'Moonbase Alpha
status report.

'565 days since leaving Earth's
orbit. Dr Helena Russell recording.

'Two days ago, we encountered a
small planet moving across our path.

'Our scanners detected milgonite,

'a rare mineral
vital to our life support system.

'Eagle Four, with a specially
adapted laboratory section,

'was despatched to carry out a full
geological survey of the planet.'

Hey, that was some cloud bank.

I almost forget
what clouds look like.

You can say that again!

We now have close visual contact.

The closer the better.

Too close too quickly
can be dangerous.

Mm. Definitely!

'Maya,
what have you got for us?'

She's a big girl, Tony.

She's not used
to loud-mouthed Irish Romeos.

- But she's a quick study.
- Hmph!

Geophysical scan confirms presence
of large deposits of milgonite.

Life signs?

Some kind of life form
is registering.

- Minimal and unidentifiable.
- Atmosphere?

Oxygen, nitrogen,
inert gases, hydrogen.

- Breathable.
- Sounds all right.

'A piece of cake.'
'What?'

'Nothing
to give us trouble.'

Not a bad landing, Alan. Not bad.

Not bad? You didn't feel a thing!

How much time do we have
before Alpha's out of range?

If we're not off this planet
in three hours...

Three hours and two minutes
to be exact.

Three hours.

Let's conserve energy.
Switch to minimum power.

Hey! That's my lucky hat!

Never seen one of these before, eh?

That's the trouble with your planet.
They never had the state of Texas.

Or an Irish cowboy.

We had many wonderful things
on Zycon.

All right,
everybody, gather round.

- All set?
- Mm-hm.

We've got exactly three hours.

Commander, in three hours
we'll have enough milgonite

- to last Alpha indefinitely.
- I hope you're right.

Maya, program Computer
for three hours.

'Minus three hours
to lift-off.'

My turn to mind the store.

Somebody has to.
Tony, stay with her. Let's go.

Aye-aye!

I can hear that milgonite calling!

Dave!

Hello, hello, hello.
Well, that's her!

Oh!

What a beaut!

What a beauty!

Say hello to big Dave!

I hate to break up
your romance with this rock

but we've got work to do!

The rocks understand me, Commander.

Me wives never did
but the rocks do.

Fastest gun on Alpha.

Right.

Well...get ready to dig for gold.

Hello...

Now, that...

That is strange.

What is it, Dave?

It's not milgonite.

- Then what is it?
- I don't know.

But there must be
a source of energy for that glow.

Let's take a sample
back to the Eagle for analysis.

First, let's check it for radiation
or dangerous elements.

Right.

Uh-uh. Nope...

No...

Negative.

Then, go ahead.

OK.

Right.

Hello?

Something's off-balance.

Let's find out how off-balance.

Computer negative.

I don't buy it. That rock has got
to show some geological reaction.

There's no sign
of any life form now.

Everybody leave it alone.
It's my baby.

He's dead.

'Minus two hours
45 minutes to lift-off.'

- Get that thing out.
- Hold it!

I said get it out!

John!
I'm getting brain wave patterns!

You said
he had cardiac arrest.

Yes. All his organs are functioning
normally. His heart has stopped.

He's alive!

This may shock his heart back.

- It might destroy the rest of him.
- I've got to chance it.

- It's no use.
- He began to respond.

- That was involuntary.
- Helena!

I'm a doctor, not a miracle worker!

I can cope with the known,
but the unknown...

- Tony's brain is still functioning.
- It's one of the mysteries of life.

I said get rid of that!

- You can't!
- You saw what it did.

Any cure will be in the rock.

We don't know
what the hell we're dealing with.

We take him back to Alpha
and cure him there.

Maya's right, John.
The answer is here.

All right, but no one
goes near that rock or looks at it.

- Is that clear?
- Well...

- Where do you think you're going?
- Out!

Out to get what we came here for.

We've got bigger things
to worry us now.

I know! Look, I...

I am sorry.

But I can't do your job.

I'm the geologist
and you can't do mine.

And Alpha needs that milgonite.

Maya...

I am sorry about Tony.

