Out of sight. This playing a gig in Lima is groovy.

And picking up new sounds in some remote Peruvian village...

...is going to be super groovy.

Okay, gang, let's split.

- Need a hand, Alexander? - Are you kidding, partner?

I didn't go to see 37 John Wayne movies for nothing.

Watch this.

Ride him, cowboy.

Something tells me, dear brother...

...you should have seen 38 John Wayne movies.

Ooh! Eeh! Oh!

I should have brought a pillow.

Ohh, this native-village trek is gonna be strictly nothingsville.

Oh, Alexandra, stop complaining.

I bet it'll be really exciting.

The mining is on schedule, Zor.

Excellent. Soon we'll be finished...

...and no one in the outside world will know we've been here.

Enough's enough.

We've been on this bump brigade for three hours...

...and haven't found one village.

Alexandra's right. Let's head back.

Okay, but which way is back?

That's back. Or is that back?

Well, my sixth sense tells me that back is that way.

I wouldn't give you two cents for your sixth sense.

We might as well go her way.

It's as good as any.

I take it back, sis.

I wouldn't give you one cent for your sixth sense.

So I didn't lead us back to Lima, but I found a village.

Yeah, but where is everybody?

- The place is deserted. - That's it.

Everybody went out for dessert.

Leave this village now.

You must not venture any farther...

...or the strange beings from another world will be angered.

Strange beings?

Another world?

He must mean from outer space.

Outer space? Somebody call the police.

Sounds silly to me.

I don't believe it.

Reow!

Space creeps? Ridiculous.

Reow!

- Hey! - Runaway llama.

We've gotta stop her.

Hurry, Cats. They're headed for that green glow.

It's about time you stopped.

No wonder. Look at the stop signs.

Outer space men.

You will follow us.

Uh-oh.

My ears are wiggling the danger sign.

I am Zor.

You earthlings have intruded on our mission.

Listen, Zop, I don't care what...

Shh! Do you wanna get us in trouble?

In our search for a special gem...

...we have traveled to your primitive world from our planet, Jupiter.

Jupiter?

I thought he was from outer space.

Our mission has been successful.

This mountain is rich in these stones you call diamonds.

They must be worth a fortune.

Congrats on your success, but we've gotta be going now.

Yes, earthlings, you do have to be going now.

But into the mines.

Zow!

Help. Help.

Whee!

That was some trip.

And some, ohh, landing.

No wonder the village was empty.

Everybody's down here.

They're being forced to work in Zor's diamond mine.

And you will join them.

Start digging at once.

Listen, buster, I'm not lifting one little pinkie...

...let alone a stupid pick.

You will dig.

Or else.

I dig, man.

I dig. I dig.

Alex, watch out.

Hey, put me down.

How do they expect me to dig diamonds with this silly shovel?

I've about had it with this mining bit.

Why don't we get the villagers' help and jump the guards?

Yeah. We outnumber those outer space creeps 10-to-1.

Good idea. Let's ask them.

So, what do you say? Will you join us?

No, we must do as Zor says...

...or our village will be destroyed from above.

Destroyed from above?

What do you mean?

All was peaceful before Zor.

Then one night, the great thing appeared in the sky...

-...and a voice like many thunders say:-

-Obey Zor or your village and everyone in it will be destroyed.-

-So we obey.-

At first, I thought these outer space creeps weren't for real.

Now I'm not so sure.

What is going on?

Just picking up a few diamond-mining tips.

Well, get busy, all of you.

Soon I'll be the richest man on earth...

...thanks to those superstitious villagers who think we come from another world.

Yeah, we really got them fooled.

It's almost dark.

Project the image on the clouds.

Our miners will soon be returning to the village.

It must be quitting time.

Well, what are we waiting for?

Yeah, let's split.

No leaving for you.

You stay.

Keep digging.

Golly, they must really dig our digging.

That does it.

I'm getting out of this diamond dump.

I'm with you, but how?

Those barrels. Let's dig our way over to them.

Good idea.

This should be fun.

Okay, Cats. Let's roll out the barrels.

Hey, watch where you're going, you furry beanbag.

The prisoners. Yikes!

Yikes!

Stop those barrels.

After them.

Whee!

There they are.

We have them now.

- They're gone. - A trick.

They must have taken another tunnel.

- We ditched them. - That was close. Whew.

Yeow!

Nice going, dummy brother.

The biggest danger isn't those space creeps...

...it's you.

Since we can't go out the front way...

...I'll lead us out the back way.

Uh-oh. It looks like the back way is a dead end.

Wow, look at the size of those firecrackers.

Firecrackers nothing.

That's dynamite.

It's used to blast out more tunnels.

Oh, goody. Ha-ha-ha!

Let's all sit down and wait for a tunnel.

No, Melody, not there.

What happened?

Melody sat on the dynamite plunger.

Look, guys. She blasted a way out for us.

It's a spaceship, all right.

I've seen dozens of them in the movies.

Well, I'd like to get a closer look at that one.

I know just the way.

There, Alan, your way to the sky is ready to fly.

I knew I could count on you, Val.

You guys are cuckoo.

We should be running instead of flying kites.

Here, Josie, hold the kite while I strap myself on.

Move over, Josie Posie.

I'll hold the kite for Alan.

Hey!

Oh, no, the wind took Alexandra up.

Alexandra, come back here with my kite.

Yeow!

Somebody get me down.

- When she flies through, grab her. - Gotcha.

Don't worry, sis, I'll catch you.

Where did she go? Where did she go?

Help!

Yeah, help!

That was a silly thing to do.

Help!

Yeow!

What's all that racket?

Turn on the searchlight, quickly.

That searchlight. They'll be spotted.

Not if we can duck them behind a cloud in time.

All together now. Pull.

We're going to crash into the spacecraft.

Oh! Help!

Nothing's up there.

It was probably just some wild birds.

Very well, cut the light.

Well, what do you know, we didn't crash.

Naturally not, brother dear.

This spaceship's not real.

It's just an image projected on a cloud.

So if that spacecraft is just a phony...

...then Zor and his creeps must be phonies too.

And I'll bet they're not even from Jupiter. Ha-ha-ha!

They'll wish they were on Jupiter when I get through with them.

Cool it, Alexandra.

There's a better way.

You have a plan, Alan?

You'd better believe it.

I was afraid he'd say that.

Alex, Melody and Valerie will go to the village...

...tell the Indians about this hoax and get their help.

The rest of us will visit the spacecraft and discombooberate that image projector.

Fools. You let those kids escape from the mines.

They must be miles away by now.

This must be the projector.

No kidding.

I thought it was the washing machine.

I wonder how the others are doing down at the village.

So after I took care of Zor's creeps...

