknown:
Buddy, what the devil is that? What? Where? Look, over here through the infrared viewing screen off the port side. Where did that come from? It's huge. It's definitely not an asteroid. No, it's too spherical. Well, whatever it is, we're being pulled towards it. Look at the size of that thing. I wonder if that's what Tim was babbling about. You don't suppose what, captain? Never mind. That's the strangest looking thing I've ever seen. It's gotta be some kind of a giant vehicle. Like a planetoid, captain? I didn't really wanna say it. Yeah, I know. Well, hang on, on, captain. We're on a collision course with it.
[00:19:46] Unknown:
Doctor Cassidy, look on the tracking screen. Delta one. It it's it's gone. What's happened to them? They vanished right off the screen. The scopes, the radios, everything, they're gone.
[00:20:00] Unknown:
I knew it. Keep trying to establish contact. We've got to locate them.
[00:20:10] Unknown:
Hey, captain. What happened? Who turned out the lights? Buddy, we're inside Tim's planetoid. What? Oh, man. I must have blacked out. Look. Over there, an opening. That's where we must have come in. Hey. What's that? Something's outside the hatch door. I think we've got company. I, I hope that's the name of the hotel.
[00:20:45] Unknown:
Disembark your craft. You are under Gab control. Do not resist.
[00:20:52] Unknown:
I guess you better do as he says, buddy. They look pretty gruesome. Really? Alien beings.
[00:20:58] Unknown:
We've made contact with aliens. I am Gargon of
[00:21:09] Unknown:
I'm Captain John Graydon, ISA Terra. Where are you taking us? I always knew I should have taken foreign languages. Alright. Don't get pushy. Get their claws off me. Boy, are you weird looking. I know of no Markham Confederacy, at least in this galaxy. Well, me neither, chief. Wow. This must be the lobby. Commander Kolnar,
[00:21:39] Unknown:
we have intruders on Voltar. Intruders? By By what reason do you come to Voltar?
[00:21:45] Unknown:
Well, doc, you see, we really didn't plan on it. You might say we sort of fell into it. You know what I mean? Why do you approach Voltar sunminers? Sunminers? We're from Terra, Earth. We're not intruders. We're on an emergency mission our sun is dying. Captain. We've just stumbled onto the reason.
[00:22:05] Unknown:
I am Zarr Kolnar, commander of the Markov Confederacy, fifth galaxy of Tremion. He's
[00:22:11] Unknown:
You are intruders. Look, Commander Connor. We were pulled off our mission by you.

[00:22:25] Unknown:
What are you doing to our sun? We collect and store great energy from any suns. Yours is not the first. Yeah.
[00:22:35] Unknown:
Well, listen, you sun stealers. Earth can't survive without that energy. Then you shall perish.
[00:22:41] Unknown:
We take suns in many galaxies. It must be so for Markab existence. Hey.
[00:22:48] Unknown:
No way, you you oversized tin termite. We're not gonna stand for this. Buddy, no, don't. Buddy, are you all right? It's all right, Captain. Run for it. I'll handle these things. Seize, blow. Run for it, Skip. Get out of here. Buddy, are you crazy? Run, damn it. In here, all decked behind the skirter. Okay, Natus. Down this quarter. Through here. Oh, which ramp? Which ramp? Ramp? That one. That's it. There. There's the ship. Oh, I could just manage to get a shot here on.
[00:23:35] Unknown:
Oh, boy. Too close for cover. Alright. I made
[00:23:39] Unknown:
it. Oh, no. I sure hope that energy field is null. Come on, baby. Come on. Fly, Delta One. Fire damage.
[00:23:51] Unknown:
Alright, Delta one. Let's get the hell out of here. I'm moving. The force field is null.
[00:24:01] Unknown:
Good. Instruments show me clear.
[00:24:04] Unknown:
I'm through. I've made Quick. Okay. I'm out of their orbit. Oh, wait. Buddy. What about Buddy? I've gotta get back. I've gotta get help. I can't just leave him there. Starlight control. This is Delta one. Come in, Starlight control. Starlight control. Starlight. Thank god. This is Delta one. I've been overtaken. We've been in contact with alien beings. The planetoid. Tim was right. It does exist. There are aliens.
[00:24:56] Unknown:
John Graden uses every faculty to blast free of the MarCab aliens and return to StarLab. Call themselves MarCabs.
[00:25:05] Unknown:
Buddy's still inside. We've gotta get him out. Thoughts of what he just experienced
[00:25:10] Unknown:
race through his mind at laser speed. It is imperative to warn StarLab and Earth. The threat is no longer theory. It is reality. Braden and Griff have made contact with alien worlds.
