(Helena)
'Moonbase Alpha status report,

'2,009 days since leaving earth
orbit. Dr Helena Russell recording.

'This morning we heard
the most terrifying sound in space,

'the universal plague
warning signal.

'Commander John koenig
is in the north quadrant

'investigating a belt of asteroids
which gives hope of colonisation.'

Tony, it's in a position
to go into a high orbit around us.

Magnify.

Our eagles are just model ts
compared to that.

It's changed course.

- Heading?
- Towards us.

- It's a plague ship, Tony.
- I know.

(Man) 'Weapons section.'

prepare lasers.
Target that spaceship.

'Permission to land. Urgent.
We require permission to land.'

identify yourself, please.

'My name is sahala,
from the galaxy croton.

'One of my crew is dead,
another severely injured.

'I alone control the ship.
Will you permit me to touch down?'

- no! No permission to touch down.
- She says she has injured on board.

Sahala, your ship is transmitting
the universal plague signal.

'That is true. We have a plague
on board, but isolated.

'There's no danger to you.
Please help us.'

Maya, run a scan on that ship.

Croton... our psychon astronomers
did identify

controlled sources of
photon emission in the third galaxy.

Scanner confirms.
The ship is photon driven.

What's its armament?

It has no armament.

Helena, get a medical team
to the launch area.

Take care of the injured.
Wear anti-contamination suits

and double-check there's no danger
to us from the plague

- before you board.
- Right.

- You have permission to land.
- 'Thank you.'

Alan, take Maya, meet the landing
party, make sure there's no threat.

Lower launch pad to boarding level.

Apart from skull fractures,
she's lost a lot of blood.

But with your help, we must save her.

How did it happen?

We have a criminal on board who
nearly destroyed our civilisation.

My mission was to deliver him
to exile him on theselena,

a distant planet of our system.

For a few disastrous moments
he broke loose with this result.

This criminal is the nature
of the plague you carry?

Yes, but we now have him safe
in isolation.

She'll go right
to our medical centre.

- What have you done?
- What I had to do.

(Beeping)

(Beeping)

Not a thing.

There's no sign of decay,
just some form of suspension.

I've never seen anything like it.

- How's yesta?
- Not good.

I'm waiting for the lab report.

We'll have to operate.

Because she's a psychon!

That gives you the right
to shoot her?

Yes! Because of what they've done
to my people.

- We were...
- I don't care what you were!

If Maya doesn't come out of this,

you'll remain here locked in
detention for the rest of your life.

- Let me tell...
- You cannot tell me anything!

- Tony, give her a chance.
- Alan, she gets nothing!

- Come on, Alan, let's go.
- In a second.

Ok, but a guard stays
outside this door permanently.

Thank you for trying to be kind.

It's not that I'm
a better listener than Tony,

it's just Maya means a lot to him.

The croton system is made up
of many peoples in many planets,

of which my planet norva was one.

Over decons, it has been cultivated
into a peace-loving federation.

The planet psychon,
is that a member?

We didn't even know of its existence

until the arrival
of one named dorzak.

He came in a spaceship
with other psychons

begging refuge, saying his
planet was to be destroyed.

Maya knew some of her people left
psychon before it blew up

but she never knew if they made it
to another system.

Technologically they were advanced
and we welcomed them on norva.

But soon we realised the psychons
were a virus destroying our society.

Wait a minute. You've got something
out of balance. Maya is no virus.

You don't know psychons like we do.
Their power is insidious.

Dorzak incited to violence people
who had been at peace for years.

But you said dorzak is the prisoner.

Yes, we developed a weapon to defeat
him... and the psychology to use it.

- The weapon you used against Maya?
- The staser.

Please help me.

If Maya doesn't recover...

Crotons don't kill! That was
our weakness against dorzak.

- I can bring her back.
- Do that and get Tony on your side.

(Beeping)

The staser.

Can you convince him to trust me?

Let her prove you wrong, Tony.

(Beep)

I've got a pulse.

How do you feel?

I feel fine.

Why? Why did you do that?

Because you are a psychon.
I have experience with psychons.

- Get her away from me!
- It's ok, Maya.

- Get her away!
- Take it easy.

I want her back in detention.

With a guard outside
her door at all times.

Maya, one of the spaceships that
escaped psychon before it blew up,

it made it to the croton system.

That's wonderful!