...I discovered that the thing in the sky is just a picture on the cloud.

So you see, Zor is just a fake...

...and with your help, we can put his gang in jail.

If you can rid us of that terrible thing in the sky...

...we will help you.

It's a deal.

Everybody, watch. Ha-ha.

It should go away any minute now.

I've found it, Alan.

Here's the slide of that spacecraft, the one that was projected on the clouds.

Groovy going, Josie.

Now that the image is gone, the villagers have nothing to be afraid of.

Hm. Josie's not going to get all the credit.

Watch this, Alan, dear.

I'll make some handsies just to show those villagers...

...it's all a lot of bunk.

Look, giant creature more terrible than other thing.

Oh, lookie, a cute space bunny.

Now thing in sky change shape.

What...? What went wrong?

Offhand, I'd say Alexandra.

Thing in sky very angry, but we make it happy again...

...by giving young meddlers back to Zor.

Back to Zor?

I think we blew it.

Thanks to me, I'll bet the rest of the gang...

...is heading this way with help.

Help!

Did you see the young strangers?

Yes, they went thataway. Hee-hee-hee.

They went thataway.

Huh?

If Zor knew we've botched his scheme...

...he'd be mad as a hornet.

Yeah, I'd like to see the look on his face when he finds out.

Then turn around and face the consequences.

- It's Zor. - So what?

What can Zonk do to us?

Well, that answers that.

It sure does.

He's gonna make waffles out of us.

What a way to go.

Yeah, without butter and syrup.

Don't shoot. I give up.

Cool it, Alex. It's only Sebastian.

I knew it all along.

Sebastian, what happened to the others?

Ohh. They're being tickled. Ha-ha-ha!

That's not what he meant.

Hurry, Sebastian, take us to them.

Isn't it about time the cavalry showed up to rescue us?

- Will we do? - You know it.

Well, don't just stand there.

Turn off this waffle machine.

One of those buttons should do it.

You're right, Val. But which one?

Here, Melody. Make like a drummer...

...and try them all. - Okay.

Eat your heart out, Ringo.

Great, Melody. You did it.

That's nothing.

Watch what I do with this last button.

Wow, what a groovy sound.

Ha-ha-ha! Oh.

You mean dopey, you ding-dong. That's the alarm.

Quite right.

And this time, you're all finished.

Don't bet on that, Zook.

Okay, gang, let's split.

Shh.

Let me down or I'll destroy you.

Sounds like Zor is sore.

He's not sore. He's just full of hot air. Ha-ha-ha!

Thanks to you young people, Zor's plan for power has failed.

And with these diamonds, our poor village will prosper.

Think nothing of it, chief.

It was all in a day's work.

Oh, brother, what a brother.

And to celebrate, our village will give a feast in your honor.

- A feast for us? - Oh, groovy.

I love feasts.

Especially with mustard. Ha-ha-ha!

Josie make beautiful music.

As you say, groovy.

More like superduper groovy.

Ha. With this old Indian music I found...

...I'll show Alan who's superduper groovy.

- May I? - Be my guest, Alexandra.

What now?

With Alexandra, who knows?

Attention, everybody.

For the main attraction, I will play an ancient Indian melody.

Quick, run for shelter.

Hey, my number isn't over yet.

Why is everybody leaving?

We just didn't wanna get wet.

Wouldn't you know, I had to find a rain dance.

Oohh...

The prospect of meeting the perfect woman is fascinating:

Genetically speaking, Miss Cosmos is the perfect example: : :

Of the female human in this quadrant:

Buck finds danger and romance on a -Cruise Ship to the Stars': :

And meets a beautiful and deadly woman with two faces:

Whoever wants Miss Cosmos will stop at nothing to get her:

They can freeze her body tissue and sell it on the black market across the universe:

Hello, Buck Rogers:

The year is 1987,

and NASA launches the last of America's deep space probes:

In a freak mishap, Ranger 3 and its pilot, Captain William -Buck'-Rogers,

are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit which freezes his life-support systems: : :

And returns Buck Rogers to Earth: : :

500 years later:

You called me, and I came immediately, Miss Cosmos:

- Your message sounded urgent: - Thank you, Captain:

I realize that being so far from my home planet creates its own anxieties,

but since I've been aboard your cruiser, the Lyran Queen,

I sense that someone has been watching me:

Well, that's very regrettable, Miss Cosmos:

But this is, after all, simply a leisure ship:

We have no special safeguards for our passengers,

no matter how valuable they may be:

I just wanted you to know my concern:

Uh, your quarters, you find them comfortable? More forest scent, perhaps?

Everything's fine, Captain: I'm enjoying the cruise immensely:

And we enjoy having you on the cruise, Miss Cosmos:

It isn't often we have a passenger who's so...

Promotable?

You'll be sitting at my table for dinner:

- Thank you: - Now, if you'll excuse me,

- I'll see you at 1800 hours: - Captain:

Deploy a security unit to the stateroom area at once!

All right, Wilma: I'll see your 20 credits and raise you 10 credits:

Well, it's a very unusual game:

Where did you get these... Cards:

Twiki made 'em for me: I thought you'd enjoy it:

Well, I think that I'll, uh, spindle?

- Fold: - Fold:

Well, Wilma, how about you?

I could be here another 500 years at this rate:

- Fold: - All right:

Well, that leaves old lucky Buck with: : : Three... count 'em... three nines:

- Not so fast, bub: - What do you got, Twiki?

Five pictorial units of the same subset, presented sequentially:

- A royal flush:

Come to Papa:

- It's like losing to a typewriter: - Watch it, bub:

Well, how about something to eat?

Nice idea: Yeah:

Tell me, Dr: Huer, what was all the commotion this afternoon at the Comm Center?

Something about a Lyran Queen?

Oh, yes: The, uh, luxury liner, the Lyran Queen, took off from here two days ago: : :

With a highly publicized passenger aboard, Miss Cosmos:

Miss Cosmos? A beauty pageant winner?

Don't tell me you people still go in that sort of thing:

Beauty contests are much more sophisticated than they used to be:

It's what's inside that counts:

Literally: Hmm:

Oh, yes, indeed: Genetically speaking, Miss Cosmos is closer than anyone: : :

To the perfect example of the female human in this quadrant:

Well, what do Miss Cosmos and the Lyran Queen: : :

Have to do with your job, Dr: Huer?

Oh, well, someone tried to rob or kidnap her yesterday:

A woman, actually, with extraordinary powers:

We haven't as yet been able to establish a positive identification of the suspect,

but we believe it to be one of a pair of notorious thieves,

which up to now have specialized in inanimate objects of great value: : :

But now have turned to...

