There's plenty of volcanic action
down there:

Looks good: How about it, Wilma?
Anything on your readout?

The planet is called Phibocetes:

My information tells me
that it's uninhabited:

If Dr: Goodfellow's theory is correct: : :

We're almost certain to find
Therbidian crystals in all that lava and ash:

Let's hope the good doctor
knows what he's talking about:

Searcher, this is Rogers:

Go ahead, Captain Rogers:

Phibocetes looks promising:
We're going to touch down and check it out:

How's everything going
up there?

Well, the ship
is still without power, Buck,

although we're not drifting anymore
thanks to the retrostabilizers:

But, as you know,
their fuel supply is limited:

They can't last forever:

Looks like we're coming up on somejungle:
Taking her in for a landing:

Rogers out:

[Wilma]
It's like a fairyland...

beautiful, yet strange:

[Hawk]
This must be how the Earth looked
before the dawn of animal life:

I will look over there:
[Buck]
As good a place as any:

[Hawk]
This entire area
is heavily covered with volcanic ash:

We must look carefully:

The ground fog
may obscure the crystals:

Over here:

Oh: Wonder what we've got here...

Therbidian?
Well, we'll see:

Ha: Therbidian crystal:
No doubt about it:

I see no more:

Yeah, but at least we know they're here:
Yes: Probably under the ash:

We'll set up a mining operation...
uh, camp over here:

What's that over there?

What in the world?

Any idea what this is?
A mummy?

Whatever it is now, it had to be
a humanoid of some kind once:
Yeah:

Well, we won't know anything for sure
until we get this back aboard the Searcher
and let Dr: Goodfellow look at it:

Buck, look at these:
More Therbidian crystals:

Well, that settles it: Let's get this thing
back onboard the Searcher
and get this mining operation set up:

We can build a travois
out of tree limbs:

That's a good idea: Let's do it:

[Soft Growling]

[Man Narrating]
In the year 1987,

NASA launched the last
of America's deep space probes:

Aboard this compact starship,

a lone astronaut,
Captain William "Buck'"Rogers,

was to experience cosmic forces
beyond all comprehension:

In a freak mishap,
his life-support systems were frozen: : :

By temperatures beyond imagination:

Ranger 3 was blown out
of its planned trajectory: : :

Into an orbit 1,000 times more vast,

an orbit which was to return
Buck Rogers to Earth: : :

500 years later:

Can you imagine how Dr: Goodfellow's
gonna react when he takes a look at this?

Yeah: He'll flip:
Flip?

Means he'll be delighted:
Twentieth-century jargon:

Are you ready?
[Grunting]

Do you think the recent volcanic eruptions
brought this thing to the surface?

It's a possibility: I'd like to know
where this thing came from
in the first place:

You don't suppose
that poor mummy: : :

Was an ancient ruler
who chose this planet
for his tomb, do you?

I don't know:
It could be:
Shh:

What is it?

In the trees... something moved:

But Phibocetes
is supposed to be uninhabited:

I am certain I saw movement:

Let's go have a look:

[Twig Snaps]

Did you hear that?

[Raspy Breathing]

[Soft Growling]

Perhaps my eyes
were deceiving me:

I don't think so:
Take a look at this:

It's freshly broken:
Something was here:

Something very shy: : :

Or very cunning:

Yeah: Well, whatever it was,
it's outfoxed us:

[Sighs]
Let's get on back
to the shuttle:

All right:

What the...

[Buck]
It's unbelievable:
The door's just ripped open:

The mummy's gone:

Someone broke in:
No: The door was forced
from the inside:

You know the strength it took
to break that door out like that?

It must have injured itself getting out:
Look at this:

- Blood:
- We better take a sample for Dr: Goodfellow:

That's a good idea:

Maybe it'll give us some kind of clue
as to what we're up against down here:

Hawk, we're gonna need a crew
for the mining operation anyway: :

Why don't you take these blood samples
back to Dr: Goodfellow on board the Searcher: : :

And also the: : : Crystals:

They're gone:

Let us go outside and look:

The harness...
it's been torn to shreds:

How?