Alan, keep him company.
I'll be right with you.

Isn't there any way
we can reach him?

His brain is still alive.
There's...there's that hope, Maya.

Right...

Well, that should do it.

Er...when I tell you, Alan,

- that one.
- Mm-hm.

Is it reading?

Yo.

Right, let's have a look.

Quartz, orthoclase,
hornblende, augite...

olivine, feldspar...

No milgonite?

There has to be!

I checked the area thoroughly
before I asked you to land here.

The computer on Alpha confirmed it.

- You couldn't have made an error?
- No way! I double-checked.

The computer could've malfunctioned.

Now, that's the human mind -
doubt and disbelief.

The computer checked out
every component part of milgonite,

and I read it straight.

No...

Maya, will you be getting
the microscope for me, please?

I want to have a look at this...
"rock fluid" on the slide.

Now, hold it!

I told you, nobody cuts up
that rock. Nobody looks at it.

- We must, if we're to help Tony!
- It's too dangerous.

The secretion won't be as powerful,

and with my molecular structure,
I won't be in as much danger.

No, no, no, no, you don't,
little lady.

The eyes of Texas are upon me.

Er...is it all right?

It's only the rock fluid. I'm just
examining it under the microscope.

All right.

Would you mind?

Well, the little old Texas heart
is still beating.

What do you make of it?

I don't know.

It's not the source of power,
or I'd have been dead like Tony.

Take a look yourself, Commander.

- Like blood corpuscles.
- Yeah.

Only they keep separating.

I reckon whatever it is, it feeds
the nerve system of the rock.

Then the rock
must be a living organism.

The life form
our sensor picked up.

Oh, yes. It's alive, all right.

And lethal.

Tony?

Tony!

What made the rock have the power
to strike Tony, yet leave us alone?

- 'John. John!'
- Yes, Helena?

- Tony's gone.
- What?

- 'He walked out of here!'
- Then he's alive?

No...well, I don't know.
He must be!

'Helena?

'Helena! Are you all right? Helena!'

John...

I...I think that that rock
has control of Tony.

'John, I'm scared.'

'Stay where you are.

'You're safer there
until we find Tony.'

All right. Let's split up.

Let's go.

Tony!

Tony!

Tony!

Tony!

Tony!

Tony!

Tony!

Commander!

Commander, over here!

He's blown
another piece of rock off.

He's been here.

Tony...

Tony, can you hear me?

Helena?

You said he was alive. Helena!

Oh, yes, he...he is alive.

He came in here with a rock,

he put it over there
next to the other one, and they...

fused themselves together.

That does it.
We're getting off this planet.

- What about the rock?
- We must take it.

We will, but we'll dump it in space.

- We must take it back to Alpha.
- What?

I need to examine it.

You need to examine your head.
That thing goes.

- Nothing - no response.
- We got trouble up here!

All systems are dead.

Eagle Four calling Moonbase Alpha.
Eagle Four calling Moonbase Alpha.

Come in, Alpha. Come in, Alpha.

Nothing.

Moonbase Alpha, this is Eagle Four.
Moonbase Alpha, this is Eagle Four.

'Minus one hour
45 minutes to lift-off.'

Eagle Four to Moonbase Alpha.

Eagle Four to Moonbase Alpha.
Do you read me?

This is Eagle Four. Come in,
Alpha. Alpha, are you reading me?

Alpha, perhaps you're reading me but
we're not getting anything from you.

..in some way,
can you contact us?

Alpha, We are getting
no contact with you.

There, you take that.

There we are. Right?

Keep trying.

Eagle Four
to Moonbase Alpha...

- How long's it been pulsating?
- It just started.

- Any change?
- No. He's the same.

That thing's got to go.
It's too dangerous.

John, Tony is still alive.

Maybe we can find a way
to break through to him.

We'll work on that outside.

- Don't go near! It could kill you!
- So could old age.

Alpha, do you read me?

John!

Alan!

I'm all right. I'm all right.

- What's happening?
- There was a blue light.

The rock...
The rock hit me with a blue light.

- It caused a paralysing pain.
- Blue? It's yellow.

It was blue.

