Moonbase Alpha status report.

16 hundred and eight days
since leaving Earth's orbit.

Dr. Helena Russell recording.

We've encountered a
bizarre jewel like asteroid.

Our center computer is unable

to give even a
preliminary analysis.

Commander John Koenig
and chief Eagle pilot,

Alan Carter, are carrying
out a close reconnaissance.

- Eagle one to Alpha.

Eagle one to Alpha.

Anything to report?

- Commander, we're
now being affected

by an energy field
of great magnitude.

Our instruments are
behaving erratically.

- Source?

- The asteroid
you're reconnoitering.

- Can we set down?

- Scanners show a
localized atmosphere.

Breathable, area zero D.

- Like some sort of invitation.

- Let's accept it.

All right, let's go.

Looks like ice.

- Yeah, but the surface
temperature's warm.

- There's the malfunction alarm.

It's in the stabilizers.

- That's strange.

You handle it, I'm gonna
have a look around.

- Koenig to Eagle one.

Alan, I've found some
sort of cave entrance.

- Well do you wanna
wait 'til I catch up with you?

- No, I'm going in.

I'll report back
every three minutes.

- Okay.

- Alan.

- What's it like in there, John?

- You can't believe
this place, it's like a...

Like a vast, vast
hole of mirrors.

The composition appears to
be some sort of dense crystal.

It could be the energy
source Maya mentioned.

Have you located
the malfunction?

- I'm still working on it.

- All right, keep trying.

I'm gonna do some
more exploring.

Alan.

Yes, John?

- I have a sample of the rock.

I wanna take off immediately.

Well, I haven't quite finished

adjusting the stabilizers yet.

- Five minutes.

- Alan, I'm getting
some peculiar readings

from your sensors,
can you delay lift off?

- The Commander says
he wants out of here now.

- But a few minutes aren't
gonna make any difference.

- One minute could make
a whole world of difference.

Ready?

- Commander, I'm getting
some strange readings.

- So are we.

This whole asteroid
is one strange reading.

Ready for lift off?

- Well, I still haven't managed

to correct the malfunction
on the stabilizers, that...

Hey.

Okay.

- I can't make anything of
these, they're incomplete.

- Why was the
commander in such a hurry?

- We'll know in a moment,
he's in the travel tube now.

- Take this to the
observation room,

don't let it out of your sight.

- John.

- Attention all Alphans, this
is the commander speaking.

I've just returned from an

exploratory trip
to the asteroid...

And I must tell you,

it poses a very
serious threat to Alpha.

We are presently surrounded
by a very strong energy screen,

which, if we do not neutralize,

will render all of our
instruments totally useless.

In order to escape
from this force,

we will create an energy beam.

We will direct this
beam at the asteroid,

which is like a
gigantic crystal.

It will reflect the beam back,

cutting through
the energy screen,

and breaking its hold on us.

Time is our enemy.

We have an enormous
task to achieve,

but I know I can
count on the full

cooperation and support...

of all Alphans on Moonbase
to complete this task

and complete it successfully.

I want all construction
crews to report immediately

to Main Technical Section
to await further instructions

as to the beginning
of exterior work.

That is all.

Any questions, anyone?

- John, creating
this energy beam,

it's gonna take too much power

from our life support systems.

It could be very serious.

- We'll be in far more
serious trouble if we don't.

- I haven't had a
chance to complete

these sensor read outs...

- It's not necessary now.

- Well then, I'd
like an opportunity

to analyze the sample you took.

There might be another
way of breaking through

the screen without draining...

- I've already
completed that analysis.

- Without instruments?

- I had enough portable
equipment with me.

- But surely that's...

- Any other questions?

- Yes...

- Your methods, commander,
your data is totally...

- I'm sorry, I don't
want to argue with you.

- I'm not arguing,
I'm being scientific.

We lack vital information.

- Are you questioning mine?

- How could I question
what I haven't got?

As science officer, I insist...

- You are confined to your
quarters until further notice.

- John.

- You may leave now.

- She was only doing her job.

- And my job is to protect
the safety of this base.

It is my responsibility,
and mine alone.

And none of us will
survive without discipline.

Remember that...

All of you.

- Alan.

What happened on that asteroid?

- I don't know.