You are not planning on staying behind
while we return to the Searcher:

Sure: That way
I can get everything set up: : :

And we can get started
as soon as you get back:

Look, we don't have time to waste:
The Searcher is hanging up there
with dead engines:

But, Buck,
it'll take a full day to get the team
and equipment together:

You'll be all alone:

Not quite: The thing
that tore through the door
will be here with you:

Hawk's right: You can't stay:

Look, I'll be just fine, all right?

Now, um, get moving, will ya?
Time's a-wastin', as they say:

Be aware, Buck:

- Where'd you come from?
- Are you angry because I am here?

No, no: I'm not angry, just surprised:

Oh:

Uh, who are you?
What's your name?

What is your name?
My name is Buck Rogers:

My name will be Buck Rogers too:
[Chuckles]
All right:

Uh, where'd you come from?
How'd you got here?

[Gasps]
Look! Aren't they beautiful?

Do you like them,
Buck Rogers?

Yes: They're very pretty:

I give it to you:

Thank you:
What do I do with them?

Look at it:

All right:

Now you can look at it
as much as you like:

Ah: That's very pretty,

but you still haven't told me
how you got here
or where you came from:

I do not know:

You mean you don't remember?

Oh, it's all right:
Just, uh, why don't you tell me
what you do remember?

I remember walking through the trees: : :

And how cold I was when it was dark:

I found some berries!
Do you like berries, Buck Rogers?

[Chuckles]
How long have you been here?
Can you remember that?

- Two days:
- Two days, huh?

You are displeased with me:
No, no: No:
No, of course not!

No, no:
No, it's just, well,

you had two days
with no memory of them:

Uh, it sounds a little like amnesia:

Now, look, um,
maybe you crashed on this planet,

and you... you walked away
from the wreckage
before you had regained your senses, huh?

- That is what happened:
- You mean you remember now?

I remember as you tell me how it was:
That pleases you, does it not?

[Chuckles]
Well, I was just guessing:

Now that we have found each other, you
will tell me many things, Buck Rogers...

and I will listen and learn,
for that is the way it is ordained:

You know, I can't go around
calling you "Buck Rogers" all the time:
I'm gonna have to find a name for you:

How about "Laura"?
Yes! Laura!

[Chuckles]
Right: How about "Susan"?
I bet you like that too, right?

Yes! Susan:
You're gonna have to choose:

Now which is it gonna be,
Laura or Susan?

You choose for me:
I want the one you choose:

All right: Um: : : Laura:

Oh, thank you, Buck Rogers!

Ask me what my name is:

[Clears Throat]
What's your name, stranger?

My name is Laura:
Isn't it a beautiful name?

[Chuckles]
It's the prettiest name I ever heard:

[Dr: Goodfellow]
Remarkable:! Look: Isn't that amazing?

[Wilma] I can't even read it:
The patterns are changing so fast:

Precisely the point, my dear:
Do you know, at first,
I thought the mummy creature's blood: : :

Was simply a genetic variant
on human blood:

But not so:
Not so at all: It's fairly exploding
with evolutionary development:

But at that rate of change...
It doesn't seem possible:

Indeed:

But the hemokinesis
behind that rate of change is astounding:

- Oh, Crichton:
- Yes, Dr: Goodfellow?

Would you kindly do something for me?

Interface with the ship's archives: : :

And research the distant past
of the planet Phibocetes:

Oh, really, Doctor:

That section of the archives is like
an old, dusty attic, electronically speaking:

All that ancient material
stored away in binary code...
so cumbersome!

He's his usual miserable self this morning:

Crichton!

Oh, very well, Doctor:

Doctor:
Huh?

What kind of creature would display
such a rapid rate of genetic change?

Oh, I have no idea, Hawk,
but it's going to be fascinating to find out:

Launch bay, how's the loading coming?

