Something's wrong with our compass.

Sandor, what's the matter with it?

[IQ-9] It's obviously not functioning properly.

All the instruments are checked regularly.

There's nothing wrong with it.

But Sandor, the needle is not showing the direction we're traveling in.

It's way off.

If the compass isn't broken, then it has to be something else.

Maybe it's being affected by some outside force.

But who could it be?

Who would go to the trouble of making our compass give us a wrong reading?

Gamilons.

Or it could be Iscandar.

Homer, can you check and see if we're getting

some kind of a signal that would affect our compass?

We are getting a signal.

It's from the Magellanic Cloud where Iscandar is.

But the cloud is so huge.

And there's so much interference.

Homer, isn't that a voice signal?

Starsha. This is Starsha of Iscandar.

That is Starsha, isn't it?

Yes, that's the right heading.

1-8-3-6-M. That's where Iscandar is.

Go ahead, Queen Starsha.

We hear you.

This is Starsha of Iscandar.

This is a great moment, Starforce.

You have almost reached your destination.

Iscandar is the eighth planet orbiting around our sun in what you call the Magellanic Cloud.

You have withstood many dangers, I know.

But at least you are almost here.

Follow our radio signal as a guide straight to Iscandar.

-Uh... -Venture!

Wildstar!

Okay. Nova, now I'll set the self-timer.

Hmm, that's fine.

Ouch!

Why'd you do that?

That hurt.

Aw, too bad, Derek.

Well, now you've got a picture of what happened on our first date.

This is our first date?

Of course, you know it is, Derek.

Well, I have work to do.

-So long. -See you later.

Well, let's see.

Boy, she sure is cute, and she's smart, too.

I wonder if she has a guy on Earth.

Say, maybe I could be the guy for her.

What is happening?

The radio signal we've been following to Iscandar has stopped.

It's been cut off.

It's cut off?

Switch the communication panel to the bridge.

I'm going to report to the deputy captain.

What's the problem? We know where Iscandar is now.

Starsha's signal has stopped now, but we still have the compass heading to go on.

I don't know.

Listen, we don't have any time to sit around waiting.

We've got to get there.

Two Iscandars showed up on the screen.

2, Wildstar.

What?

Eager, put the two planet images on the screen. -Yes, sir.

You're right, Venture.

Has Starsha ever said there was more than one Iscandar?

That's an important fact to leave out.

People say the more the merrier.

Hey.

Jamming waves, I'll bet.

Maybe that's why the radio signal was stopped.

Missiles approaching at 12 o'clock.

I count approximately 60 in number.

12 o'clock.

Then they're coming straight from Iscandar.

Wherever they're from, it's an attack.

You're in charge, Wildstar.

Main batteries, prepare for an attack.

All guns ready.

Direction SP-22.

RP-40.

Sight adjustment ready.

Battery number one, standby.

[Eager] Enemy missiles coming at us from four directions.

It looks like somebody kicked over a beehive.

They're going to hit us from everywhere.

All guns, prepare to fire.

Nova, go stay with Captain Avatar.

You should be on the bridge.

Wildstar is going to need everyone's help.

[Eager] Missiles approaching.

Contact time, 65 seconds.

Number 4, anti-missile guns ready to fire.

40 seconds to contact.

All guns, fire!

-A direct hit at port side. -Main battery number two's hit.

Orion, engine room, stop the engines!

Stop the ship! Stop the ship!

Hey, I'm in command here. You don't give the orders.

I'll apologize later when it's all over.

But right now, look at our navigation instruments.

They're going haywire.

We're completely helpless in a strange galaxy with no navigation aids.

The missiles have created some kind of metallic cloud that's affecting the instruments.

What are you thinking, Venture?

You think I made a mistake in trusting the message from Iscandar?

That after coming all this way, I've gotten us into a trap?

That I'm not capable of being Deputy Captain?

I didn't say that.

You might be right.

Conroy!

Yes, sir?

Get out there and pick up some missile fragments.

We've got to analyze them and find out where they came from.

I can't take off, Wildstar.

None of my instruments are working.

Forget the instruments.

Get the samples. Now!

Hmm...

Gamilons.

Are the Gamilons on Iscandar?

Starsha would have told us.

If she was able to.

Or she might be an ally of Gamilon.

Wildstar!

I can't believe Starsha would betray us.

But at the same time, it is a possibility.

Or she could be their captive.

But wait a minute.

There are two planets.

That's it.

One is Iscandar and one is Gamilon.

I'm sure of it.

All the time we've been traveling to Iscandar, we've also been heading right for Gamilon.

Leader Desslok, there's a call for you.

It's from Queen Starsha of Iscandar.

Well Starsha, I've been waiting to hear from you.

How long has it been since we've chatted?

It must be months at least.

How are you?

I wasn't sure I'd be able to reach you through all

the radio interference you've created around Iscandar.

If you've been so anxious to talk to me, you have a strange way of showing it.

[Desslok] You sound angry.

I am angry.