Well, isn't it?

They caused grief. It seems one
of your people, dorzak...

Dorzak!

Sahala says he turned on them,
tried to take over.

She's lying!

She says he incited
an insurrection on norva.

She's lying, I tell you!

Dorzak was a philosopher, a poet,
a man of peace! He wouldn't change.

The claim is he caused
great suffering.

- That can't be!
- She's taking him to exile.

- He's alive?
- A prisoner on sahala's ship.

- Here?
- Yeah.

Tony, I want to see him.
Please take me to him.

Am I so much a leper
I must eat alone?

I wouldn't think of it.

You seem somehow different
from the others.

Different? No.

We all come
from the same planet, earth.

Unless you mean my accent.

I guess I am a little different.

On earth I come from a country
called Australia.

Australia. Is that very important?

Yeah. It is to me.

Our origins differ, but you are
easy to be with, and kind.

Because you are easy to be with.

There's one way
to repay your kindness,

by continually warning you
of the danger you are in.

Your psychon will do her best
to free dorzak.

Maya will do nothing
she is not permitted to do.

Their loyalty to each other
transcends all other relationships.

- You don't know Maya.
- No, but I do know dorzak!

Even in stasis, he's dangerous.

One of my crew is dead,
another near dead.

They were selected for their ability
to resist his psychological attack,

but he still got through
their defences.

How?

'It began when we were halfway to
theselena, where dorzak was exiled.

'The journey to theselena
is the longest we make,

'and apart from
the presence of dorzak,

'the crew had to face the
psychological stress of the flight.'

(beeping)

'Clea was on watch
when things began to go wrong.

'She was unfortunately not
as strong as yesta and myself

'against dorzak's fatal influence,
even as he lay in stasis.'

(Bleeping)

'Computer to crew. Computer to crew.
I wish to communicate.'

Speak.

'We are approaching
a rogue asteroid,

'the former moon from planet earth.

'Its trajectory is random. It is
inhabited by 300 earth people.

'Their culture is primitive, bound
by laws of the ancient continent.

'They represent no danger
to the mission.

'Adjustments have been made
to avoid collision.

'Communication complete.'

thank you, computer.

(Beeping)

(Computer) 'I am reporting a fault
in the long—range communicator.

- 'The fault lies...'
- Quiet!

(Beeping)

(Beeping)

We have arrived in theselena?

How could I ever allow them
to submit you to that indignity?

- But where are we?
- Approaching an asteroid.

There are 300 people there,
backward, but potentially useful.

What do you have in mind?

We could take over the ship,
and use it to return to norva.

What about the others?

You could eliminate them,
after the psychon fashion.

Why are you doing this for me?

Oh, dorzak!

Clea! Clea! My wonderful clea!

(Laser fire)

Oh, no! What have I been doing?

- He is evil, clea. Evil.
- I know. I know.

Come, come.

- How did it happen?
- I don't know.

I'll get you something to drink.

When I woke to take over the watch
in the normal way,

yesta had nearly bled to death.

What happened to clea?

I released her from stasis, then
she confessed what I just told you.

The guilt was too much for her.
She threw herself out into space.

That's when I changed course
to ask for your help.

Mr verdeschi would like
to see sahala.

Where is he?

At the docking port,
waiting to enter the croton ship.

- Is the psychon, Maya, with him?
- Yes.

You see, it begins.

Why must we wait for her permission?

Protocol. We don't go aboard visiting
spaceships without permission.

- Even if she's deceiving us?
- We're not sure of that.

- Permission to board your ship.
- For what purpose?

- To talk to dorzak.
- You cannot. He's in stasis.

You can bring him out of stasis
long enough for us to ask questions.

You'd help
if you're telling the truth.

She is. Why don't you listen?

If I am lying,
why is dorzak my prisoner?

Because he was in command
and you were in stasis.

Just like a psychon
to twist the truth.

Quit stalling. Let us talk to dorzak,
we'll learn the truth.

- Get him out of stasis.
- Too dangerous.

There is a witness
that knows what happened.

- In the medical centre - yesta.
- She is still unconscious.

It's safer to wait till she wakes up.

We don't know that she ever will.

Sahala, I don't want to board
without your permission, but I will.

And it's on kill.

Mr verdeschi,
move from the entry hatch.

Get her back to detention!

Let's go find dorzak.