[Man]
All mining equipment
has been stowed, Colonel:

The field lab is being loaded now:
You can launch in three minutes:

We're on our way:
We'll keep in touch, Doctor:

Thank you: Thank you:

[Chirping]
I wish I could go with 'em:

Oh, my dear fellow, we need you
to keep Crichton in line, so to speak:

- He does listen to you on occasion:
- But very few occasions:

He's far from an obedient son:

Obedient son? Oh, yes: I see:
Yes: Good for you, little fella:

So, have you been able
to remember anything else?

I'm trying:

I'm sorry, Buck Rogers:
There's no need to be sorry:

[Raspy Breathing]
Give it some time:
You'll get your memory back:

Oh: I'm so happy:

Now that we are together,
everything will be wonderful:

[Chuckles]
I think I've created an optimist here:

[Growling]

[Growling Continues]

[Growling Subsides]

What on earth?

Laura, this is
Wilma and Hawk:

Hello:
My name is Laura:
Buck Rogers gave it to me:

I think she has amnesia: She doesn't
remember who she is or how she got here...
nothing before two days ago:

She was who you saw
in the woods yesterday:

- What about the mummy?
- Oh, we heard it last night,
but we haven't seen it:

If she does have amnesia,
maybe we can help:

Hawk, would you mind
taking the shuttle
back to the Searcher: : :

And asking Dr: Goodfellow
to assemble an optical imager:

Optical imager?
Yes: It's an instrument
that will help us probe her memory:

- Yeah: All right:
- [Hawk] Consider it done:

But I am not at all sure
I like leaving you here:
We'll be fine, Hawk:

We have a small army here:
We're all armed: We can cope:

Very well:

I will also ask the admiral
to run a verification on ships lost in this area:
Good idea:

[Wilma]
I know it's scary not being able to remember,
but you really shouldn't worry:

Amnesia is almost never permanent,
Laura:

At least that's what I remember
from my medical courses at NavCom:

NavCom?

It's a school where astro-officers
are trained for space flight:

We all have to depend on one another
in so many different situations,
some medical knowledge is a must:

But let's talk about you,
your family:

- Family?
- Yes, your family:

They must be terribly concerned about you:

But what is a family?

Well, how's the checkup coming?

Uh, so far, so good:
I've taken a blood sample: : :

And we should have an analysis
in a minute:

Mm: How about you, huh?
How's your memory? Has it come back?

Uh, not yet,
but once we do an O: E: L: On Laura,

we should pretty well know who she is
and where she comes from:

O: E: L:?
Oh, hey: There's nothing
to be afraid about:

O: E: L: May sound terrible,
but the worst it can do
is give you a bit of a tickle:

Mm: Smile now:

[Beeps]
Excuse me a second:

[Softly]
Is, uh, something wrong?

Um, I'm not sure, Buck:
The results of the analysis...

Hey:! Stop:!
[Mummy Growling, Laser Blasts]

What happened?
It tried to grab me...
jumped at me from behind:

I spotted a cluster ofTherbidian crystals,
bent down to dig them up,

and something grabbed me:

What did it look like?
I never saw its face,

but it's grotesque:

Whatever it was, I sure
don't want to see it again:
It ran off that way:

All right:
Wilma, take Laura back to her tent,
make sure she's well guarded:

Johnson, come with me:

Well, Crichton:

Crichton...

Now, what's the matter with you?
Crichton!

Listen to me: Have you made any progress?
I've got to report back to Buck
and Colonel Deering:

Really, Doctor: I am sifting
this mountain of moldy minutiae: : :

Just as fast as possible:

This is exacting research and as such,

it must not be rushed:

Well, there's no need to be officious about it:

Humans! Hmph!

You really do
try my patience at times:

[Buck]
Nothing: Just a few broken branches:

How's everything around here? Quiet?
Mm-hmm:

Okay: I want an armed guard
around the perimeter of the camp
at all times:

Lee, you start first:
Yes, sir:

- Hall, you feel like going back to work?
- I'm okay: Let's go:

Okay:

By the way, how are you
getting along with Laura?
Well, I can't seem to reach her:

You do seem to be her favorite:
Well, I've known her longer:

And don't worry:
You'll win her over:

Yeah: You were gonna tell me something
about this analysis before all that happened:

[Exhales Deeply]
I don't know:

I can't seem to accept
what I find here:

Now, why is that?