And what have I done this time?

I wish you'd call me when I'd done something to please you.

The only time I hear from you is when you want to complain.

You know, it's not very flattering, Starsha.

That's not nice.

You know what you've done.

You know how much I hate the way you've devastated Earth.

It is for the survival of both our planets, Starsha.

We share a common destiny.

We must find new homes for our people.

Yes, we are twin planets, and we are both doomed, but your solutions are all evil.

[Desslok] What are you doing to save Iscandar?

I am trying to find a new home, while you wait meekly for your doom.

This galaxy does not belong to the weak.

It is only the strong who will survive.

[Starsha] And that gives you the right to destroy Earth, slaughter all mankind with your planet bombs?

What difference does it make?

They're so uncivilized.

And what you're doing IS civilized?

Since when have bullies been civilized?

Starsha, you're being ridiculous.

That's not an answer, Desslok.

You interfered with my plans when

you offered Cosmo DNA to Earth

and encouraged the Starforce to

make the long and fruitless journey to Iscandar?

You don't wish to understand other people.

Why haven't you been able to stop the Starforce?

They have always defeated you.

Perhaps they have a strength you would never understand.

Yes, the Starforce has put up a good fight.

But the only battle that counts is the last one.

They haven't gotten to Iscandar yet.

Goodbye, Starsha.

[crowd chanting] Desslok... Desslok... Desslok...

This is an important day in the history of Gamilon.

The Starforce has arrived.

It is now on the edge of our galaxy.

I have plans to ensure its destruction.

[crowd cheering]

This is our present position.

We have known for some time that Gamilon is doomed.

We must find another home, and that home will be planet Earth.

We have searched for years to find another planet like our own, but we are unique.

As you see in this cross-section, Gamilon has an inner volcanic core and two outer shells.

The top one, a thin protective crust.

Gamilon was built by volcanic action, and now is being destroyed by these same volcanoes.

All our land and sea is being polluted by sulfur compounds contained in the lava.

The seas around the lava crust have become almost pure sulfuric acid.

They are deadly to us, but they will be even more deadly to the Starforce.

At the present time, the Starforce is trapped in a magnetic cloud, 5,000 megameters from Gamilon.

This cloud, created by our missiles, have made radar.

communication impossible, and also is causing all their navigation instruments to fail.

We will use our magnetic ray to pull the clouds, and the Starforce to Gamilon,

and into the sulfur sea.

Then by the use of the climate destabilizer, we will create a great rain of even more sulfuric acid.

And of course, our coastal guns will be busy.

With this array of Gamilon strength, we will crush the Starforce, and assure Gamilon's future.

[crowd cheering again]

I don't know what to make of this cloud.

Can it be Starsha's doing?

Can we trust her?

She could be an ally of Gamilon.

Derek! Starsha's calling from Iscandar.

What?

Starforce, you must realize our radio is jammed by Gamilon.

Our radio signal to guide you to Iscandar can't get through.

...but now you know where Iscandar is.

...and also where Gamilon is.

And as you've probably learned, Gamilon and Iscandar are twin planets,

but very different from each other.

Please be careful.

The Gamilons are determined to stop you.

Hurry to Iscandar. We are waiting for you.

Derek!

So that was it.

Venture?

I'm sorry I blew up at you before.

I guess the thought that the Starforce's mission might be hopeless was just...

Wildstar.

We're going to make it now.

You're still going to have to get past the Gamilons Wildstar.

You can do it. I know.

Yes.

What's that?

You'd better get to the bridge.

What is it now?

Losing power.

What's going on?

We're being pulled straight to Gamilon.

It's like a powerful magnet.

We can't get away from it.

It's this magnetic cloud we're in.

All hands clear the deck.

Battle positions.

It's no use.

We're out of control.

We are going to crash on Gamilon!

[Wildstar] All hands, brace for crash!

[Eager] Hey! We're going straight through that opening!

Splash down!

I need time to compute!

Okay, everybody. On your feet.

Welcome to Gamilon, everybody.

Take a look.

What a weird planet.

An underground sea.

First we've got to find out what kind of soup we're in.

IQ-9, analyze the Gamilon seawater.

Wait a minute, Derek.

We're getting IQ-9 back together again.

Get his head on right.

Heavy clouds are gathering. We're going to have a storm!

There you are, IQ-9.

We need an immediate analysis of the Gamilon seawater.

I trust you followed the diagram inside my back panel.

Now, I will compute.

Analysis is now complete and accurate, assuming Sandor reassembled me properly.

We are floating in a sulfuric acid sea.

What?

The ship will dissolve in this sulfuric acid sea.

Engine full throttle!

Ascend immediately!

Wildstar, that rainfall is pure sulfuric acid.

It just destroyed bridge number three.

Depth bombs are dropping on us!

The rear engines!

Wildstar, you must act NOW.

To wait is fatal.

The fate of the Starforce is in your hands.

And you must get to Iscandar and return to Earth

in 164 days, or all life on Earth will be extinct.