Thanks. You had me worried.
I thought she'd got to you.

She has got to me.

Impressive place.

Yeah, the crotons are obviously
very cultured people.

Just like the lady said.

Something?

Yeah, looks more
functional than ornamental.

The other alcoves show
no trace of anything similar.

What do you think? An electronic bug?

Could be. Maybe some kind of charm.

Technical can check it out.

(Beep)

Dorzak! That's a force-field.

He doesn't look a menace there.

He sleeps easy for somebody
who perverts minds.

He doesn't pervert minds!

More than likely the crotons were so
impressed, they were drawn to him.

Possibly his ideas were a threat
to the croton establishment.

The crotons were oppressing people,

he was opposing them,
of course they'd exile him!

Then sahala could be telling
the truth about what happened.

A version of the truth.
Anything to stop us reviving him!

What if sahala is telling the truth?

If she is, it would be dangerous
to revive him.

Tony?

I'm not sure
we ought to take that risk.

He's a wonderful man! I know him!

You knew him, Maya, on psychon.

You know nothing of him
since he left.

(Bleep)

- 'Dr Russell?'
- Yes, ed.

- 'We're ready to operate.'
- I'm on my way.

Helena, if you can bring yesta
back to consciousness,

it might help
solve a lot of problems.

Tony, I'm not the only psychon alive.

I know.

I think I can get him out of stasis.

Why don't we wait
until we hear yesta's story.

I never thought I'd see
anyone of my race again.

I must speak to him!

If what sahala said is true...

Even if her accusations are true,

he can't harm anyone
behind a force-field!

Ok. Go ahead.
See if you can revive him.

First phase is to relieve cortical
pressure caused by the fracture.

At least we've stopped
the internal haemorrhage.

It may recur.
All monitors functioning?

Yeah. What do you make of this?

(Helena) I don't know.
It seems to be a metal alloy.

Could be a deliberate implant
of some kind.

It'll have to come out.
It's involved in the wound.

All set, then?

(Electric crackling)

Run some tests on this, ed, please.

(Bleep)

- 'Tony.'
- yes, Helena.

Yesta will be out of the
anaesthetic in a few minutes.

Ok. I'll be right there.

Maya, that force-field
must remain intact.

- I understand, Tony.
- Let's go, Alan.

Get sahala to medical centre.

Maya, can you handle it?

Don't worry. I wouldn't
do anything against Alpha.

(Electronic crackling)

(Crackling stops)

Dorzak!

Maya?

It is Maya? Daughter of mentor?

But how are you here in this ship?
I thought you were dead.

I survived the destruction
of psychon.

The only survivor.

We thought you were dead.

I survived the hatred of
the crotons... the only survivor.

It's just you and me, Maya.
We're the only psychons alive.

A force-field.

I thought you came to rescue me,
Maya. Am I still a prisoner?

Not for long. Sahala,
the commander of this ship...

That evil being!
What lies has she told about me?

Her lies won't help her
now yesta's revived.

Yes. If there's a croton
with integrity, it's yesta.

- Where is she?
- In medical centre.

While we wait for the truth
to come out, tell me of yourself,

Maya, since I saw you last.

(Helena) She's coming out of it.

Yesta.

I am yesta.

(Moans)

(Maya) Mentor tried restoring the
planet with a biological computer.

(Groans)

Thank you, dr Russell,
for helping my friend.

How is she?

She doesn't know where she is.
She doesn't know me.

A familiar face would be reassuring.
Yesta.

Sahala is here.

Yesta.

Yesta.

(Screams)

- Get away!
- It's sahala.

- Take her away.
- Yesta, please!

What we did to the psychons is wrong.

We should have left them in peace.

- Yesta, listen to me.
- No! Get her away! Get her away!

Get her away from me!

She killed clea!

(Maya) But mentor's intellect
was not sufficient. Psychon blew up.

She's dead.

At least we know where we stand.

- Maya.
- 'Yes, Tony.'

it seems dorzak is innocent.

- I knew it.
- 'If you can revive dorzak...'

I already have.

Then I can release him
from the force-field?

'Yes. Take him to
more comfortable quarters. Level d.'

Your faith sustained us both.

Get her back to detention.

She was obviously lying, Alan.

Obviously? Something doesn't
hang together here, Tony.

She talked about dorzak's mind
having power over other people.

Maybe she's the one with the power.

