01x10 - Galaxy Adrift

[bunniefuu]

Space Pilot Hagenson. Space

Pilot John Lee. And I'm

Barry Hercules, Doc.

Because of repeated failures against

Starfleet,Commander Makara was summoned

back to the Imperial Alliance

headquarters in the Thalian Zone to face

the anger of the Imperial Master.

She narrowly escaped execution and

resumed her quest for the F01

with a new battle plan.

Where in this Galaxy is the skull?

It saved our lives and then it

disappeared. Before we could contact it.

I don't understand. Shyro. Oh,

Lamia.

Shyro, what are you doing here?

Nothing. Just contemplating the emptiness

out there. How vast it is, this Galaxy.

Yes, it stretches beyond our

comprehension. It's so enormous,

one feels a human being counts for so

little. No, you mustn't measure your

worth against the vastness of space.

And somewhere in that vastness is the

sailing ship the Skull, now lost to us

again. Shiro, you mustn't give up.

Of course I won't. But there is no answer

to our hailing frequency. No response at

all.

Have you not yet located the X b*mber?

Our time span to capture the F01 is

only 6 Earth months. We have no time to

waste. Commander, we do not even know if

this F01 is on board the X b*mber

or still hidden somewhere on the Earth.

No, the one who tried to contact the

sailing ship the Skull is F01.

I know it.

If she is F01, she's still on

board the X-b*mber, I'm sure. Then that's

why the Skull attempted to contact the

X-b*mber in order to get

F01. But of course, that is why we

must keep the sailing ship away from

X-b*mber Orient. But how, Commander?It's

Commander Makara.

Put me in command and I guaranteed the

destruction of X-b*mber. Do not trust

him. Why, Captain Carter, I

do find it strange that a former captain

of Starfleet Command should make such an

offer. Commander, fear no deception.

Captain Carter has been brainwashed by

the Ultra Solar Rays. Our

loyalty to the Earth has been wiped from

his mind. He is one of us now, Captain

Carter. Your heroic deeds on Earth are

well known to us. Your data informs

us you are a truly remarkable man. Thank

you, Commander. From this moment, you

will use every endeavor on my behalf.

Your skills will help the Imperial

Alliance to final victory. By your divine

guidance, my commander.

Such loyalty, Captain Orion.

Now learn how it should be done.

Quiet, fool.

X-b*mber, you won't get away

this time.

Well, PBA, any feedback from the trace?

Nothing. Nothing at all. I'd say they're

in some other quadrant of space, Dr.

Militants from us. Keep monitoring. I

know it's a slim chance that they'll pick

up our signal. But it's essential that we

contact the Skull. My favorite pastime

wandering in galactic space, doing

absolutely nothing, if you know what I

mean. All those stars around us. Magical.

It's not. Yeah, especially when we're low

on power and running out of food adds a

sense of panic to the mission. Yeah, but

I still got my chocolate cookies,

Hercules. Mm, they're

really good. By the way, what's happened

to Shyro?He is sleep or something. He's

late. Oh,

no, he's not. Sorry I'm late. Much too

long a rest period. Take your position

immediately. OK, OKA human

brain is not electronic like a robot's.

We need to recharge our bodies. Yes, our

secretary is superior. Yours is a little

confused. Now, PPA, a little human

courtesy wouldn't harm you. Sorry, not

programmed for courtesy. It's funny. We

haven't seen Commander Makara for some

time. I wonder why. I'll tell you why.

It's because we're gradually drifting out

into the wilderness of space. You mean

even she's given us up?Lee, contact

Starfleet Command. Yes, Sir.

Starfleet Command. Starfleet Command.

This is X b*mber. Do you copy?

This is X b*mber. Starfleet Command. Do

you copy?Starfleet Command, please copy.

There's no response. We're too far out

for them to receive our signal, Doctor.

But that's not possible. We can't be too

far out to communicate with them. Our

communication is intergalactic. Try

again. Calling Starfleet Command.

Do you copy?No response, Doctor. We're

completely cut off. Keep trying, Lee.

Wait a minute. Picking up a signal on the

trace. It's the skull. What?It

says it's waiting on the planet Zenith.



good to hear from an old friend. Alter

course, 18 degrees. Alpha sector. Full

quantum speed ahead. Full quantum speed

ahead.

Well, there's the planet Zenith.