I remained on board the Eagle,

we had a sudden
problem with the stabilizers.

- Could something have
invaded him, a virus?

A life form taken him over.

- No, I'm thinking he must
have discovered something,

you know, some other
danger inside those caves,

and he doesn't want us to
know about it, not yet, anyway.

- That's a strong possibility.

- I've come to parley
with the mutineer.

- Why did the Commander
turn on me like that?

- Discipline,
discipline, discipline.

A throwback to Captain Bligh.

- Captain Bligh?

- Oh forget it, how
would you know?

You're a Psychon.

- Yeah, you're right.

I am a Psychon.

And I might not know
anything about your Captain.

- Bligh.

- Bligh.

But I'm hypersensitive to
all forms of living matter,

and when Helena tried
to touch the Commander...

I sensed a coldness, he
wouldn't let her touch him.

- Yeah, I noticed that.

He's unwilling
to talk, as if he's

withholding information, facts.

- Why do you think
I was so insistent?

He's keeping us in the dark.

Take that sample of crystal
he brought back with him,

he said he analyzed it,
but I don't know the results.

- All right, will
you take it easy,

or you'll have a fit
and turn into some

wild creature from outer space.

- Tony, I'm being serious.

The situation is serious.

We're not getting
any right answers.

- Maya...

What say we grab us an Eagle,

go there, take a
look for ourselves?

- Who's talking like
a mutineer now?

- That's not mutiny, that's
security, and that's me.

Now, if something is wrong,
we have a right to find out.

- He's still our commander,

and if he is in
control of his mind...

- And say for some
reason he isn't.

If he's flipped out, if he's
declared medically incompetent.

I talk like I've been
drinking my own beer.

Is that possible, John
Koenig, medically incompetent?

- Well, there's one
way of finding out,

talk to Dr. Russell.

- Another drop in the oxygen
recycling system, four degrees.

- We can't afford any
more loss, Helena.

If we start running
out of clean air,

we're gonna have a lot of
sick people on our hands.

More trouble?

- Same trouble.

- Check out the rest of our
life support systems, Ben.

See how much power
loss there is in each.

- Yeah, okay.

- Go ahead, Tony.

- Okay, I'll lay it right
on the line, Helena.

If John won't, or can't explain

the change that's come over him,

if he won't let us
try to help him, if...

If there is something
that he's not telling us,

or is helpless against,
how do we stop him?

- Those words are
pretty strong, Tony.

- Yeah, and Alpha's
getting pretty weak.

My being head of
security is a joke.

He's put a clamp on
everything, everybody.

- Look, I know
that, I'm a doctor,

I see what's happening
to our life support...

- You don't like it, do you?

- If you had your way,
what would you do?

- I'd grab an Eagle
and try to find out

what happened on that asteroid.

Maya thinks that perhaps the
crystal has the answer, that...

Maybe it has some
control over John.

If we could prove that,

he could be declared
medically incompetent.

- And if you...

Can't prove that, if
John is perfectly rational,

doing what he's doing for
the reasons that he says,

then it's conspiracy.

That word may be
too strong for me.

Commander Koenig,
this is the voice of Kalthon.

There is no escape for you.

You are shut off
from your people.

- Why are you holding me here?

What do you want from me...

And my people?

You were a fortunate
accident, Commander.

Coming into our path of space.

- I ask again, what
do you want with me?

We need your
stores of energy, sir.

At this very moment, your
people are aiding us to that end.

- You said we.

My people.

A black sun once
appeared in our galaxy.

It began to absorb
all our energy.

Our technology was
powerless against it,

but we managed to
survive total extinction.

Our scientists created a seed,

endowed it with the
remnants of our energy,

and launched it
into limitless space.

- A seed?

The heart of Kalthon, Commander,

a whole civilization,
everything is contained here.

Cities, people, animal
and vegetable life,

all in microcosm, all in
a state of suspended life,

about to be reborn.

- So you drain the energy,
all the energy from our world,

and destroy us so
yours can be reborn.

What kind of uncivilized
beings are you

to commit such a crime?

The process is about to begin.

The seed about
to be regenerated.

The seed is programmed only
for survival and resurrection.

It cannot make moral
choices, or decisions.

You are trapped.

There is no escape.