Will you take some advice
from a buddy?

- Stay away from her.
- Something like that.

- Hey, Sam.

Run a check on that, will you?

I just ran a check on the twin
of that for dr Russell.

- Yeah? How about filling me in.
- Sure.

This is the one removed
from yesta's head.

It's a neuro—pulsonicjammer.

- A deliberate implant?
- Dr Russell said that.

What's it supposed to jam?
Any ideas?

- These are organic psychowaves.
- What does that mean?

Electrical impulses associated
with extrasensory perception.

If I was to give you an
order or message,

the impulses from my brain
would look like that?

Yes, they would.

You could jam that message
if you had this in your head?

Exactly.

Sam, did our sensors pick up
any organic psychowaves

like these transmitted today?

Yes, they did.

You must tell me more

about the technique
of molecular transformation.

Have you mastered it?

I have.

Of course,
with the help of my father.

What about your friends on Alpha?
Have you taught them?

Only psychons have
the molecular structure

that permits the transformation.

Then you must teach me.

(Squeaks)

You're so brilliant about everything,
I enjoy doing something you cannot.

You must teach me the principles.

'Maya, report
to medical centre, please.'

I'll be right there, Tony.

Exercise your famous brain to find
my friends a habitable planet,

and I will teach you molecular
transformation when I get back.

(Door opens)

There it is, just behind the ear.
Right under the scalp flap.

It's a simple operation.
Done in minutes.

If only we'd known what it was
before we removed it from yesta.

Poor yesta. She died with
those foul accusations on her lips.

She must be in misery
thinking I blame her.

No. Wherever she is,
she'd know you wouldn't blame her.

- You're convinced I'm truthful?
- Of course.

Maya, look at this.
It's a neuro—pulsonicjammer.

Its purpose is to jam electrical
waves, amongst other things.

Such as hypno—suggestion.

Our sensors noted a hypno-suggestion
transmission at 13:22.

That was the time when
you brought dorzak out of stasis.

And they stopped
just after yesta's death.

She's accusing dorzak
of transmitting those impulses?

Yes.

The crotons developed the device

to jam psychowaves
before they enter the brain.

Then why was clea affected?

- And yesta?
- Clea was in love with dorzak

and removed the thing that protected
her from his power.

I take responsibility for yesta.

I removed the device and dorzak had
her say what he wanted us to hear.

Helena, how can we be sure
she's not tricking us?

Maya, we can't
be sure of dorzak, either.

If he can control minds from stasis,
he could take us over completely.

The only one
he can't control is sahala.

Yes, give me a weapon.

- I'll capture him again.
- No, Tony.

Don't worry,
I don't intend to do that.

Would you escort the lady
back to detention?

Please.

It's going to be ok this time.

Maya, there is a way to the truth.

If sahala and dorzak
were left alone together,

all the cards would be on the table.

If dorzak suspects...
Be careful, Maya.

(Alarm)

'Attention security personnel.

'The croton sahala
has broken out of detention

'and has dr Russell hostage
at gunpoint.'

she is in section I,
proceeding towards the croton ship.

No one is to try to stop her.

If I can help in any way.

Thank you.

If any of your people
suffered injury because of me...

- How did it happen?
- I don't know.

What the hell
were security doing?

Tell sahala you'll exchange me
for dr Russell.

That is what she wants.

It crossed my mind.

They're on their way
to the croton ship.

'I have a demand to make,
mr verdeschi.'

yeah, I'll bet.
Dorzak for dr Russell.

'Correct. And should dorzak
make you reluctant,

'may I remind you that iflchoose

'to ignite the photon drive
before I am clear of Alpha,

'all life here
will be extinguished...

- 'By radiation.'
- 'I thought crotons didn't kill.'

'it's the language
you appear to understand.

'I expect the psychon immediately.'

Dorzak.

It's absurd we should be at war.

War seems to come naturally
to you psychons.

This far from norva,
I see things clearer.

You crotons are in greater danger
from yourselves than from psychons.

We are no longer in danger from you.

But your civilisation
is enfeebled by contentment.

Psychons are steeled
by the struggle for survival.

You cannot subvert my mind
as you did yesta's.

It may be decons old,

but your civilisation
was based on military supremacy.

Only when that was achieved could
the luxury of culture grow.

On the stasis couch!
This gun is set to kill.