Well, Laura's blood sample
and the creature's...

they analyze precisely alike:

What? Well, you better
have that analyzer fixed:

There's no way that Laura's blood
and that creature's could be the same:

[Wilma]
The analyzer's fine:

Their characteristics... they're identical,
right down to the D: N: A: Structure:

[Buck]
If that's right, then...

Well, then how could Laura
look different than the creature?

I don't know:

Technically, it shouldn't be possible:

Dr: Goodfellow
has Crichton searching the archives:
Maybe they'll come up with something:

[Chattering]

[Chattering Continues]

[Raspy Breathing]
[Laughs]
It's true:

[Growling Softly]

[Raspy Breathing]

[Growls]

[Raspy Breathing]

[Low Growl]

[Laura Screaming]
[Creature Growls]

[Screaming Continues]

Wait:! Don't shoot:!
You might hit the girl:!

- [Growling]
- Come on!

Keep after him: Move!

You're all right:
You're all right:
[Sobbing]

You're safe:

Okay:
I'll take you back to camp:

Johnson!

You all right?
I think so:

That thing...
some kind of of monster:

Let's get him
to the medical tent:

Here we are:
This will help calm you:

Drink it up:
That's enough:

He was out, Captain:
That thing almost crushed him:

[Hall]
He may have some broken ribs:

Hall, we need two men on alert
from now on:

- Right, Captain:
- Take him over there:

Wilma:
[Man]
Captain:!

The crystals are gone:
It took the box:

All of'em we'd mined?
Yes, sir:
Every last one:

[Sighs]
All right: All right,
get back on guard duty:

Yes, sir:

[Man]
Admiral Asimov:
Yes?

Should I call Captain Rogers?

No: If he has any news, he'll call us:

The retrostabilizers
are beginning to waver:

They're going to give out,
and we'll be drifting again:

Even if they worked forever,
Admiral,

without the crystals,
we would still be hanging here,

dead in space:

I know, Hawk, I know:

We've got to have those crystals:

Oh, does Dr: Goodfellow
have the optical imager assembled yet?

He predicts by morning:

Tsk:
Uh, let me see how far
he has progressed:

Yeah:

[Raspy Breathing]

I don't understand:

The monster let her go,
but took the crystals:

Why?
Look at the risk it took:

It's almost an obsession:
Hmm:

[High-pitched Whining]

Sir:
Yes?

The Federation Tracking Command
reports no lost ships anywhere
in the vicinity of Phibocetes:

Well, then how
could the girl have gotten there?
She had to come from someplace:

And records for the last three centuries
show Phibocetes to be uninhabited:

[Clears Throat]
Now hear this:

I have a significant announcement to make:

I have discovered a lost race on Phibocetes:

We should simultaneously transmit
what I am about to show you: : :

To Captain Rogers
and Colonel Deering,

since it bears directly
on their situation:

Lieutenant Martin:

I'll raise them:
Yeah:

[Admiral]
Buck? Colonel Deering?

- Yeah, Admiral: Go ahead:
- Crichton has a report to make:

I have uncovered evidence
of a lost race on Phibocetes: Observe:

You are looking at a Phibocetes male: : :

Of an indeterminate period
preceding the 22nd century: : :

Taken from ancient microtransparencies:

This is the first of two stages
ofhis devolution:

The second stage: : :

And the final:

A remarkable catagenesis
through which they degenerate:

It looks exactly like the creature
that invaded our camp:

It is possible the degeneration is produced: : :

By a factor peculiar to Phibocetes...

a virus, perhaps:

Crichton, if these people
disappeared from Phibocetes
over 300 years ago,

how do you explain this one
apparently coming back to life?

I do not have that information:

Well, then would you please
go back to the archives and get it?

We need all the information
we can on this planet:

I hear: I obey:

Is there anything else either of you want
or need from the Searcher?

