01x07 - Mortal Combat In The Gravity Graveyard!

[bunniefuu]

Space Pilot Hagen, Sir. Space

Pilot John Lee. And I'm Barry

Hercules, Doc.

In the vortex of one of the galaxy's

black holes, X b*mber crashed into a

meteorite. They had left the solar system

to search for the mysterious sailing ship

the Skull and the secret of F01.

When they were attacked by Commander

Makara's battle cruiser and sent into the

graveyard of space. I'll

be all right. Thank you, everyone.

Tell me, what's the damage to the ship?

Shields holding. Damage minimal. But. But

what?I'm afraid we've been pulled right

down into the black hull, Doctor Ben. We

can't break away. I see.

We're really in a mess this time. You've

heard about this place?Yes.

Sargasso, The graveyard of space.

Graveyard. Graveyard. Looks

more like a junkyard.

All we need to do is to wait until that

power runs out.

The gravitational pull of a black hole is

incredibly strong. We must break out of

it or we'll be stranded in it forever.

Gentlemen, some ideas quickly.

There isn't a moment to be lost. Sorry,

Doctor. We didn't learn about this in the

Academy. That's just great, Hercules.

Always on top of a crisis. Sure makes one

feel safe. Well, I have no intention of

dying here. Gosh sakes.

What's happening?Energy scanners low on

power. Force field failing. Well, why are

we standing around?Let's go.

Doctor Ben, what's happening to us?The

immense gravitational pull of the black

hole is drawing all the power out of the

ship at an increasing rate. Shiro,

find out how much power is left. Yes,Sir.

Doctor, how about you?Got any ideas?

We'll switch all auxiliary power to the

main engines. We might be able to break

free if we drain all power from our

weapon systems. Energy

level low, Doctor. It's below quantum

level. That low. That's

bad. We can't fire the laser blast below

quantum power. Lee, direct all

power to the main engines right now.

We'll have to gamble on it, boys. Yes,

Sir.

Kirara, what can we possibly do to help

them?

Why am I here?Take me to the c*ck

immediately. Hurry, take me to the Your

mechanism has to be repaired first before

you can return to any form of active

service. That is absurd. I'm perfectly

normal. The square root of the altron

equation is easy. Try to rest your

circuits. This is absurd. I am completely

well now.

Hey, look, what was that?What

is it, John Lee?An object passed through

the lower quadrant. I'm sure of it.

That's impossible. No ship smaller than

X b*mber could pass through that

gravitational force field. Not unless

it had some unknown source of mass

central energy. That's it. An Imperial

Alliance trace. The Alliance.

Don't you see?If we can only follow that

trace of theirs, we might be able to find

an exit. Return to your stations. Yes,

Sir.

Commander Makara, we should attack the X

b*mber now without delay. A little

patience, Captain. Are you

really so hungry for your moment of glory?

Hungry for the glory of the Alliance?

Don't forget I am the chosen emissary

of the Alliance. At your orders,

Commander. But while the X b*mber drifts

helplessly without power. She can so

easily be destroyed. And then

F01 will finally be ours.

Yours. I mean, you plead your case. Well,

Captain, we will attack. Yes, by

your divine guidance.

Quantum power, the main engines.

All burners normal. Ready to fire.

Electric system normal. All set. Stand

by. We've only got one shot at this. Good

luck. Start main engines now.

Starting main engines.

X b*mber is moving sub quantum speed

through the lower quadrant.

They found the exit. They mustn't reach

it. We must stop them.

Launch Imperial fighters.

Identify unmarkedly. It ain't so easy,

Hercules. Radar system's weak. It's not

picking everything up. If it's

Commander Makara, tell her I'm ready for

her every time. Hercules, hold it.

We mustn't take the power from the main

engines, but. Doctor. Hey,

Astro fighters, 5:00. You hear that?We

just got to sit here and not fight.

Hercules, you can't fire the lasers

without power. I know.

Darn it, Doctor. We can't just sit here

twiddling our thumbs. Look out.

Moving in behind the fighters is an

Imperial Battle Cruiser quantum speed.

Now what?Evasive tactics.

It's all we can do. But Doctor, we can't

avoid them forever. Follow my orders.

Evasive maneuvers. Yes, Sir.

Try and avoid us, X Bummer.

If you can, all the better for us.

Use up the last of your quantum power.

There is nowhere for you to go. You can't

escape. We have you this time, X

Bummer.

Doctor. They're making fools of us. We've

got to make a stand. We can't do that.

The risk is too great. Our power is

draining with every second. We've got to

save it. But Doctor.

All right, fighter, stop all engines and

stand by. Concentrate all power in the

main Shields. Yes, Sir.

Hercules, start the attack. Yes, Sir.

Chyro on your side. Yes, Sir.

Come and get us, Makara.

So you have stopped trying to escape.

Stay and rot in your grave, X b*mber.

Recall Imperial fighters.

Look at that. They're turning back.

Doctor, what's all that about?Just

as I thought, they forced us to use up

the precious energy we had. We've still

got enough power left for a laser blast.

Yes, one blast. Or with some

luck, if the cells can be recharged, we

make a second blast. We have to

have enough power. To use our X

impulse as a last resort. How

accurate can we be?Tough sh**ting,

Sir. With no radar to follow, we'll be

firing blind. No target. Won't know where

they are until it's too late. We'll wait

until they fire upon us. Then we'll know

their position. Boys, it's on

to your stations. Red alert. Yes, Doctor.

Battle stations. Hercules. You bet.

Lee. Try and get a fix on their position.

Yes, Sir. Ready to go, Doctor.

X-b*mber's last moment has come.

Prepare laser torpedoes. Your command.