Yellow...orange and blue.

I wonder what colour kills?

- Did you get through?
- No, no, communications are dead.

I wish it could tell us
what it wants.

Maybe it was trying
to communicate...say something.

All right. Maybe it's angry.

Its natural habitat is out there

and we've taken it out
of its natural habitat.

Did we?

Or did it bring us to it?

Maybe it
brainwashed the computer

into believing milgonite was here.

Oh, boy! That's gonna make
the cowboy jump for joy!

It took over Tony's body,

using him to slice off a piece of
the parent rock to bring it back...

No. It had the biological powers
to fuse itself.

Maybe when it gets what it wants,
it'll release Tony.

What does it want?

All right - one more time.

What does it want?

I don't get it.

I've brought in wildcat oil wells
back on Earth, tapped uranium,

but...but this...

There's been water here.

Geologically speaking,
there ought to be water.

But the whole planet is like a...

It's like a desert.

What happened to the milgonite?

Don't say happened, Maya.
Think positive.

There are clouds above
that have dropped no rain.

The hydrostat said so.

I'm not worried about the rain.
Could be an ecological goof-up.

- I'm looking for milgonite.
- Not on this planet, cowboy.

What does that mean, astronaut?

Dave, your computer reading
was right.

But your source was all wrong.

What do you mean,
my source was wrong?

We think that rock programmed
our computer to get us here

on the pretence we'd find milgonite.

That rock has power, energy,
intelligence and purpose.

You're talking as though it's human!

It's not human,
but it is a life form.

What we don't know is its purpose.

And Maya, I think
you can help us find that out.

If I could reach it.

- I could save Tony.
- Maya, wait a minute!

You've seen what that rock can do!

- It can be dangerous.
- Then why let her do it?

There's no other way!

- You can't think of one!
- Any suggestions?

- No!
- Give your mouth a rest!

Discussion ended!

John, I think
she's in communication.

If that thing really is alive...

and it's talking to Maya...

then it's off its guard.

I was only seeing if our weapons
could be effective!

- You fool!
- I had it on stun!

I wasn't trying to kill it!
It's a geological marvel!

Suppose it then killed Maya?

- I was trying to help Maya!
- To her grave!

I'm sorry, Commander.
I can't communicate with it.

It's a life form. You can change
into anything organic.

- You should be able to communicate.
- It refuses.

- John.
- 'Yes, Helena?'

The rock changed colour.
It's green.

Helena, get out of there.
That could be the death colour.

- John!
- 'I told you to get out, Helena!'

'Helena?
What's going on in there?'

- It won't let me go.
- 'Are you all right?'

Yes.

It doesn't seem to want to hurt me.

It seems to be holding me hostage.

'Helena. Helena.
You all right?'

It seems to be
searching for something.

I told you to get out of there.

I can't get out!

Helena? We're right close.

'Are you still held?
Can you get out?'

- Door won't open!
- 'Try to get out.'

Stay put.

Try Computer.

I can't! The green light stops me!

- Any pain?
- 'No feeling. Numb.'

I can't move!

Helena.

It's moving around!

It's exploring
our storage supply wall!

- Go into the pilot section.
- 'I still can't move.'

It's fixed itself
on our water supply.

The rock...

has absorbed...all of the water!

'That's what it wanted!'

Water!

It needs...

water to survive!

- Yes...
- 'And it'll get it any way it can.'

I think I get the scene.
The rock...

all these rocks,
needed water to survive.

These others are dead.

Over centuries,
they drained this planet dry.

It didn't have to
commandeer our Eagle!

We could have taken it
to a planet with water.

When humans panic,
they don't think too well.

Amazing!

Imagine the geological paper
I can write on this!

Commander.
The human body is mostly water.

And Helena's in there
with that rock!

John, the green light
has moved off of me.

'Make a break for the door.'

I can't get the door open!

It's lifting off!

It's taking the rock with it!

You've got a one-track mind
in a Stone Age skull!

Look...

All you can think of
is that damn rock!

Get away from me!

It's coming down!

Yes! It can't leave
the rest of itself behind!

Helena? What's happening in there?