Energy reflector
operational, Commander.

- Unit two, status.

Unit two on schedule, sir.

- Unit three status.

Unit three nearly
completed, sir.

- Attention all
construction crews,

I want the energy
reflector completed

and operational by 1900 hours.

- Dr. Russell outside
to see you, sir.

- Have her come in.

- There are guards all
over the place, John.

- These are special
circumstances.

There are a lot
of guards on duty.

What is it, Helena?

Time keeps running
away from me, I can't stop.

- Well, I could talk about
what's happening to Alpha,

the jeopardy to our
entire life support system.

But what is more important,

is what has
happened to you, John.

- Nothing is happening
to me, I've got a job to do,

and I'm trying to do it.

- What really happened
on that asteroid, John?

What's wrong?

Why are you shutting me out?

- I'm not!

I told you all once,
if we don't break

this force, we'll all perish!

- It may be too
late for us by then.

I want you to have
a medical checkup.

You have been exposed to
an alien atmosphere, and...

- Helena!

I can't stop for anything!

Nothing!

- I could order you to have
a medical examination.

The overall command of
Alpha is your responsibility,

everyone knows that.

- But.

- As chief of the medical staff,

the health and well
being of everyone

on Alpha is my responsibility.

If I suspect anything...

- Helena, do you think
I would do anything

to jeopardize the health,
or lives of our people?

Trust me.

I must check in with
the construction crews.

- Don't you think
it's time to release

Maya from her quarters?

They need her badly
in Command Center.

- I am the one who
will make that decision.

Dr. Russell.

When this is all over, I will
have that medical examination.

- I touched him,
his skin was like ice.

It was eerie, hardly...

- Say it, Helena.

Go ahead, say it.

Hardly human?

- Hardly human.

- What surprised me, is
that he let you touch him.

- He tried to avoid it.

- Did he react?

Did he say anything?

- At the moment of contact,
neither of us said anything.

I was too shocked.

- Do you think he
suspects anything?

- He had to, I reacted
to the iciness of his skin.

The thing is, that
up until that moment,

I believed everything he said.

And now?

- I'm afraid.

- The answer's in the crystal.

- Yeah.

So our next move is,
we get the crystal, right?

- Do we tell Alan?

- No, no not yet, not
until we're absolutely sure.

Okay, Maya, first move is yours.

- Gonna call it quits for now?

- The way the
Commander's riding us,

I'd like to call
it quits forever.

- I know what you mean.

- I'm ready to go in now.

Tony will try to keep him

in Command Center
as long as he can,

but you'll have to hurry.

Forgot something.

- I'll never tell.

- Cranston.

- Yes, Commander?

- Did you program
Main Power Plant

for transfer to
energy reflector units?

- Your orders have
been carried out, sir.

- It's incredible.

I've never seen
anything like it.

This is no crystal.

It's...

An unbelievable
dense complex type

of living matter from which
all energy's been drained,

but it's not dead, only
dormant, like a seed.

It's impossible to
imagine the effects

that such a substance
could have on a human being.

- How can we help
John combat it?

- We have to
face the possibility

that Commander Koenig may...

No longer be...

Flesh and blood.

You are trapped,
there is no escape.

You are trapped,
there is no escape.

You are trapped,
there is no escape!

You are trapped,
there is no escape!

- It works.

The ultra-frequency
sound seems to have

split the molecules
into particles of atoms

that bombard the crystal.

- Alan, we've gotta
get to the asteroid,

knock out the
rest of that stuff.

- I'm trying to understand,
but I still don't buy it.

You and Maya are coming
up with a lot of theories,

you can't prove anything.

- How can you be such
a dumb blind kangaroo?

Can't you see what's happening?

- Yeah, what is happening
is a lot of crazy talk.

- Alan, we've just demonstrated

some very odd
properties in this crystal.

- Yes, and we've
come across a lot

of things odder than that.

- But?

- But it didn't cause us to
make crazy accusations!

- Alan, please listen.

You will accept that
the Commander is not

behaving in his usual manner.

- Okay, he's uptight.

- Helena managed to touch him,

and his skin was as cold as ice.

Its texture and temperature
approximates that crystal.

- You said yourself,
something happened

to him on that asteroid.