- Bodies: - Bodies: Exactly:

And in this particular case, a body of staggering genetic value:

So, under the circumstances, the stellar authorities have asked for our help: : :

Because their agents are too well-known:

Huh: Would you like for me to intercept that cruise ship: : :

And look after Miss Cosmos for you?

Well, that would be very good of you, Buck:

I mean, after all, the prospect of meeting the perfect woman is fascinating:

Yes, I would think so: Well, you'll be in charge: : :

Of general security, of course:

The mere fact that you are not one of our agents makes you less suspect:

Wilma, I'm gonna need your help:

How could I refuse?

I warn you: I play a very mean game of shuffleboard:

- Huh? - Shuffleboard?

Well, another tribal custom bites the dust:

Will arriving passenger Buck Rogers please report to the bridge immediately?

The energy from that creature is tremendous:

Are you sure this device of yours can stop her?

Theo assures me it will:

The device'll put out a curtain of coruscating light strong enough to stop a bull elephant:

But you must understand, Captain Rogers,

that whoever wants Miss Cosmos will stop at nothing to get her:

They're after her genes: They can freeze her body tissue: : :

And sell it on the black market across the universe at a staggering profit:

I can understand your concern, Captain:

I'll do everything I can to keep her alive:

Now, shall we go in and meet Miss Cosmos?

Miss Cosmos, this is Captain Buck Rogers:

I'm sure you've seen a vid-story or two on him:

He's from the... Twentieth century: Of course:

A pleasure to meet you, Captain: Buck: The pleasure's mine, Miss Cosmos:

Call me Tara: Captain Rogers has volunteered: : :

On behalf of the Earth Defense Directorate to see to your safety, Miss Cosmos:

Thank you: I'm sure you're in capable hands now:

Well, if you'll excuse me, I have a ship to see to:

I'll leave you two: : : Alone:

Gammon, Marek, why don't you accompany the captain?

You did say you wanted a tour of the ship, didn't you?

Can I get you something to drink, Buck? No, thanks: It's a little early for me yet:

May I?

Very nice:

Been painting long?

Oh, you'll have to excuse me for staring:

I've never met a 500-year-old man before:

That's all right: I've never met a genetically perfect woman before either:

Mmm:

Think of the permutations:

I'd love to think of the permutations:

Maybe later, after we're sure the danger's over:

Come in:

Hi:

Ready for lunch? Almost:

Jay, what are we gonna do on this huge ship for three weeks?

Exactly what we have been doing... enjoying ourselves,

mixing with the other passengers, meeting new people:

You've seen how bad I am at doing that:

Alison, this trip wasn't my idea: It was the neuromed's:

All she said was I needed a rest:

Couldn't I have rested just as well in New Chicago?

Oh, Jay, I'm sorry:

It's just that I'm always so scared to try new things:

Why do you stay with me anyway?

Because I love you:

Now, I'll meet you up at our table in 10 minutes:

We're going to eat, and we're going to have fun:

This is your captain speaking:

Now that all our passengers are aboard, we're accelerating to light speed: : :

For a slow, leisurely cruise to Stargate 1:

After leaving the Stargate, we'll enter the Vega system,

where we'll make our first stop on Sutter's World, Yes: How do you do?

A planet renowned for its fair climate,

colorful indigents and remarkable hospitality:

Wilma's looking real foxy:

Hold it right there:

You are everything I've ever wanted out of life:

And couldn't have: Hold on: Hold on:

I'm, uh... I'm Gurney Langston, Jr: I'm from the Boston complex:

Rhea Durant, New Manhattan:

The Durants of Manhattan?

This is remarkable! Your family owns Rigel 2:

My family owns Rigel 3: We're practically neighbors:

Now, look, we must have dinner tonight:

Buck, I don't understand what Colonel Deering is up to:

[Buck] Wilma is setting herself up as a target no self-respecting thief: :

Or kidnapper can pass up:

Well, Theo, when you put out the honey, you draw as many flies as you do bees sometimes:

I wish you would refrain from using such antiquated verbiage, Buck:

It makes it so difficult to follow you sometimes:

Something from the bar, sir?

Hold the phone:

- Nothing for me, thanks:

Twiki? Twiki, where are you going?

Don't ask:

Well, it looks as if Miss Cosmos is packing it in for the day:

I'll give her five minutes, then I'll start patrolling the stateroom areas:

There will be a lecture tonight on the origins of Sutter's World: : :

In Observation Room 3 on Level -J-

Excuse me: Are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine:

No offense, but you don't look fine: I'm all right, really:

I'm very sorry to bother you:

That's okay: My name's Buck Rogers:

Alison Michaels: Thanks, Buck: Don't mention it:

I hope you don't mind my asking, but have you been ill?

Well, um, Jay...

That's my boyfriend:

He took me to a neuromed in New Chicago:

She found nothing really wrong, just hypertension:

She suggested a rest, and that's why I came on this cruise:

But it doesn't seem to be working: You'll be fine:

Come on: I'll help you back to your cabin:

Alison, are you all right? Oh, Jay, it happened again:

I went to sleep, and when I woke up, I found myself wandering around:

Oh, honey, honey, you've just got to relax:

Oh: This is Buck Rogers:

He helped me back here: Buck, this is Jalor Davin:

- I appreciate your help, Buck: - It's my pleasure:

Why don't I have the ship's doctor come by and take a look at you?

We've been to the best neuromeds in New Chicago:

I doubt a ship's doctor could tell us anything we don't already know:

But thanks again, Buck:

Sure: Sure: Well, take care of yourself, all right?

Maybe we'll see you tonight at the banquet?

Yeah: I'll drop by your table:

- Bye-bye: - Bye, Buck:

I don't like him:

You don't like any of my friends:

Why do you do this to me? Do what?

Treat me like a child, like I can't take care of myself:

Alison, you're sick:

I'm just trying to look after you:

I'm not sick!

Yes, you are: You're very sick, Alison:

I'm not! I'm not sick!

Stupid, weak, sniveling little creature:

How do you put up with her?

I like part of her:

My part, you mean?

I take it something happened down in the stateroom area:

Somebody installed some kind of energy curtain down there:

The closer I got to it, the more it drained my power:

L: : : Can't get pass it:

I'll take care of it when Miss Cosmos is at dinner:

Good:

Then, after dinner, I'm going after those Denebian moon crystals:

The woman from New Manhattan? That's right:

Why do we go through this every time you see a pretty jewel?

We're here for Miss Cosmos, Sabrina: I want them:

Go after all the Denebian moon crystals you want: : : Another time:

Right now, just concentrate on Miss Cosmos:

No! We'll do it my way:

I want them, and I'm going to get them:

All right:

Just let me check her out, and we'll see about relieving Miss Rhea Durant: : :

Of her walking jewelry collection:

Dinner's in 20 minutes: I need Alison again:

No! Not so soon!

