Dr. Ochanomizu...

The second Mars Resource Expedition will leave this space station tomorrow.

I'm very happy to have Astro with us.

He studied hard and trained well for a month.

No more worries.

I'm glad to hear that, Dr. Moss.

Astro will serve fine as a member.

Dr. Ochanomizu, there's one thing | haven't told you.

What is it?

Astro is not going as a member. He'll be the Captain.

The Captain?

| don't want to repeat the same mistake.

You may recall that | sent a large resource expedition team to Mars.

But as soon as they reached Mars, they started to quarrel...

and they returned and left their lieutenant alone on the forsaken planet.

| know the first expedition failed because of that.

Then even more so, the Captain needs to be...

A robot, like Astro.

A robot?

Yes. Robots do not bare their emotions.

- But Astro is still a young boy. - Don't worry.

He will do just fine.

- Astro... - Look, here she comes.

Ready to leave for Mars tomorrow: the Cross.

Mars Captain

You look good, Astro.

I'll do my best, Doctor.

Take care of yourself.

Right!

Mars Expedition Team Co-Captain, Lt. Ketchup, would like a word with Dr. Moss.

Speak.

You assigned a robot to be our captain. | am absolutely against it.

Not only me. Other members are against it.

| absolutely refuse to take orders from robots.

Selfish words and acts are not permissible.

But...

We are departing soon.

The Mars Expedition members, gather at the departure lounge now.

Go on.

Salute to the Captain.

Hello, everybody... Oops.

Mars Resource Expedition members, I'm Astro, appointed as your captain.

I'm a robot, but let's work together.

Good.

Salute.

| don't like it...

Five minutes to launch.

The energy condenser shows instability.

Please fix it or it might lead to an accident.

Oh, you're right!

I'm surprised. He can see it without reading the meter.

Final check is complete, sir.

Lieutenant, how about the magnetic compass?

What do you mean?

The magnetic compass is off by 0.001 second.

That's impossible. I've checked it thoroughly.

Please check it again, Lt. Ketchup.

- No need for that. - Check it, please.

What? Lieutenant, the Captain is right.

It's off by 0.001 second.

What?

Great to have a robot captain. His electronic brain is just perfect.

- Ignite the main engines. - Igniting main engines.

Astro here.

Captain, there's a stowaway. Come to the engine room now.

What?

Captain, there she is.

She's in the same uniform, but it doesn't have the number.

- Take her outside the ship now— - Captain.

The main engines are on. We can't open the hatch.

Please take me to Mars.

My brother was on the first expedition and he was left there.

Please, | want to see him.

We don't have spare beds. Please get off.

It's too late, Captain.

A robot is a robot, after all.

You'll never understand human feelings.

You...

30 seconds to launch. Enter your capsules and fasten seatbelts.

Too late now!

30 seconds to launch. Enter your capsules and fasten seatbelts.

Come on!

Get inside my capsule.

Go!

Captain, you'll be crushed to death!

Five seconds to launch. Four, three, two, one... launch!

Five seconds to launch. Four, three, two, one... launch!

The log book says that your brother, Lt. Rhizome,

wanted to turn the resource study base into a military defense base,

and got into an argument with the captain. But why?

He sensed that the Earth was in danger.

The Earth was in danger?

But nobody believed him. Please read this.

When he was left behind on Mars because he did not obey the captain,

he gave it to one of his men.

A diary.

“Arriving at Mars soon. Excited. Resource study is meaningful."

"March 4th. Encounter with a strange UFO."

"I've seen it twice," A strange UFO...

He drew a picture of it on the next page.

"A large, white-luminous object shaped like an egg."

"A strange shape that | have never seen before."

"It's eerie: it's as if it's watching us."

"| had a bad feeling and reported it to the captain, but he couldn't care less."

“Frustrated.” That's it.

My brother must have encountered the UFO several more times and sensed danger.

I think that's why he proposed building a defense base.

A UFO... It does look strange.

Captain, come to the bridge. The magnetic compass is off.

The magnetic compass?

We can't maintain the course like this. Lt. Ketchup?

We've checked the compass. No malfunctions.

- Then...? - No idea as to the cause.

There may be something wrong outside the ship.

Outside?

There's a luminous object near the thruster.

- What? - | knew it.

It must be a meteorite or something magnetically charged.

I'll go out and check.

Please go get me an energy cassette from my room, Lieutenant.

I'm running low. Hurry, please.

Damn, "Go get me"? A little robot, ordering me around.