Yes, the couch is very comfortable.

How did you subvert yesta's mind?

You should know that.

Sahala would know.

- Why do you tremble, sahala?
- I am not trembling.

Are you suddenly afraid of me?

Sahala would not be afraid of me.

Do you know why
you are afraid of me?

Because you are not sahala.

You are Maya!

You betrayed me.

She must know by now!

Give her a couple of minutes,
then we'll go in.

Is there some flaw in the psychon
nature that turns us into monsters?

First my father. And now you.

Philosophy doesn't win space
for people to live.

The struggle for survival
makes monsters of us all.

The alphans aren't warped
by their struggle.

A pathetic example of the
lingering process of extinction.

Without your help, they'd be dead.

They saved me...
From our doomed planet.

You are a child, but you can
be of great service to me.

I refuse.

Only crotons are trained
to operate this ship,

so sahala must be under my control.

To do that I must have dr Russell
remove the neuro-pulsonic jammer.

I command you to convey to me

the knowledge of molecular
transformation.

- It's been too long.
- Right.

(Beeping)

Maya.

- I was wrong.
- Are you all right?

Not really. I could hardly believe
what I heard... from his own lips.

- He's not the dorzak I know.
- I'll tell sahala.

Hey! She can have her ship,
but I want it off moonbase

as soon as possible.

I was afraid.

He's in stasis now, Maya.
There's no need to be afraid.

Hey! I know what'll cheer you up.

How about a beer? You know how
my beer always cheers you up.

- Yes, I'd love some.
- Well, great!

(French accent) Zere is
a fabulous French restaurant

I know on level 9, ooh-ia-ia!

Or we could have a nice, relaxing
time, floating around in outer space.

(Humphrey bogart voice)
C'mon, let's celebrate, sweetheart.

In a while, Tony.
I'd like to apologise to sahala.

Apologise! Come on, Maya,
you don't have to do that!

Please, Tony!
I'll meet you in command centre.

Ok, but I'll be waiting.
Come on, Helena, let's go.

You go ahead, Tony.

Before they leave,
I'd like to learn about stasis.

It's just not my day!

I want you to perform an operation
for me, doctor.

Yes, dorzak.

Then, I may go back to my ship?

Maya caught him off guard.

He thought he was talking to you.
We got the truth.

How can I thank you?

You could start by forgiving us
for doubting you.

I felt through it all
you were my friend.

I was... and I am.

Helena, I have the report
you asked me for.

Oh, thanks.

- 'Tony.'
- yes, ed.

'Helena was just in here.'

she's a doctor,
that's a medical centre!

'She took some surgical instruments
and walked out without a word.

'I had some reports she was
anxious to see. She didn't care.

'Her actions were... very unusual.'

a lot of unusual things
have happened lately, ed.

Maya even said
she'd love some of my beer!

That's pretty unusual behaviour...

For Maya.

It's a relief to see him
safely in stasis again.

Don't feel too comfortable.

Mr Carter...
If you will hand your weapon to me.

And now, mr Carter,
walk into the stasis chamber.

Forgive me for pointing this at you,

but until that implant is removed
I cannot reach your mind.

(Dorzak) Ah, dr Russell.

Would you kindly
prepare yourself, sahala?

Dr Russell has agreed to perform
the necessary operation.

(Ed) She just took the instruments
out of that drawer,

and walked out without a word.

She's just never acted
that way before.

- Was something bothering her?
- I'm not sure.

Dr Russell... your patient is ready.

Helena.

Mr verdeschi,
hand me your weapon, please.

- Helena, are you all right?
- Yes, I'm all right.

The wall!

(Beeping)

(Beeping)

- Oh, Tony!
- Welcome back.

It's all right, Maya.
Everything is all right now.

What happened?

I'll let you know everything as soon
as dorzak's behind this force-field.

Very clever, these earthlings.

Easy, Tony.

Nice job of inserting
that capsule, doctor.

Nice job removing it, doctor.

Where's Alan?

The least he could do is thank me
for saving his alien friend.

He's with his alien friend now.

Crotons are conditioned
never to be sad at a parting,

but I'm ashamed
to say I am sad at this one.

Well, I'm not conditioned.

And I'm not ashamed of how I feel,
knowing I'll never see you again.

How does your species say goodbye?

How do you say goodbye on norva?

The way you say goodbye is better.