Someday you'll take her over completely, but for now...

I hate her! I hate her:

I hate her: I hate her:

I hate her:

Hurry up, honey:

We'll be late for the banquet:

This is comfortable enough, Twiki, but I think we might have updated it a little more:

It's the latest fashion on Klosef 3:

- How am I supposed to eat with this thing? - Just point it at the food, Buck,

and activate the switch at the base of the fork:

A null-gravity fork, the latest word in dining accoutrements:

It's great if you like your food on the hoof:

Where's your girlfriend, Twiki? I thought you two had a date:

- She gets off work at 10:00: - What's her name again?

Her name is Tina, and I think her interest in Twiki is purely physical:

- Physical? - You'd better believe it:

- Physical, huh?

Okay, Twiki: I'm gonna give you your first assignment:

I want you to contact Wilma and tell her to meet me in my cabin at 2200 hours:

All right? No problem, Buck:

Hiya, Twiki: Hiya, babe:

Tina, this is Buck:

Pleased to meet you: Charmed, I'm sure:

Are you hot to trot? Ready when you are:

Twiki, are you actually going down to the dance chamber?

Right after I see Wilma:

Now I've seen everything:

Excuse me, Theo: I've got some business to attend to:

Why, yes: By all means, Buck:

But before you go, would you please turn me 60 degrees to the left?

Sure:

- How's that? - Perfect:

My circuitry periodically needs such realigning:

Sure, Theo:

I hate to say it, but now I don't feel very well:

I'm gonna lie down for a while:

- You just stay here: - Not by myself:

Hello, everybody: Leaving so soon?

I seem to have developed a headache:

Oh: Do you mind if I keep Alison company why you go take something for it?

Fine:

Alison, I'll see you back at your cabin:

I'll be up as soon as I'm finished:

- Please sit down: - Thank you:

How's everything going? It's none of your concern:

You're getting paid to do a job and mind your business:

It's my neck if you get caught:

All they have to do is make a simple life scan of the ship and they'll find her:

All you have to do is make sure everything operates normally:

That's what you're being paid for:

We're going to install an antispectrometer:

Their scanners will be useless: They'll never know anyone was in here:

What happens when you leave?

You're not gonna be able to simply walk off the ship with Miss Cosmos under your arm:

That's exactly what we're going to do:

You and Jay seem to have a nice thing going:

How long have you known each other? Almost a year:

Yeah? How'd you meet?

I don't know: How does anybody meet anybody?

We met at a bar: I've forgotten exactly where:

I've been so many places:

But he's very good to me:

He's strong: I like that in a man:

Are you enjoying the cruise? Honestly?

Yeah: No:

Uh-uh: Come on: Eat: Eat:

That stuff is good for you: Or so they tell me:

You're joking: I haven't heard that...

Alison, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine:

- You were saying? - Oh, my parents died when I was little:

My mother used to always tell me to finish my food:

I just haven't heard that in a long time:

I'm sorry: I didn't mean to say anything to upset you:

Oh, no, you didn't: I don't know how we got on it in the first place:

She's a very attractive lady, isn't she?

Yes: She's absolutely gorgeous:

The formal dining room will be available for seating after 1830 hours:

Repeat, the formal dining room will be available for seating after 1830 hours:

Electromag sensor programmed for only a few specific patterns, no doubt:

As soon as I recover from whatever it is I have, I'd like to see New Phoenix:

Maybe even move there permanently:

Alison, I'm really sorry, but I've gotta go:

I just remembered something: That's okay:

- Maybe we can talk again sometime: - Sure: Sure:

Pleasejoin us for cocktails in the Astro Lounge, located on -F-Deck:

Pleasejoin us for cocktails in the Astro Lounge, located on -F-Deck:

Here we go:

Hold it, fella:! What's your security code? What do you think you're doing?

And you still have no idea who's responsible for the attempts on the beauty queen?

No, but I think your pair of super thieves are involved:

- How do you mean? - The captain told me: : :

Of an encounter with a superstrong woman: : :

Having psychokinetic powers:

I think we're gonna have to come up with some heavy-duty defenses against her:

What did you have in mind? Just to be on the safe side,

I'd like you to send me a few sonic pistols on the next cargo run,

and some earplugs:

I'll send them up as soon as possible:

You know, Buck, I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you're doing:

I realize that it must be difficult, you know,

working so hard when others all around you are enjoying themselves:

Well, if living my life vicariously through Twiki counts, I'm enjoying myself:

- Twiki? - Yeah, you remember him? The little silver guy?

I'm afraid he's developed a very active libido:

That sounds like I should have a talk with his programmers:

That's not a bad idea:

I'm afraid it's a little too late for that:

If I were you, I'd prepare for the patter of little metal feet:

- The what? I beg your pardon? - Never mind: I'd better sign off:

If I come up with anything, I'll get back to you: Rogers out:

-Little metal feet-?

What a good dancer you are, Twiki:

Buck taught me all I know:

They call this one the bump:

Uh-oh:

I've never seen a dance like that before, Twiki:

I'll take those jewels you're wearing, if you don't mind:

Actually, I do:

Denebian moon crystals:

For an impostor, you have very good taste:

You see, to become good at this, which I have,

one must always be sure of one's intended victim:

There's a Rhea Durant in New Manhattan, all right,

but she's very reclusive:

She's also: : : 82 years old:

Make your reservations now for the sightseeing shuttle: : :

With your ambu-quad relations director:

Wilma!

The Denebian crystals your attacker stole: : :

Have a highly distinctive molecular structure:

Buck's monitor should be able to pinpoint their location: : :

And, therefore, the location of our unusual thief:

Except I'm not getting any reading on this thing:

Let me see:

Oh, dear: This is unfortunate:

There seems to be some interference, something jamming the signals:

Could it have something to do with the woman herself?

She was physically powerful, and she was able to fire those blasts of energy:

Which probably means she's some kind of mutant,

in which case she'd have to give off a tremendous energy field:

Strong enough to block our tracer:

That, unfortunately, seems all too likely, Buck:

Wilma, if that woman is a mutant,

who's to say she doesn't carry some kind of protective coloring, like a chameleon?

If that's true, if she can become anyone she wants to, how are we gonna find her?

No, no, no, no, no: Wait a minute:

Suppose instead of being one person, she's two?

- Buck, that doesn't make sense: - I think it will later:

There's someone I wanna do some more checking on:

Hiya, Twiki: Buck:

Hi, guys:

What's the matter, Twiki? It's only 0300 hours:

I'm bushed:

Just a minute, Twiki: If you think you're going to retire for the evening: : :

Without hearing from me, you are quite incorrect:

Your behavior ever since you set foot on this ship has been abominable:

Twiki? Twiki? Twiki?