Yes: When is the O: E: L: Arriving, sir?

It is being assembled,
and Hawk will no doubt arrive with it
first thing tomorrow morning:

Oh, and incidentally, Buck,
there have been no ships lost in your area:

[Buck]
Okay, Admiral: Thanks: Rogers out:

[Exhales Deeply]
So Laura didn't crash here,

and her blood matches
the other creature's:

Does that mean she's gonna change too...
turn into some kind of monster?

What about us?

If it is a virus that's responsible,
are we going to catch it?

Degenerate into a thing
like the one out there?

[Raspy Breathing]

There's nothing to be afraid of:

This is an electronic scan
that's going to help us
bring your memory back:

Isn't that wonderful?

Oh, Buck Rogers:
I'm glad you are here:

Well, so am l:
I wouldn't miss this first step toward
getting your memory back for anything:

Wilma will take very good care of you,
and I'll be sitting right over there, okay?

Okay:
You all right?

All right: We'll get started now:
Here we go:

[Beeps]
Think about the very first time
you saw each of us:

Very good, Laura:
And now, later on:

Now, let's go back to the day before
our ship first arrived:

Fine, Laura: Fine:
And three days before that?

Now think of people
you went to school with:

All right, Laura, um,

try thinking about someone
you were very close to
when you were a little girl,

um, like a friend or a sister:

[Wilma]
How about your mother?

[Laura]
My mother?
Yes, that's right:

The lady who took care of you
when you were a little girl:

[Gasps]

Why are you all looking
at me like that?

Get them out of here:

All right: Let us go: Let us go:

Don't worry about it:
It was just a malfunction of the machine:

It's okay:

There's nothing... nothing wrong:
It's all right:

[Chattering]

Laura, no!

[Grunting]
Let go of it:
Laura, let go of it:

- What happened?
- She tried to attack Hall with this:

[Wilma]
She seems to be in some kind of a trance:

I don't think she's conscious
of what's going on:

[Buck]
Take her back to your tent, Wilma... quickly:

- Hall, you all right?
- Yes, Captain... thanks to Hawk:

Take those crystals to the shuttle,
all right?
Yeah:

Get those crystals
back on board the Searcher
as quickly as possible:

[Sighs]
Is she all right?

Well, she fell asleep instantly...

not even aware of what she tried to do:

What are we gonna do with you, Laura?
What are we gonna do?

I don't understand how the crystals
could exert such an influence over her:

I don't think the crystals
have anything to do with it:

They don't affect us that way,
and we're exposed to them
every day on the ship:

Buck Rogers?

How do you feel?

I feel strange:
What is happening to me?

I think you know something about me
that I don't know myself:

I am frightened:

You are the one to tell me:
I have no one else:

- Please?
- Laura, don't be frightened:

We'll help you:

I heard you talking before
about my blood:

And those men talking...

Is it true, Buck Rogers?

Am I the same
as that thing in the trees?

Is it ordained I am to become like that?

No!

Oh, Buck Rogers,
I will lose you if I become one of them!

I can't bear to lose you!

I won't let it happen! I won't!
I'd rather die!

Laura! Laura!

[Sighs]

[High-pitched Whining]

Sir, Crichton, uh, said he's on his way up:
He has something important to say:

Crichton considers everything he says
to be important:

I just can't believe he's my son:

[Chirping]
What's the matter, Crichton?

Cat got your enunciator circuits, hmm?

Twiki, what I am about to say
will be humiliating enough: : :

Without having to endure
your feeble attempts at wit:

Skip the preamble:
What is it you wanted to tell us?

I have made a mistake:

I don't believe it:

I reversed the evolutionary process
of the Phibocetes male:

The images which I screened for you
were in reverse order:

You mean they start out as a sort of monster
and then evolve to the normal man?

Precisely, Admiral:

You see, I discovered that the colony
established on Phibocetes 400 years ago: : :

Came originally from Earth:

An Earth colony?

