01x22 - Board the Imperial Alliance Mothership

[bunniefuu]

Space Pilot Hagenson. Space

Pilot John Lee. And I'm

Barry Hercules, doc.

The Imperial Master has determined to

destroy the solar system. X b*mber

must return to Earth Defense Forces.

We are positioned here. The

Imperial Alliance home planet is here.

If they are already on route to our solar

system, there is no way we can catch

them. Better think fast.

Starfleet can't hold off a major as*ault

without X-b*mber. Couldn't we plot a more

direct course to Earth?PPA has already

computed the most direct course, and

even at hyperspeed, we couldn't possibly

get there before them. Imagine this scene

if we arrive too late. Scorched earth,

radioactive dust, entire cities

destroyed. Yeesh. The guy sure paints a

pretty picture, doesn't he?

Professor Hagen,

there's only one chance. What?And

that is, yeah, tell us,

override the computer safety factor and

operate the controls manually. We could

travel at twice hyper speed. Naturally,

we'd run the risk of overloading the

power cells. We could blow the entire

ship up, but that's a chance we would

have to take. I'd call that flying by the

seat of your pants. Exactly.

We'd have to rely on our personal

computers, our brains, and our intuition.

But I'm not the captain of X-b*mber.

The decision must be yours.

Let's go for it. OK, we've

no choice. What's your vote, Lee?Count me

in. I just love suicide

missions.

Idiots. Haven't the repairs to the ship

been completed?We cannot regain our

honour in a crippled ship drifting

around in space with a crew of

incompetence. Has Captain Aurion

recovered from his accident?Well, how bad

is it?I can't die such a

dishonourable death. I demand to know my

condition. To die during battle is to die

with integrity or to be k*lled by a laser

g*n. But to be struck down by a falling

beam. His wounds are serious. He will

fight no more. What are you saying?What

are you 2 whispering about?Captain Orion,

you appear to be agitated. You should

enjoy your rest. So you're still alive.

Remarkable. Your impregnable death

bowl didn't hold together, eh

It was destroyed. By that scientific

masterpiece of theirs, the Dayex. I

also am wounded, but not as badly.

Please, Caliban, you are a

doctor. You must tell me the truth of the

seriousness of my injuries. Will I

ever fight again?

You must tell me.

Caliban, I await your answer. You

deserve to know the truth, for your

wounds are more serious than I thought.

There is severe cerebral

damage and you will not be coherent

enough. No,

not coherent enough to be able to resume

your command.

The pain you feel will probably increase

with the passage of time. What more

pain?As an alliance officer, you can

expect no sympathy. Commander

Makara, does she know of this?

I'm afraid so. She is splendidly

indifferent to your suffering. I'm so

sorry, Captain Oriel. I

request a favour from you. Take me to

my drone craft. Inform Commander

Makara. I have gone to a death befitting

a warrior. She'll be sorry

for all the things she said about me.

Oriel, I must admit to being

surprised at your courage. Very

well. I will take you now. While

Makara's cruiser is being repaired, you

will have an opportunity to prove your

worth. Oh, Caliban, I'm in your debt.

Commander Makara. What is it?Orion has

stolen one of the drone craft.

What?Orion's deserting. Stand by for

attack. Wait, Commander.

Don't attack. Let it go. Captain Orion

has a plan. Of course. Deserting, no

doubt. No. He has decided to make one

final attack on X b*mber. Surely he

should be allowed this opportunity,

Commander. I don't believe a coward

like him would do that. Never.

He's deceiving us all. No, Commander.

In his present condition, he has found

new courage and strength. He will die.

That is inevitable. But as a

brave man, I'll believe that when I see

it. Hold your fire,

Commander Makara. I leave without orders,

only with determination to die

honorably. Farewell. I am going

now to my fate by your divine guidance.

I feel utterly useless now, Professor. I

insisted on accompanying you back to

Earth to be of help. But

what?But what can I do?What?

Lamia, your duty is to survive the

new century. You are our hope for

universal peace in the solar system.

I understand. I understand the prophecy.

What if it doesn't come true?How can I

demonstrate such supernatural powers?

How can it be possible?Lamia, I

believe it's possible. What then will

become of my body?What changes?

Tell me, Professor, you're a scientist.