Twiki:!

This is your captain speaking: It's 0900 hours:

Breakfast is now being served on the observation deck,

where you'll be treated to a spectacular view of William's Comet:

Something you won't want to miss:

Yes? It's me, Buck Rogers:

Come in: Hi:

You're not going to breakfast?

No: But I'm glad you dropped by:

I don't know who else to turn to:

- I think I'm going insane: - No: Now, I doubt that:

No: I am:

I used to just get tired and have these dizzy spells, but now: : :

I'm having nightmares with my eyes open!

And it's like I'm hurting people!

Buck, I have never wanted to hurt anybody in my life,

and maybe that's why people have wanted to take advantage of me!

- But I'm scared: - Tell me about these nightmares:

- I don't want to think about it: - Please try:

- No: - Okay: All right:

Take it easy: Come on over here:

Come over here and sit down: All right?

Now, I think I may know what's wrong with you:

I'd like to try to help: You promise me you'll stay right here,

let me go get a friend of mine?

A doctor? Well, sort of:

Trust me: All right:

No! No! Please!

No doctor for me, Buck Rogers:

Hello, Buck Rogers:

My name is Sabrina:

I wouldn't if I were you, Captain:

Now, Buck, if you'll take care of the light curtain, we'll get on with this:

And do it quietly:

Miss Cosmos chose to dine inside her room this morning:

Forget it, Sabrina:

I suggest you think about the welfare of your friend:

What friend? The brunette with the fancy jewelry:

The one who tried to trap me:

The one I nearly killed last night:

I don't know what you're talking about: Fine:

Then I guess you won't mind when they find Rhea Durant dead later today:

Kill her:

Wait!

All right:

If anything happens to me, you first,

and then your friend will die:

- Thanks, Buck: - Don't mention it:

Let's get her:

This is what you people were supposed to prevent: Miss Cosmos is gone!

Issue an order that no vessel is to leave the hangar bay area until it's thoroughly searched:

But there are shuttle vessels arriving every day:

So, all of them will undergo a mandatory life-form scan before leaving:

That will make the pilots suspicious: They'll ask questions, spread rumors:

Captain, will you stop worrying about bad publicity? This woman's in grave danger:

Yes, of course:

Let me go: Where am I? Where's Buck?

Call for him: He won't come:

- Sweet dreams: - What's gonna happen when it's over?

Not a drop of precious blood will be spilled:

Microtomic lasers are neat and tidy:

The antispectrometer... Put it over there, just by the door:

- I know where it goes: - What is that thing?

Something that will fool any scanner they might use to try and find her:

- Let's get on with it:

That's all we can do for now: The laser will draw power from the ship very slowly: : :

So that the monitors will not detect:

When it peaks, the laser will be in full effect:

Its blade will start dissecting her quite automatically:

Sleep well, dear:

We have a big day tomorrow:

You'll have the other half of my payment tomorrow morning?

I told you: When we leave: I want it sooner!

I don't want to be around... All right: Fine:

We'll pay you tomorrow morning: Then you can leave:

Okay:

We'll have to kill him too:

Come on:

No! Go away! Oh, no, not now:

Leave me alone!

I wanna stay!

Oh, Alison: Alison, I've been looking all over for you:

You poor thing: You're ill: That's all:

Yes, I am: I'm sick, and I need help:

I want help, and I'm not getting it on board this ship!

We dock at Sutter's World in three days:

We can catch a cruiser back to Earth from there:

No! I'm going to New Chicago tomorrow,

with you or without you, Jay:

Whatever it is that happens to me, I'm no longer gonna let it run my life!

What you are suggesting, Buck,

is that Alison Michaels is a transmute... a split personality...

with the genetic ability to transform itself in times of stress: : :

Into one of two or more separate entities:

All we have is a theory: We can't act without evidence:

- Then what we have to do is capture her as Sabrina: - Oh: Yeah:

Dr: Theopolis, the light curtain in the stateroom, can it be intensified?

Why, yes: Easily:

Mail call:

Ah: Thank you, Twiki:

What is that? This just came through the shuttle bay:

Sonic pistols, plus earplugs to protect the persons using them:

Now, I'm gonna tell you how we're gonna beat Sabrina and bring Alison to her senses:

You mind if I cut in?

My, is that a promise or a threat?

Take your choice: Oh, yeah? Hmm:

Listen, I just checked: They have a policy: : :

Against letting passengers leave the ship except at authorized stops:

I'm sure they make exceptions for medical emergencies:

You don't really want to make a scene, do you?

I want to get well!

Let's go:

Hi, Alison: Hello, Buck:

- Mind if we join you? - As a matter of fact...

Please do:

Tina, drinks for everybody, on me:

Right away, Buck:

Well, nothing like a little chat among friends, is there?

Depends on the subject:

Let's try the past: Yours, specifically:

I made some inquiries today:

I found out about your conviction for selling stolen property:

- Come on, Alison: Let's get out of here: - No, I want to hear this:

Your boyfriend's just using you, Alison:

He doesn't care anything about you, only what you can steal for him: : :

Through someone you become:

The blackouts?

I turn into someone terrible, don't I, Jay?

Someone cruel:

Someone who steals for you:

Alison, don't get yourself excited: Why? Are you afraid of her?

Maybe I ought to let her show you what I think of you:

Would you like that? Would you?

Yes, Jay: Let me show you:

Let me show all of you:

Little Alison was right about one thing:

She doesn't need you:

- She doesn't need anybody:

All right: Let's get to our posts:

Far out!

No!

No! Please:

I don't want to go back:

Don't make me:

I won't go:

- Alison? Alison, can you hear me?

Alison!

- Are you all right? - I think so:

Good: Can you tell me where Miss Cosmos is?

Can you remember where Miss Cosmos is?

I can't:

Alison, try:

She's in the disposal room on Level -B-

Take good care of her, Wilma:

That was a little close for comfort, Tara:

Oh, Buck!

Alison Michaels just checked into the Directorate Clinic for psych scans,

but all preliminary reports indicate she'll be just fine:

Just a modicum of therapy and all of Sabrina's powers should be gone forever:

And by the way, Alison says thank you, Buck: Tell her it was my pleasure:

Is there any word on Jalor Davin and his accomplice from the ship?