That is correct:

Genetic engineers
altered the D: N: A: Structure
of the colonists: : :

And used light refracted
through Therbidian crystals: : :

To activate their life force:

- But why would they do that?
- To ensure an efficient means of reproduction: : :

That would do away
with such vulnerable stages: : :

As pregnancy, infancy and childhood, Admiral:

Twiki, see if you can find Dr: Goodfellow:
We need him up here at once:

Yes, sir:

Laura!

[Laura Sobbing]

[Sobbing Continues]

Laura!

I won't turn into that creature,
Buck Rogers! I won't! I'd rather die!

Hush: Now, hush:

Now, just take a look at yourself:
Look at yourself:

Look at your hands: Look at your body:
You're beautiful:

And you'll always be beautiful:

But the machine said...
Never mind what that machine said:

You once said it was ordained: : :

That whatever I told you,
you'd listen:

Well, I'm telling you something
right now:

Everything's gonna be all right: Mm?

Come on: Come on:

Mm?

[High-pitched Whining]

Oh, I see:

Then it was a massive volcanic eruption
that destroyed the colony,

not the genetic engineering?

That is correct, Doctor:

Oh, no:

Crichton, I've got an idea:

Show us those transparencies again
if you please:

Yes: And get them
in the right order this time:

[Crichton]
This was the early stage of their existence:

Since they had superhuman strength
and tended toward violence,

during this phase
they were intended to be supervised:

This is the final form
in which they remained
throughout their life span:

They were fabricated, full-sized,
from D: N: A: : : :

With all cultural information
encoded in their genes:

They were packaged, so to speak,
in this form: : :

To await activation
by light from the Therbidian crystals:

Did you hear that, Admiral?

You know, that exactly matches
Buck's description: : :

Of the mummy
they found their first day on Phibocetes:

And that also explains
why the creatures want the crystals:

Crichton, how long could it survive
in that form?

Indefinitely:

- 300 years?
- Easily:

Raise the mining camp:

Buck and Colonel Deering
must know about this:

[Growling]
Buck Rogers, watch out!

[Growling Continues]

Buck Rogers, look out:!

Buck Rogers, he'll kill you:!

[Grunting]

Stop! Stop it!
You'll kill him:

Buck Rogers, wait:!
Don't hurt him, please:

Please, don't hurt him:

Please, don't hurt him:

Crichton had the pictures in reverse:
He is evolving into a man:

- What?
- The mummy is just the beginning,
not the end:

Crichton had it backwards:

Don't be afraid: I'll help you:

We are of the same race, you and l:

We belong together:
It is ordained:

It was programmed into our being
a long, long time ago:

I didn't know
until I saw you changing,

but now I know
it is all as it should be:

Everything will be fine:
I knew it would be:

I am an optimist:
You told me so, didn't you, Buck Rogers?

The admiral informs me
the fusion reactors
are operating full power:

This last load of crystals
will serve as surplus
for future emergencies:

That's wonderful, Hawk:

In a way this reminds me
of Adam and Eve:

Adam and Eve?
Yes, uh,

the beginning of the human race,
according to some beliefs:

According to Dr: Goodfellow, we're witnessing
the awakening of a race of people
who've been slumbering for over 300 years:

We are remembering
with each passing minute:

Forgive me for being violent:

That's all right:
You couldn't help yourself:

Every instinct programmed into you
told you that those crystals were essential
to the existence of your people:

Excuse me for a second: Here:

I just wanted to say good-bye, Laura:

Buck Rogers,
my name was not to be Laura:

Oh? What was it meant to be?

But I think I will keep the "Laura"
to remember you by:

Okay:

Bye-bye:

I must say you look awfully pleased
for a man who's just been jilted:

Who, me?

Well, of course, it must've been
very hard on Laura to give you up:

Oh, yes:
Well, I hated to do it to the kid, really,

but, uh, well, she has her newly evolved friend
to keep her company, and besides,

I didn't have the heart
to deprive certain, uh, others
of my companionship:

[Imitating Laura]
Oh, Buck Rogers!

Does that mean that
we will be together for always?

Well, it does seem to be ordained,
doesn't it?

[Laughing]