This prophecy could just be superstitious

nonsense. My child, there are things in

our vast universe that cannot be

explained by science. While I was still

on Mars, I began to realize

there must be some all-encompassing

force. I wanted to solve the secret of

your birth. Halley saved me. And

so I met the people from the planet

Esper. It was their spiritual belief

that made me believe, believe in the

power of good and of evil. And I

know for certain that there is a power of

good. I believe the miracle will happen.

Lamia, when we greet the new

year, you will be the keeper of this

powerful good. Oh, no.

The needles are jumping off the dials,

pal. We're in the red zone. We're going

to make it, guys. Hyperspeed.

Unidentified ship on the radar

approaching us from behind. What the heck?

If this is a joke, PPA, I'm gonna fuse

your circuits, pal. No joke. This is an

alien vessel. But Makara's ship was

damaged by the Kalinian laser cannon,

wasn't it?Nevertheless, I repeat,

alien craft approaching. He's right. It's

moving at hyperspeed, coming right at us.

Lee, ship to ship. X

b*mber here calling captain.

Captain of the approaching ship. Hello.

Do you copy?

The record of my command must not end in

failure. It will be glorious.

Commander, you think I'm a coward?

I know that that I failed the Alliance,

but I will make up for all our failures

in this my ultimate encounter.

On the screen an Alliance drone craft.

All alone, Strange. Is he crazy?Does he

think 1 drone craft can stand up to X

b*mber?Perhaps he's a deserter. In that

case, he should answer us. Shyro, let's

fire a torpedo as a warning. No, wait,

no time to fight. Come on, we haven't got

an option, pal. It's matching us for

speed. We've had it. Let's fire

torpedoes. No, we must wait till he

shows some sign of challenge.

X b*mber. I am Captain Orion

of the Imperial Alliance. You hear me?

There's your challenge coming right for

us, Shyra. Orion, you're no match for us.

This is a senseless challenge. Don't

waste your life. My

life is my own X-b*mber. I challenge

you. Challenge you to fight

me.

Shyra, we have to slow down. Slow

down to be in a position to fight. Are

you watching Commander Makara?The moment

has come. I will destroy X-b*mber

just for you. You'll never call me a

coward again. Never.

Hey, Shyro, slow down. Let's get him.

Shyro, you've got to slow down. I can't

take aim without the scanner. No,

we can't slow down. Don't rely on the

scanner. We mustn't lose time. sh**t from

the hip. OK, Sharo, fire in lasers

now.

I can't hit it. Sharo, we're in a bad

position. Slow down and turn around. We

can't. We lose too much time. Hercules.

Just take better aim. Go on, try.

Shiro, come on, turn the ship around.

We'll avoid it.

You won't get away from me.

Ready. Turn another 20 degrees.

Look at them running away.

Go on a few degrees further. Almost

there. Keep going. Don't miss this time.

Shiro. That's perfect. I'm in a great

position. Fire and laser. Now,

Commander Makara, this is your true

Orion. Now watch this.

Oh no, it's coming right at us. Hyper

speed.

Long live the Imperial Alliance.

Starboard deck damaged. Fire alarm. Red

alert. X b*mber is crippled. So

that was it. A deliberate suicide

mission. Are you all right?

We're OK, Father, but the ship's badly

damaged. It will take time to repair it.

Right. Get started. Our time is precious.

OK, let's move.

Repairs completed. Commander.

Hyperspeed. Cost X b*mber.

Orion will not have died in vain.

Hey, Lee. What?You enjoying it out here?

You look like a balloon. Oh, yeah?Remind

me to laugh when we get inside. Hey,

guys, save the locker room humor for

later. We've got to get this done real

fast. OK, Shyro.

There's something showing on the radar

screen, PPA. The Imperial Alliance

battlecruiser. Impossible. Makara's ship

was too badly damaged by the laser

cannon. Shyro, Hercules, Li. Enemy ship

approaching. Hyperspeed. Quickly

get the repairs finished. Give

you odds. It's Makara's ship. Let's go,

fellas. But we're in no position to put

up a fight. He's right. We can't even use

X Impulse until repairs are finished.

X b*mber badly damaged. It's losing

velocity rapidly. Halibon, this is our

last chance. Listen carefully.

X b*mber is at our mercy. This time we

shall destroy it. This is a moment in

history for the Alliance. Red alert.