Gosh, hey, look at that greenery.

Looks like the whole of the planet is

swarming with life.

V, try and make contact with the skull

again. Yes, Doctor. The skull. Do

you copy?This is X b*mber. Dr.

Ben, establish contact.

Excellent. The

skull is at position X5 on the stellar

map. OK, right.

Prepare for landing. Yes, Doctor.

Descending right now.

Look, there it is, Doctor.

That's the skull. All right. Looks like

it's floating on a sea of trees. Doctor,

we have been instructed to land on the

sea of trees in front of the skull.

Very well. We'll follow that instruction.

Landing procedures.

Touchdown accomplished. Good. Don't

shut down the engines. Why?In

case of an emergency, I want to be able

to launch immediately. Doctor, I like

your style. Lee, open hailing frequency.

Yes, Sir. Ship to ship open, Sir. This

is Doctor Ben, commander of X b*mber. Do

you copy?I would like to talk to the

Captain of the Skull.

But why?Why don't they respond?Yeah,

there seems to be something wrong.

Starting to smell like a rat. Captain

of the Skull, please answer me.

Why did you enter our solar system and

why did you contact the one you called

your compatriot?Do you read me, Captain?

Skull, we've made contact in

order to clarify certain facts. The

secret of the F-01 is

your compatriot whom you seek F-01.

And we must know, what is the

importance of the F-01?

Skull, do you read me?

Doctor, why don't they answer us?I

don't like it. I'm getting very bad vibes

here.

Nothing, but the frequency is still open.

Doctor, let me try to talk to them.

Perhaps they want to talk to me and no

one else. All right, you may try, Lamia.

Captain of the Skull, this is Lamia. I'm

the compatriot who responded to your call

and tried to reach your ship. I have the

pendant that will assure you who I am.

I'm wearing it now.

Captain of the skull. If you want me to

come alone, then I will. Lamia, you

can't go alone. Doctor, you mustn't let

her. Doctor. Yes, they

confirm she has to go alone. It could be

a trap, Doctor. I'm ready. Please let me

go now. No, wait, Lamia. Not yet.

As Hercules said, this could be a trap

specially designed for you. It is the

skull. But why don't they show themselves?

It may be that we put too much trust in

this sailing ship. You're right, Doctor.

There's something pretty fishy going on

around here, you know?Gentlemen, I don't

like the look of this. Gyro, take us out

of here fast. Yes, Sir.

Dr. Ben, your apprehension is

well-founded, but it's just a little

late. You can't take off. Just try

it. What are you saying?Your power

boosters have stirred up the sea of

trees. Can you not feel their violence

all around you?

Look.

Pressure on both sides, sir. What do we

do?Shiro, take her up now. Sir,

main burners,

Darn. She won't move.

Resume contact. Identify yourself.

What the?

Oh, the skull is disappearing. It's

vanishing. It was never really

there. It's only a hologram. The

Alliance.

We just can't break free. Shiro, you'd

better stop. The trees are reacting

violently because of our burners, just

like he said. That's great. You mean to

say the stronger the jet stream, the more

violent the trees will become?Gosh, what

do we do now, Shiro?Right. Stop main

engines. We'll just have to wait.

I tell you, I'd like to find out who's

playing these dumb games with us. Uh,

alien ship approaching lower quadrant.

Well, just as expected, Commander

Makara's Alliance Battle Cruiser. Good.

This time we'll really blast him right

out of the sky. Just how?It can't be

done. Remember, we've only have power.

Hercules, hold fire. Let me try reason

one more time. Calling ship to ship.

Alien Commander, you have been seeking

F01, and so have we. What is the

secret that drives you to violate the

peace of the solar system?You'll

understand its power soon enough. Do you

really think I'd let you into its secret,

Dr. Ben?Now stop stalling and hand Lamia

over. What are you saying?Tell us what

you want with her. We know it was Lamia

who was contacted by the skull. We also

know she was the one who tried to get to

it. Hand her over, Doctor. I'll go to

them. Please don't stop me. At least

we'll know at last what F01 is.

No, Lamia, you can't go.

Your time is running out. If Lamia

doesn't step outside X-b*mber

immediately, we will attack.

My dear, I cannot let you go.

Even if you are F01, more especially if

you are, I will not ever.

We must not allow ourselves to be

intimidated by these Barbarians. But

Doctor, you are in trouble because of me.