Oh, yes: They were picked up by Directorate Police:

How's Miss Cosmos after her ordeal? Quite all right, Dr: Huer:

That's good: I'm glad to hear it: I owe Buck my life:

I'll never be able to repay him: Oh, we'll work something out:

Well, Buck, I imagine you and Colonel Deering: : :

Should be anxious to get back to Earth:

Oh, yeah: Right: Right: You bet:

I'd like you to catch the next shuttle back:

Uh, what was that, Dr: Huer?

- I said... - Dr: Huer, there's an awful lot of subspace static today:

- You're gonna have to speak up: - Buck? Colonel Deering?

Come in, Dr: Huer: Dr: Huer, can you hear me?

- Can you hear me?

I guess not: Now, how about dinner?

Now we can get it on

I've come for you

- I'll kill them all to get you - No!

A space-age vampire stalks a lonely space station,

and Buck must race to prevent Wilma from joining the ranks of the undead

You stand between me and something I want

- You were attacked by corpses

Something somewhere is draining their souls

- Wilma - It felt so good

Wilma, no!

The year is 1987,

and NASA launches the last of America's deep space probes

In a freak mishap, Ranger 3 and its pilot, Captain William Buck Rogers,

are blown out of their trajectory into an orbit which freezes his life-support systems

And returns Buck Rogers to Earth

500 years later

Leaving stargate

Destination on screen

Punching in coordinates: Engaging autopilot

- And that's it - That's it

I tell you, Wilma: You ought to get one of these for yourself

Well, it's one thing to get one: It's another to have time to enjoy it:

What about the controls in the shuttle compartment?

They're exactly identical to these

- You see, you're learning to fly two ships for the price of one - Yeah

Coming up on Theta Station: Prepare for docking

Oh, thank goodness

I heard that

Twiki, are you still upset because you're not going to visit Genesia with us?

Who, me?

After all, Twiki, the last time you and Hieronymus Fox got together,

he almost punched out your capacitors

Kid can't take a joke

Besides, you really need to get that faulty microdisc of yours repaired,

and Theta Station is the best compufacturing facility in the quadrant

Yeah, you don't want to go blowing a tube next time you're out boogie-ing with your girlfriend Tina, do you?

Gimme a break, will ya?

Uh-oh: Whoops!

Whee!

So, I finally get to meet the Buck Rogers

Wilma has told me so much about you, I feel like I've known you for centuries

- Yes, well, she's warned me about you as well - Oh?

How are you, Commander Royko?

I'm good It's nice to see you again, Wilma

Oh, uh, this is our ambu-quad, Twiki

You'll be working on him while we're gone

Give me five, my man

Yes, of course

Be cool, big daddy

He's not exactly your average ambu-quad, is he?

- No, he isn't - Hmm

How long did Dr: Huer say he'd be with us?

Five days That should be more than enough time to repair that faulty disc

Uh, actually, I think I could get it done right now

- Then you wouldn't have to leave him here - No: We wouldn't want to rush it

Besides, who knows? We may get tired of Genesia...

all that luxury and entertainment... and we might just come back for him early

You know what -fat chance- means, bub?

Commander?

Repeat: Station to craft Do you read?

- How long have you been tracking it? - Since it left the stargate, sir

The computer can't identify it, and I can't seem to raise it on subspace

You better keep trying, because if it doesn't change course, it's gonna hit us

Theta Station to approaching craft Do you read?

Station to craft Come in, please!

You are on a collision course with Theta Station

Modify your course and acknowledge

Approaching craft, please acknowledge!

It's no use It's gonna hit

Divert as much power as possible to the meteor deflectors in Sectors -G- -H- and -l-

Secure the sectors

Alert:! Alert:! Collision imminent!

Evacuate Sectors -G- -H- -l-

Collision imminent Alert:! Alert! Collision imminent

Alert:! Alert! Stand by for impact

All code red units move to Sector -H- with emergency equipment

Emergency: Emergency: Code red units report to Sector -H-

It's embedded itself right into the station

Fortunately, our exterior hull has a self-repairing core,

so we're in no danger of losing our atmosphere to space

However, internal atmospheric integrity has been lost

Which means the air from that ship...

wherever it came from, whatever it's carrying... is mixing with ours

The damage has been done All we can do is assess it

- Need any help, Commander? - All I can get

You've got it

Doc, what about casualties? None

This sector was cleared just in time

- Dr: Ecbar, Colonel Wilma Deering, Captain Buck Rogers: - Hello, Doc

Scanners show any life-forms aboard?

I can't be sure of my readings Could be some form of magnetic field interfering

Sounds like the best thing we can do is go down and take a look

Commander, if you're afraid of contamination, we've already been exposed

- We have nothing to lose by going inside - You're right, of course

Put this on

Twiki, you wait here till we get back, all right?

You don't have to tell me twice

Class -G- cargo freighter

About 20, 30 years old, from the look of it

This looks like it must be the crew's quarters

The bridge must be above us and to the right

Hold it

Servo drone: - We'll pick it up later

Let's go

Technically, the hull seems to be secure

Here we go:

Doc, number one

Here's number two!

Doc, you better take a look at this

Well, we found number three

I think it's more like number nine: I found a whole sick bay full of bodies back there

You think some kind of disease is responsible for this?

I'm gonna have to declare a quarantine

Until we find out exactly what it is we're dealing with here, no one leaves or enters the station

I'm sorry, Buck, Wilma: We understand

Well, from the looks of things, she was the last to go

Maybe this will tell us what happened here

This is the log of the l: S: Demeter, bound for Tazwell

With eight crew, one passenger,

returning from Deneb 5, having delivered a shipment ofbarbarite

Log update: 52 hours from Stargate 9

The passenger, Helson, has been found dead in his quarters

Cause of death unknown:

His servo drone, some sort of personal data storage unit,

was found beside him, deactivated

Update

Thirty-seven hours from Stargate 9 Now three crew members are dead

Cause unknown

The rest of the crew is tense, irritable

We're experiencing some power shortages in some areas of the ship

Twenty-four hours from Stargate Two more dead

After exhibiting bizarre behavior

And suffering hallucinations

The paramed thinks the deaths are due to EL-7,

although I'm certain we decontaminated properly when we left Deneb 5

Seventeen hours from Stargate The paramed's dead

There are only two of us left, and we've got to stick together

I've set the autopilot for Stargate 9

It's the only thing we can do

Pearson is dead: And now it's after me

And it's coming!

Stay away! Please:

Who are you?

No! Please, no!

What is EL-7?

Virus

It was rampant in the Deneb system till they discovered a vaccine

It's highly contagious and works fast

Fever, mental deterioration, hallucinations,

convulsions, death

She wasn't hallucinating

- She was terrified: - What do you say, Doc?

- I'm sorry: - Do you think it is EL-7?