- Look, I said he
found out something,

he's come across
some terrible threat,

and he doesn't want us to
know about it, not yet, anyway.

- Or something's
got control of him,

and won't let him tell us.

- Oh, listen, we're
talking about John Koenig.

You remember him?

John Koenig?

- Alan, we're just as
loyal to John as you are.

- Well, you've got one
hell of a way to showing it.

- Oh, arguing amongst ourselves
isn't gonna help anything.

- No, or convince
him, apparently.

- Maybe we can.

- Yeah, how?

- Alan, you've got to
help us get an Eagle.

- All the Eagles are grounded,

all the launchpads
are sealed off.

- We know.

- By help, you mean steal.

Well I can't do that.

- Oh come on, Alan!

- It goes against all
instinct, all training!

- Instinct, training, you're
hiding behind words!

- Words, huh?

Well they may be
just words to you,

but to me they add up to
something else, loyalty and duty,

and my duty is to John Koenig.

- If your duty was to John
Koenig, you would help him.

- Exactly.

- Well in my book, cobber,
your kind of help is mutiny.

- This is the Commander.

All Alpha personnel
will remain at their posts,

or in their quarters
during the transfer

of power to the energy beam.

Deactivate main circuits.

- Helena, Support
System three is cutting out.

- Effect the transfer.

- Now Support
System six is fading out.

- Commander Koenig,
Medical Center.

- Dr. Russell, I have
no time for conversation.

- Wait a minute, I'm
losing Life Support Systems

three and six, if you
take any more power

away from me, some people...

- Some people may die.

But some people are
not all the people, Doctor.

- Mr. Verdeschi, you
shouldn't be in this section.

Orders are to let no one enter

Eagles without direct
orders from the Commander.

And I have orders to
disarm all personnel.

- I'm not armed.

- I'm sorry, but I
have orders to inform

the Commander of any
unauthorized personnel in this.

- Alpha to Eagle one,
return to base immediately,

do you read me?

Return to base.

- John, there is one question
that I've got to ask you,

and it's absolutely vital that
you give me an honest answer.

- Yes, what is it?

- Eagle one is space borne, sir.

- Where is it headed?

- For the asteroid.

- Shoot it down.

- You cannot mean that.

- Are you asking to
be relieved of duty?

- No, sir.

- John.

- John?

- Activate laser gun.

- The laser?

- You heard me.

- John, that is
one of our Eagles.

- I gave you an order, obey it!

Weapon Section.

- Prepare the laser gun.

Laser gun on target, John.

- Shoot it down.

- Now, would you mind
repeating that, John?

- Shoot it down!

- Tony, when we touch down,
what's our plan of action?

- Gonna have to play it by
ear when we get there, Maya.

One thing's for sure,
we stay together.

- Carter.

I gave orders to
shoot that craft down.

What sort of
insubordination is this?

- Commander, I can't do it.

I know who's up there.

- Tony and Maya.

- I ordered you to fire!

- Well I won't do it!

Oh come on, Commander, I can't.

- Commander, you can't.

- John, if you
fire those lazers,

power will be diverted
from your energy beam.

That'll throw
everything off schedule.

Put everything behind
time, and you said,

time keeps running
away from you.

That's what you said, isn't it?

- Retract laser gun.

- Weapon Section,
retract the laser gun.

- I owe you all an apology.

I have been withholding
information from you.

I realize now, it was a mistake.

That asteroid is not only
draining our power, it's...

- Don't listen to him,
this is not John Koenig.

- Helena, what are
you talking about?

If I'm not John
Koenig, who am I?

- Touch him.

Go ahead, Alan, touch him.

He's like ice.

- She's right.

I am like ice.

Something did affect
me on that asteroid,

I don't know what it was.

But I do know that,
we'll never be free again

unless we break that
asteroid's hold on us, on me.

He's not telling the truth.

- That's why I gave
strict instructions

that no one leave Alpha.

I would rather have
had them shot down

than go there and face
dangers beyond the ones I faced.

I only hope it's not
too late to save them.

- Please, believe me.

Something's wrong, it
isn't the way he says.

- Helena, please try
to get ahold of yourself.

Now don't force me to use
my authority as commander.

I'd hate to have to confine
you to your quarters.

Nor do I want to order you

to Medical Center
for observation.