This one's used up.

Okay...

There it is.

This is not a meteorite. It's the spaceship Lt. Rhizome saw.

| have to get it away. Heave-ho!

The energy alarm is going off.

My energy is running low. Strange. I'd just replaced it.

I'd better hurry.

There!

Oops!

H-Hey, wait...

Oh no, my energy...

They're gone.

I'm in trouble. | have to do something.

If this is a spaceship, maybe | can use it.

Huh?

Huh?

It's dead. But why... What's this...?

Oh no, I'm so weak. I'm really running out of energy.

Huh? Energy's back in my body...

Oh! The gun's energy gauge is going up.

This crystal must be the energy source.

Then maybe...

Good, it'll charge well.

Thus, unfortunately, Captain Astro was killed in an accident.

So from now on, |, Ketchup, will be your captain.

Salute to Captain Ketchup.

- Lt. Ketchup, Captain Astro is back. - What?

a aptain!

- Captain! - Captain!

Captain!

Sorry to worry you, everyone.

There was an energy source in the UFO and that saved my life.

What is this, Captain?

An alien. Very intelligent, too.

- It has eyes. - It has a mouth.

Captain.

| have to talk with you, Lieutenant. Come to my quarters, please.

Huh? Yes!

What is it, Captain?

Do you know Lt. Rhizome?

That's what you wanted to talk about?

Something's the matter?

Nothing at all. | have heard about him.

Lt. Rhizome thought an alien species was going to attack the Earth.

That was why he fought his captain.

Nonsense!

Why?

Aliens attacking the Earth? Silly nonsense.

But this armed alien was inside the UFO Lt. Rhizome saw.

So what? A lot of people have seen aliens and UFO's.

| have seen things like this several times before.

But...

Is there definite evidence they are planning an attack?

Evidence?

Yes, is there enough evidence that they're going to attack the Earth?

| just have a hunch Lt. Rhizome was right.

Nonsense! Don't summon me for a silly story.

That's the Mars Base the first expedition built.

Lt. Rhizome...

Darn. He's so lucky.

- What? - Nothing. Let's go.

What's this noise?

Lt. Ketchup, you're in command here.

Those aliens. So they must be fighting...

Lt. Rhizome, please respond.

I'm Lt. Rhizome. Who are you?

I'm Astro, Captain of the Second Expedition.

Captain? Then you have your men.

Your sister Cabette is here, too.

What?

Lieutenant!

Look out!

Lieutenant, lower the hood, now!

Lieutenant!

Forget about me. Call your men and fight them.

If you don't, it'll be a disaster.

Cabette told me. They are after the Earth, aren't they?

| caught them flying toward the Earth on the radar all the time.

They were showing up here everyday. Finally they started attacking.

| was attacked going out on reconnaissance.

Darn!

- Astro, you said? - Yes.

They plan to use Mars as a base and attack the Earth.

Call your men!

But the base is 200 miles away.

Use this radio.

Lt. Ketchup, it's me, Astro.

Where are you?

I'm at Point 2428.

The aliens are attacking us. Send the men at once.

Not again!

Why don't you believe me? The aliens are in front of my eyes.

I'm here to study resources. | have no time to listen to your tall tales.

! only carry out the mission given to me.

What are you talking about? Lt. Ketchup, come right away.

- | refuse! - Lt. Ketchup.

Are they still leading such an easy life on the Earth?

Darn them all.

- Darn it, they're... - Heading for the base.

| wonder who built them?

Lt. Ketchup, someone seems to be living here.

Lieutenant, the aliens are attacking us.

What?

- Unbelievable. - Captain Astro's story was true.

- Shut up and fight. - Yes, sir.

Cabette.

- Cabette. - Brother.

Cabette.

| have to lure them outside.

Here!

There!

Take this!

Damn, monster!

Lt. Ketchup, watch out!

Captain!

- Take all the men to the Cross! - But Captain...

Hurry!

! won't give in.

Take this!

Their motherships... If | down them...

Okay!

Lieutenant. Lieutenant!

No...

Lt. Ketchup...

Captain Astro...

| handed you an empty energy cassette on purpose.

| was wrong.

Lt. Ketchup...

Lt. Ketchup, you can't...

Lt. Ketchup...

Gen's dad is a traffic controller on a satellite.

He has an important job, regulating space traffic!

The satellite's been hijacked!

A spaceship is going to hit Earth!

No, my 100,000 horsepower isn't enough!