I don't know.

I don't know.

- What about Tony?
- 'No change.'

The rock has begun to pulsate again.

- What colour?
- 'Yellow.'

It's taken over the computer.

There are different star charts
flashing on the screen.

It's looking for a place with water.

It's facing a deadline, like we are.

Which deadline runs out first...

- its or ours?
- I don't know.

My guess is our friend has to
get off this planet or it'll die.

We know that feeling.

'Are the
star charts still flashing?'

No, it's stopped.
The screen's blank.

We think that rock
wants to get off the planet.

If it is, Tony has to do
his rock-gathering bit again.

'The second he leaves the ship,
I want you to alert us. OK?'

All right.

Let's move.

All right.
You two stay clear of the action.

- We'll take care of Tony.
- What are you going to do?

We can't let him
take any more rock.

- How can we stop him?
- Stun him.

Maybe we can loosen the rock's hold.
You two, get behind those rocks.

Alan, you come with me.

- 'He's out, John.'
- OK. Stay where you are.

Make sure that gun's set on stun.

You too, huh?

You think the rock
is all I care about.

What happened?

The laser energy
added to the rock's powers

affected his molecular structure.

Yes?

'John.
Tony has reappeared. Materialised.'

He was transported!

We hit him with our lasers, hoping
to loosen the rock's grip on him.

He's moving. He's making some sounds!

The sudden power surge
has weakened the rock!

That means
it's most vulnerable now.

If we can take Tony's comlock,
we can open that Eagle door.

'We have Tony's comlock.
We'll try and open the Eagle door.'

I've got his laser.

Where's the comlock?

Hey, cowboy!

He's gonna do something stupid!

Tony?

Oh, Helena. What happened?

'Minus one hour
30 minutes to lift-off.'

Come on. Let's get out of here.

- Dave!
- Out, both of you!

Quit your shoving!

All right, now. Take it easy.
You'll be all right.

- Tony!
- He'll be all right now, Maya.

'Come in, Dave.
Come in, Dave!

'Come in, Dave!'

Come in, Dave. Come in, Dave!

Come in, Dave!

Maybe he's dead.

No. If it wanted to kill us,
Helena would be dead now.

He's been taken over like Tony was.

- He had to go charging in there!
- We owe him for that.

It got Helena and Tony out.

How are you doing?

This laser gun is taking
longer to adapt than I thought.

- How much longer?
- Not long.

Will it work?

Four laser beams will be enough
to dry up a reservoir.

It's a cinch to dehydrate the rock.
Weaken it.

Perhaps kill it.

If we have to, then we have to.

- Better get ready, Maya.
- For what?

If that rock is using Dave, he
should be coming out any time now.

We can't let Dave
bring any of the parent rock back.

That rock could become
too powerful to beat.

Alan, go to the Eagle.
Tell us when he comes out.

Here he comes.

Maya, you know what to do.

'Minus 15 minutes
to lift-off. Range critical.'

Commander! Help me!

Maya! Get out of there!

I can't! It's pulling me towards it!

You can break its grip!

It's using
most of its power to fuse me!

Break away now! Break away now!

- The rock's turned red!
- Red is death! Red is death!

Use your laser gun! Dehydrate it!

- Easy, there.
- It's OK. You're all right.

How's he?

He's OK. Call Helena and Tony.
We're getting off this planet.

Helena? Tony? Get back here now!

All right, Alan. Take her up.

It's dying.

Yes, it will in a couple of hours
unless it gets water.

It didn't want to hurt us.
It only wanted to survive.

It's too bad the clouds
won't give up their water in time.

We can make them give it up!
Nucleoid active crystals.

We've got plenty on board.

We can make it rain
by dropping them on the clouds!

You set it up.

John. We'd like to drop
nucleoid crystals into those clouds.

Nucleoid?

- Maya?
- 'Yes, Commander?'

- You all set, rainmaker?
- Yes, Commander.

Jettison crystals.

Well, we, er...
didn't get away with any milgonite.

No, but we got away with our lives.

Here.

For milgonite, another time.

Alan, you think
you can find our way back?

Can I!

Let's go home.