Listen to me. You are as precious to us

as life itself. We'll find some way out.

Doctor Ben, your time is up. Lamia has

not left your ship. All of you prepare to

die. Fire lasers.

Darn it. These creepers are cramping my

style.

Enemy attacking from 6th Quadrant. All

right, prepare to take off. We can't move

from here now, Doctor. The vines are

wrapped all around us. Move. We're

wasting time by attacking us. They're

setting us free. Setting us free.

Stupid boy. So slow in reaction. Setting

us free. Fair attack will damage the X

b*mber, but it will also damage the

vines, and so we'll be able to escape.

Now you understand positions for takeoff.

As soon as the vines are burnt by their

lasers, we move. Quantum speed fullahead.

Kirara, we have to stay here. We

haven't any choice if

X b*mber is destroyed. We'll die

together. At least that way they won't

get F01.

Now, Shyro, take her up.

Firing burners.

X b*mber. You can struggle all you want.

You're not going anywhere except your

grave.

Look, Doctor Ben, your efforts are

useless. After we interrogate Lamia,

we'll return her to you. So please

cooperate. You hear that?What do you want

to do, Doctor?He said he'd return her to

us afterwards. You don't think you can

trust what they say, do you?Darn it,

Doctor. These vines are tying me up in

knots.

You're very stubborn, Dr. Ben. Well,

you leave me no choice but to blow you to

pieces. Stand by with the delta laser.

Delta laser is ready, Sir. The delta

laser that will destroy the entire

planet. I have never had to resort to

the ultimate weapon. Ha ha.

Well, the captain learned much from his

brainwashing. Not many, even in the

Alliance, know about our secret delta

laser.

Delta laser in position, Sir. Good. The

target is X b*mber. Is that right to fire?

Holy. What's happening out there?The

skull is right on my quadrant.

What?Defeat the skull first. X b*mber can

wait till later.

Hey, they stopped attacking. The skull

in right upper quadrant. What?

The real skull?No hologram.

We must seize the moment. Quickly, take

her up, Shiro. But how?How, sir?

First, all power from outer shields, then

transfer from main shields and lift off.

Dangerous, but our only chance. Let's go

for it, Sir.

Now, forward thrust.

We did it, Sir. We're free of the trees.

Thank you, Skull. You saved us

once again.

No major damage from attack, sir. You

made it this time, Doctor, but you won't

escape the next time we meet.

The skull is getting away, Commander.

Getting away?F-01 was nearly

ours. Go after the skull and

destroy it. Then we will deal

with X-b*mber.

That was very close. Sure was.

What about the skull, Doctor?We can't let

Makara blow it to pieces. You're right.

Change course. We must go to their aid.

Look,

Captain, that skull is fleeing at

hyper-speed. We can't keep up with it.

Let it go, turmoids. I'll devise a new

battle plan. Is this an example,

Captain, of how it should be done?You're

responsible for the attack. Explain its

failure if you can. Commander Makara,

we need no longer follow this worthless

fool. You're wrong, as usual, Orion.

I find Captain Carter's tactics quite

excellent. Captain. Well done.

I look forward to your next battle plan.

Thank you, Commander. It's not

fair. We can't

keep up with the skull, Doctor. We must

be losing power. As I feared, we've

sustained damage to main Shields.

PPAI want damage reports. Yes, Doctor, I

will give you a thorough report.

I wonder where Commander Makara was

during that last attack. That new

commander's voice reveals me of. Sorry,

Sir.

X b*mber escaped from the sea of trees

and renewed its search for the skull, but

its power generators were now badly

damaged. Would they be ready to face the

next challenge from the Imperial Battle

Cruiser's mysterious new commander of

operations?

On a strange, devastated planet, Shyro

and the crew of Die X respond to a call

for help. But the planet is haunted by

the curse of w*r, and our three young

pilots are faced with a battle for their

lives. Will Die X prevail?Don't

miss the next episode of Starfleet.

Send a message out across the

sky

Alien raiders just past January

night

Who will come and save us now?

Who can defend us from that

power?Starfleet,

Starfleet.

Starfleet, Starfleet.

Tell the people that kind of

control.

Send Starfleet Legions to save their

souls.

Always daring and courageous.

Only they can save

us Starfleet,

Starfleet

Starfleet, Starfleet