We've been hit. Lee, anything yet?They'll

be in range soon enough. They're

here. I found them. Sector 7

quadrant. Two of them so far. Adequate

power and main shield. I've got one in my

sights. Standby, laser blast. Fire now.

Firing now.

Direct hit. Nice sh**ting,

Hercules.

Uh oh, here comes another one, guys. Darn

it. We're losing power.

Gyro. Direct auxiliary power.

Recharge main shield. Yes, Sir.

Guess we're going to get it now. There's

one thing, pal. We're going down

fighting. Gyro. Full power yet?It takes

time to recharge the main shield. Hurry

it up, can't you?We must

celebrate our great victory. What

beautiful fireworks. And I'm the

cause of all this. Full

power through to main shield now, right?

Fire laser blast firing

now.

Aurion. They have defeated you once

again, you fool.

You have disgraced the Alliance. Return

to me at once. Yes, I'm sorry,

Commander.

The battlecruiser is retreating, Sir. How

much power is there?Well, Doctor,

just enough for X impulse. After that,

we'll be down to nothing. Doctor

Ben, shouldn't we

use that last power to get us out of here

and retreat?Lee?Never. Then Starfleet

Command will be destroyed by Commander

Makara. So we use our only chance of

escape to defeat her and stay in this

graveyard. But Lee Makara would only come

after us, and we can't outrun an Alliance

battlecruiser in this condition. Hey,

what's that?Look, her

battlecruiser.

Doctor, your only salvation

is to hand over the one who

contacted the sailing ship. The Skull.

Surrender. You have no choice. Surrender

is a word not found in the Academy

manual. Well then, Doctor

Ben, you'll be buried in this graveyard

of space.

Well, gentlemen, our priority is to

defeat that alien battle cruiser.

We will use our last ion of energy on the

X impulse. Switch off all circuits except

communication systems. Yes, Doctor,

electrics off.

Gyro, stand by to launch right.

Ready to launch X Impulse.

Oh, fire in the engineering room.

Hercules. See to it on my way.

Every level holding at sub quantum.

Darn it. It's out of control.

Lamia. Oh, thank you.

Shyro, hurry up. I don't want to sound

nervous, but we're going to get a salvo

of laser torpedoes anytime now. Main

shield recharged. X

impulse fire now.

Look out. We're not going to be there.

What is it?

Fellas, we did it.

The fire has been extinguished. Are you

all right in here?

Yes, we're fine. Take your

positions. Yes, Doctor.

Hey, Lee. How about some lights?Shiro.

I don't want to rub it in, but we have no

power. Electric systems, laser

systems, all dead. What?

You're right. We can't

just drift around here forever. Lee.

Any idea how far we are from the earth?

Too far to get home and nowhere else to

go. What did we call this place?

The graveyard of space. Lee, you're

not making it any better.

A battlecruiser, even ex-b*mber,

is just one piece of junk without power.

Oh, Shyro,

I'm sorry. This is this is all my fault.

You should have let me go to them.

Lamia, please don't cry like that.

We took our best shot against the most

aggressive enemy, an enemy

destructive to all humanoid life. I don't

think we did too badly.

Pretty song, BPA, but ain't gonna get us

out of here.

Listen, everyone. The oxygen system's

been damaged. It won't be long before we

run out of air. There's no chance of

survival. We have many things to do

before the end. 1st we must record all

our data in the logbook. But

Doctor, what use is the logbook

if no one's ever going to see it?

No doubt. In a Millennium, this

graveyard of space we're trapped in will

be colonized. The wreck of X-b*mber

will be found. It's our duty to leave a

record. Lamia,

open a hailing frequency ship to ship.

Maybe someone will hear it. Of course,

Doctor, I'll do it right away.

To the sailing ship the Skull.

I'm trying to contact you. We

were forced into the black hole by an

Imperial Alliance attack.

We are now drifting in space without

power. If you receive this

message, please contact Starfleet Command

on Earth. What's that?

Now what?What's happening?The ship, it

started moving.

We're being pulled by some sort of

tractor beam. Controls aren't responding.

Look, there's something in front of us.

Hey, pinch me, guys. I think we're going

to get out of here.

We're out of the black hole, Doctor. I

always said we'd get out. Look at that.

We can see the stars again. Look,

isn't that the

It's the skull. You're right. So they got

us out of there. Shiro, approach that

ship. Can't do it.

Not enough power. Sub quantum level.

Hey, it's sailing away from us,

Doctor Ben. Is that sailing ship the

skull on our side, or do you think?I

think it must be, or it wouldn't have

pulled us out and saved our lives, right?

Lucky it was around. Sure it was. Wish

they'd stayed around to be thanked. This

is the only life I've got, and I'm kind

of fond of it.

Now we've got to find a friendly planet

somewhere in the vicinity so we can

repair the ship and restore our energy,

Sir. Kirara, let me go.

I am in perfect working order. Perfect.

You here. Let me go. Kirara, let him go.

His circuit should be working now that

we're out of the black hole. But I told

you that all along, all along. But you

wouldn't listen to me, would you stubborn

socks?Thank you for nursing me, Lamia.

Doulou.

The skull. You saved us.

Who are you?

What reason did the mysterious sailing

ship the Skull have for saving X b*mber?

Does Lamia hold the secret of F01?

The Earth is still under threat from the

Imperial Alliance. Only Doctor Ben and

the crew of X Bombers stand in their way.

On the planet Alaria, a volcanic eruption

detonated by the Alliance threatens the

safety of Doctor Ben and his crew.

Why are the strange inhabitants of the

planet preventing X-b*mber from taking

off?Don't miss the next episode of

Starfleet.

Send a message out across the

sky

Starfleet, Starfleet.

Starfleet, Starfleet.

Tell the people back out of

control.

Send Starfleet Legions to say their

souls.

Always daring

Only they can save us Starfleet,