I can't tell without running more tests

But we'd best assume the worst

I have serum here to counteract the virus, but I'll need more

If it's not already too late

Start inoculating with what you got, Doc

I'm gonna contact Earth for more serum

Hey

Wilma, you okay?

Mm-hmm: Fine

Why don't you go down to the lounge and get something to eat

I'll join you there later, all right?

Sure

Uh... Um...

Twiki, go pick up that servo drone and take it back to my cabin

See if you can get it working again

Maybe it can tell us something about what went on on the Demeter

I better start the inoculations: Doc, wait

You aren't telling us everything, are you?

It sounds... What? Crazy?

Look, Doc: You're not hallucinating: No virus works that fast, and you know it

Now, tell me

The people on this ship are not dead

They're not alive, of course, but they're not dead either:

It's as if their spirit,

the energy force, if you will,

is drained from them

These discolorations...

They're on all the bodies

Are you trying to tell me these people are victims of some kind of vampire?

Vampire? I don't understand

I'm not sure I do either, Doc

It doesn't like me

That's all there is to it

If it's possible for a botanical organism to feel,

then this plant knows hate

Come now, Doctor: Surely you're overstating the matter

No, I don't think so

I fed it: I watered it: I've done everything Buck told me to do when he gave it to me

I've even begun to talk to it

And this is how it shows me its gratitude

Subspace message coming in from Theta station, Dr Huer

That must be Buck and Colonel Deering

Maybe you better hide the plant Oh! Good heavens!

Well, hello, Buck, Colonel Deering: Are you enjoying your trip?

Not quite, Doc We stopped over on Theta Station

To drop Twiki off for repairs, and now the whole place

Has been quarantined for something called EL-7

EL-7?

Is the station's medical complex working on a vaccine?

There's some on the way: It should be here within 24 hours

Look, Doc Would you do me a favor?

The quarantine was caused by a freighter, the l S Demeter, colliding with the space station

There's something not quite kosher about it

For one thing, a small drone in the freighter

Was shut down for some reason other than EL-7

Yeah, Twiki's trying to repair it now

Listen, Doc: The drone belonged to a passenger named Helson...

William Helson of New London

Could you run an l: D: Scan on him and get me the data back as soon as possible?

No problem at all, Buck: Great

You can contact us through Commander Royko's office: Rogers out:

Well, if you have no objections, Doctor,

I'll take you down to the data banks where you can locate that information for them

No objections at all, Dr Huer

Oh, if I might make a suggestion,

perhaps you'd consider having an agro-drone

Come and look at your rather depressed piece of flora

Dr Theopolis, I'm surprised at you

Buck left that plant in my care

Bringing in an agro-drone would be a blatant admission

That I can't cope with Buck's 20th-century naturalism

- Yes, sir: When would you like the drone to look at it? - Immediately

How do you like your food discs... fried or saut�ed?

I'm not very hungry

Well, I can't say that I blame you

Saut�ed food discs are not exactly my cup of tea either

You know, that's the fourth joke you haven't even smiled at

You're doing terrible things to my self-confidence

I'm sorry

I don't understand why I feel this way

Ever since we entered that freighter,

for the first time in my life

I could feel death as a tangible presence

I wasn't gonna Say anything about this till we had more evidence,

but, uh,

Dr: Ecbar: : : Feels that those bodies on board that ship are not really dead

He thinks they're in some kind of cellular suspension

I think a being,

not a disease, is responsible

Maybe that's what you're picking up on somehow

Or maybe just the effects of EL-7

No, no, no: Don't even start thinking like that

I'll get you another drink

Here we go

What?

This is Dr Ecbar Please page Commander Royko

And have him join me at sick bay

What are you doing here?

Who are you?

Who are you?

Stay away!

Dr: Ecbar just paged me: I'm on my way to sick bay You care to join me?

Sure

Oh, my God Is he dead?

The disease must have reached its critical stage right after he called for me

How can you be so sure it was a disease? He may have been attacked

Will you wake up, Rogers?

Look at his body: He died of cellular disruption, like the others

How do you explain those discolorations on his neck?

I can't explain them: Neither could he

He told me about your theory Vampires?

You keep them to yourself, Captain:

Well, your passenger, Helson, was a bounty hunter from Cygnus 5

Specializing in alien fugitives

A guy like that can make a lot of professional enemies

Yes Well, here's the curious part, however

Helson only became a bounty hunter in the last five years

Before that, he was an agro-station farmer

Until his wife and family died under rather mysterious circumstances

How, uh... Mysterious?

Well, they died in a shuttle accident: Their bodies were never recovered

Helson was the only survivor, so he was tried

And acquitted for their murder

But afterwards, he vowed vengeance on what he said killed them...

something called a -vorvon-

Vorvon? What kind oflanguage is that from?

Dr: Theopolis is continuing his computer search right now

Great: Thanks, Doc

Try to get back to us as soon as possible, okay? Rogers out

I can't get over it, Dr Huer

The agro-drones told me there was no hope for that plant

But you managed to nurse it back to full health

I didn't know you had it in you

Yes, well, thank you

You, uh, purchased a new one, didn't you?

Yes, I did

Well, one philodendron looks rather like any other philodendron

At least, I certainly hope so

Let's hope Buck thinks so

Helson may be the key

I'm gonna go back to the cabin and see how Twiki's coming along with the repairs on that drone

I think he may be able to tell us what really happened to the crew on board the Demeter

Are you okay?

I was thinking...

Buck, have I been acting rationally?

Of course you have

You don't have EL-7: There has to be another explanation:

A psychotic killer? I think I'd prefer EL-7

That's the Wilma I know

Glad you think so

I'm not even sure I recognize myself

Boo!

Bright, Twiki Really bright

I'm sorry, Buck

Apology accepted: Did you get this thing fixed?

Yep, I got the little twerp fixed

How's it work? Top button on the left

All right: Now we're gettin' someplace

We are? Yeah This has to be the last thing the drone recorded for Helson

So, after all these years

We meet face-to-face, Vorvon

Who's he talking to? Quiet, Twiki Quiet

- You killed my family - Mmm

He's hallucinating Royko was right It was EL-7

But this... Stop! That wasn't a hallucination

If you die, I die...

He sure wasn't killed by the flu

No, he certainly wasn't

He was murdered

By something invisible to electronic surveillance

A vorvon?

He was using something to ward it off

I'm gonna go back on board that ship and find it I'll be right back

I hope so

You stand between me and something I want very much

Don't worry: This won't be very painful

Take it easy, Buck:

You're all right

Hey Don't try to sit up

How do you feel?

Like I just went the distance with Mohammed Ali

They're here

Ecbar and the people from that ship... They're the ones who attacked me

You were attacked by corpses?