Prepare to fire laser torpedoes.

Alien battle cruiser. 1000 militants and

closing fast, right?Lania, call in the

crew. We'll have to fight her. Sir.

Alien cruiser closing. Come back inside.

Shiro, come back inside. Cruiser closing

fast. Hercules, leave

it. We must go in. That's crazy. We can't

fight them without the X impulse. You go

in. We'll stay and finish it. What's that?

They'll finish us. They'll blast us into

space. Let's get inside, you guys. As

long as X b*mber is crippled or a sitting

duck, you go in.

They've come within range, Professor.

Where are they?To your battle stations.

Return at once. But Father,

we've almost finished repairs on X

impulse. There's no time left. Come

inside. Just give us a few more

seconds.

They appear unable to fire. Move in a

little closer. Caliban, careful.

Approach with caution could be one of

their tricks. Don't worry, Commander,

we're well defended. We'll be using

our new laser shields against them.

Laser blast firing now.

Hold on, Hercules.

Hold on, pal. I'll pull you in.

Hurry. I want to get out of here. Let's

get inside.

Turn the ship around. Still more. 40

degrees.

Main power to shield. Ready to fire.

Target set.

Laser blast firing.

Put up shield now.

They're protected by some kind of shield.

The laser blast is reflected. That's just

great. What are we going to do about

that, fellas?Hercules, fire

again. Intensify power. OK,

fire it.

Now fire.

Darn it. Without the X Impulse, we've

got no chance. There's just no way to

break through that shield. There's

one other way. Let's go, guys.

I'm with you. Hey, Lee, you coming?

What?Oh, sure.

Listen, guys, Junction, as soon as we we

take off, we'll break the shield by

plunging right through it. Right. Ready

to go. What?Riding to Makara's

ship?Suicide missions are catching.

You got another way. I'll take it

anytime. Braincom launching.

It is not possible for them to defeat a

battlecruiser. They haven't got a chance,

my son. Oh, Hallie,

what's the use of being F01 if I can't

help my friends in trouble?I must

help them.

X b*mber. She's totally defenseless.

Caliban, finish them off. Commander,

something approaches. It's the X.

What?The die X?Oh, no.

I don't like the look of this. What shall

I do now?

Everybody ready?Aim at launching Bay.

Hold on. About to go through the power

shield. Could be a bumpy ride.

Oh, look there. It's heading right here.

What can we do?

More power. We mustn't stop. I'm trying

this time. Yeah, I'm roasting. Hurry,

guys, or I'll be a roast pig. OK, this

time.

What's happening?Caliban. I've got to get

out of here. I don't want to do it.

Caliban, where are you going?

The engine room. Destroy it first.

Oh, what can we do?It's coming this way.

Commander Caliban, you must do something.

There's nothing we can do. Not against

that monster machine.

Yeah.

What's next?Just keep on going.

Head for the bridge. Suits me.

You fools! Fire on them!

Commander Makara, it's goodbye. This is

for Doctor Ben.

Look at that. The battle cruiser is

exploding. The Diax will be

destroyed.

Shyro.

The Dyex has escaped. They're saved.

Thank the Lord. Oh, Shyra.

Guys, we made it. If only

Doctor Ben could have seen it. Don't

celebrate. The Alliance are nearer the

Earth than we are. Commander

Makara's warship had finally been

destroyed, but the Imperial Master and

his fear-crazed advisors are committed to

the ultimate revenge, obliteration of

planet Earth.

We're out of the failing zone, sire.

Imperial Master, we'll soon reach the

Earth. All battle stations, man, sire.

All the Earth at last,

you people of the Earth. We'll soon learn

the power of the Imperial Alliance.

X-b*mber races at hyper speed

towards the final encounter with the

Imperial Alliance.

Earth Defense Forces are pitted in a

desperate battle against the overwhelming

weaponry of the Imperial Master's

fortress planet. The electric space net

is enmeshed X-b*mber as it races to the

rescue. Only the power of F01 can

save Earth. Don't miss the next episode

of Starfleet.

Send a message out across the sky

Alien Raiders just past jammin'

night

Who will come and save us now?

Always caring and courageous

Ooh, only they can save us

Starfleet!

Starfleet!

Starfleet! Starfleet!

Starfleet!