- Perhaps I have been upset.

We've all been under strain.

- San, increase the
energy flow to the beam,

we've got to break free.

- Wow.

- That energy refractor is
beginning to cook this place.

- Yeah, there's the
cave, just like Alan said.

- Tony.

Commander.

- We just left him on Alpha.

Wait a second,
look at the lettering

on his jacket, it's backwards.

- It's like a reflection.

- Reflection?

- From where?

What is it, Maya,
what are you doing?

- I think this could
be the Commander.

- What are you saying?

That he was able to
transport himself down here.

- I don't think he ever left.

- John.

John!

- He can't respond,
not as long as he's

frozen in that state.

- If that really is John,

then who the hell
is that on Alpha?

- His reflection.

Or an intelligent life form

that can take form
from a reflection.

- Stand back.

Okay, so how do
we break him free?

- Laser.

- I mean without killing him.

- Tony, we've found out what
we've come here to find out.

If we don't move
quickly it won't matter.

- John, I don't know
if you can hear me,

but if you can, I'm
gonna use my laser.

Now break away fast so I can

cut the beam as
soon as possible.

- Am I glad to see you.

- John, are you all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Your image is up on Alpha.

- I know.

- We don't know
what he's trying to do.

- He's trying to regenerate
an entire new civilization.

This place is about to explode
into life any second now.

- That's why he
needs our energy.

- How is he draining
off the power?

- A reflector, he's
beaming the energy.

- To the seed.

It's the heart of Kalthon,
it's like an embryo.

It's the crux of everything
here, I've seen it.

It's here somewhere
in this complex.

- If we find it we
can destroy it.

- With sound, high
frequency sound.

- Maya split open a sample
of the crystal with sonar.

I've programmed our comlocks
to the exact same pitch.

- Good, now I'll take
your Eagle back to Alpha.

- It won't be easy when
you get back, John.

He's in command.

Helena is the only one who
suspects there's something wrong.

- Even Alan believes he's you.

Yeah.

- You two, find the heard
of Kalthon and destroy it.

We'll pick you up later.

- Well, time to play our song.

It's on the other side.

You are trapped,
trapped forever.

There is no escape.

You will stay frozen forever.

- Increase power flow
to maximum plus five.

- Commander, our
temperature is dropping rapidly.

This will eliminate
half our instruments.

- Do it.

- Water in the
recycling plant is frozen.

Hydroponics, frozen.

Protein production
unit, inoperative.

- Maintain power level as is.

- The oxygen units have failed.

We're on emergency,
we must have more power.

- We need all available
power for the beam.

- Alpha is dying,
can't you realize that.

- I will not have my
orders questioned!

Now back to your
posts, both of you!

- We can't go along
with this anymore.

- Dr. Russell, you're
relieved of duty.

- Alan, you've got
to stop him, now.

- Alan get back to your post!

- John!

- Increase power flow
to maximum plus 15.

- We can't do it, John,
we'll destroy Alpha!

- Carter, I gave you an order!

- That order is countermanded.

You're at my desk, alien.

- That is an image creature
projected by the asteroid.

Don't listen to it.

Destroy it.

Destroy it!

- One of us is real,
one a reflection.

- I was on that asteroid,
I know what its force

is trying to do to us.

It's running out of time now,

it's the last chance it'll have.

- That's the truth.

If it can't drain the last
of our power, it'll die.

- that's why it sent my reflection
down here to confuse us,

to steal the last few moments

so it can complete the transfer.

- Helena.

You can tell us apart.

The things we've
shared he can't know.

- I need no further proof
than his actions, John.

- How clever they
are, how very clever.

Under pressure of
emergency they've got me

acting totally contrary
to my own character,

so that even
Dr. Russell doubts me.

- Not only Dr. Russell.

- Alan.

Alan.

Alan.

Look at the jacket, the
lettering on the jacket.

It's the exact opposite
of mine, it's reversed.

I ask you, which one
of us is a reflection.

- Yes, the letting is backwards
because he switched jackets,

but he overlooked
one little thing, the hair.

Alan, Helena,
the part in my hair.

- You're too late!

Nothing can stop us
now, we will regenerate.

Kalthon lives.

- Kalthon dies.

- Kalthon lives!