None of them were really dead: Ecbar was right

Something or someone is draining their souls

Making them into puppets

Look, Commander,

I must be bruised over every square inch of my body

Are you gonna try to tell me that I hallucinated a fight with these people?

Convulsions and blackouts are pretty common with EL-7

Twiki! I'll get him to bring that servo drone: We'll play its recording for you:

Uh-oh

Oh, no

He got to it:

I only left it for a minute

Commander, you can believe what you want: I don't really care

All I want right now is an aspirin

I got a headache that goes all the way down to my toes

He's asking for a painkiller: I'll get it

Look, Buck,

I'm responsible for this station

I've got a hundred people under me

It's my job to know what's going on around here

El-7 is the only thing that makes any sense

Yeah, well, I'm gonna contact Earth again

Maybe Dr: Huer can come up with something else that makes sense:

Okay: You do that

Meanwhile, I've got some unpleasant work to do:

Just before we found you, I was told they'd discovered three bodies in Sector -G-

- What's that? - Well, if my hunch is right,

the 25th-century equivalent of the cross

I'm gonna go back to my cabin and use the vid-phone: I'll go with you

That's all right, Wilma: I'll be fine

I'll meet you later in the lounge, all right? Okay

According to Dr: Theopolis's computer scan,

the word -vorvon- originated on a planet

In the Rumaine star system,

and it refers to, uh...

Go ahead and spit it out, Doc: I asked for it, remember?

Yes, well, it refers to a half-dead creature

Who drains the living soul from its victims

- A space-age vampire - It's only a myth, you know

Don't I wish

Did you come up with anything in your research to explain what this is?

Yes It's an ancient power lock

Legend has it that it's the only thing that will ward off a vorvon

Except it doesn'tjust seem to be a legend, does it?

No, it doesn't: I've seen it, Doc

That's him

It's said that it only appears in this form to its intended victims:

Buck, I'm going to dispatch a fighter squadron to Theta Station immediately

Now, Doc, by the time they'd get here, it'd be too late

Well, I can hardly sit here while you and Colonel Deering...

Doc, there just isn't time

Now, according to the legend, is there any way to destroy one of these creatures?

The power lock can hurt it momentarily,

but the only thing that can destroy it is a tremendous overload of power

Just like Dracula couldn't stand the light of day

Creating an explosion that large on a space station is, of course, out of the question

Light of day

Doc, I've got an idea

Well, I was rather hoping you'd say that

Rogers out

I've had better conversations with a Roto-Rooter, you know

All right

In order to leave, Mr: Vorvon, you're gonna have to take the first ship in launch position

This one

And when you do, you're gonna be in for a little surprise

They don't call 'em stargates for nothin'

Now what?

I've come for you

- What's with you? - Twiki, don't you see him?

I want you

See who?

You're the only one I want: Twiki, can't you hear him?

I'll kill them all to get you:

No: Leave 'em alone

Leave me alone!

Wilma!

Buck? Buck?

Buck!

You may come to me now

No!

Buck:! Buck:! Royko!

Buck! Royko!

Buck!

Now you're all mine

- Stay away from her: - Aah!

Wilma:! Watch it! Drop it, Buck!

- What? Commander, l... - I said, drop it

- Look, Commander... - Stay where you are:

Commander, the creature, the vorvon...

It was after me! Buck scared it off

I'm sorry, Buck: I know it's not your fault

It's the virus

But you're becoming dangerous: I can't have you running around loose on this station

Commander, if you lock me up, it'll kill all of us

Please, Commander, you don't understand what you're doing!

Commander, listen to me!

Please:! This is serious!

Please!

Commander, you're making a mistake!

He was telling the truth!

Something did attack me

I'm sure you believe that

I'm really sorry, Wilma,

but your friend has become a danger to us all

And so have you

I'm not gonna lock you up with him,

but, uh, I will have to confine you to quarters

Sure: Maybe I am dreaming all this

I don't know

Maybe it is up to me to end this nightmare

Come on: Let's get some rest

It's okay, Buck: It's only a sedative

It'll make you feel better No, Commander

Before you use that thing, just do me one favor

Just one

Please talk to Dr Huer

Just talk to him

That's right

There's no need to run:

You'll let them go...

Buck, Royko?

You won't hurt them? Once I have you,

I'll need no one else for a long, long time

Buck? Buck, can you hear me?

Wilma You all right?

There is an alien on board... a vorvon

I know

Wilma...

How'd you get past the guards? Oh, I drained them:

Stole their essence

It felt so good

It was so easy

Wilma, no!

Oh, yes

Plead with me

I like the taste of fear best of all

You tricked me!

Wilma, please, let me help you

I don't want your help!

I like being this way!

I wanna stay this way! Wilma...

I've failed! Buck knows about us now

Tell me what to do: Nothing more we can do

There are other worlds... ripe, living worlds...

that can be ours for the taking

Think of it... millions of souls withering in your hands

Remember how sweet their fear can taste?

How strong it makes you feel?

Yes! Oh, yes!

What happened to her? The vorvon got to her: Come on We've got to go after her

Wait a minute: I may need this

That's it: Let's go!

Wilma!

You'd better alert Security: We're gonna need reinforcements: Come on!

So much for reinforcements:

Let's go!

You know how to operate this ship?

Yes: He showed me how: Considerate of him, wasn't it?

Security to Corridor 12, Sector -A-

Too late: They've gone Commander, we've got to stop them

Relax, Buck: I'll send a squadron after them You don't understand

I booby-trapped my ship: If we don't stop 'em before they get to the stargate, they'll both die

Starfighter in pursuit The fools Destroy it

It could be Buck I said, destroy it!

L... l...

No

No No!

What's happening?

Wilma? Wilma, can you hear me?

- Buck, I've lost control of the ship! - I've preprogrammed the guidance computer

You're gonna crash right into that star if you don't hit the -separate'-switch in front of you

You'll have 20 seconds to get back into the shuttle compartment before the ship divides

- Now, hurry!

Buck, it's been a nightmare:

I feel so ashamed

Forget it, Wilma:

It's over: Let's go home

Well, for a man just recently returned from the undead, you're looking pretty good, Doc

Thank you, I think

When the vorvon was destroyed, all his victims were freed

From their state of cellular suspension

I feel rather like that Lazarus person you told me about, Buck

Yes, well, thank you for checking in, Commander I'll speak with you again later

Huer out

Well, I don't know about you people,

but I'm starved

If anybody's interested, dinner's on me

- Well, thank you: - We'd love to

Good: Uh, you know, there is one thing I'm curious about

- Yes, what is it? - Uh, maybe you could tell me

How that India rubber plant turned into a Ficus benjamina

You know, I've been raising plants for years, and I've never been able to do that
