01x04 - Wipe Out the Transport Fleet

Post by bunniefuu »

Space Pilot Hagenson. Space

Pilot John Lee. And I'm Barry

Hercules, Dog.

In order to reconstruct Pluto Alpha Base,

which had been destroyed by the Imperial

Alliance, Starfleet Command sent

transport cruisers to Pluto, each of them

carrying materials and staff.

Urgent signal for you, Sir.

Our transport cruisers 1-2 and three have

not yet arrived at Pluto Alpha Base. They

should have arrived by now. What

communications have you received recently?

Last one was at 469 space-time, then

complete radio silence. No emergency or

distress calls?Nothing. It's as if they

suddenly no longer existed. And then the

Alliance has returned.

Right, Carana, clean that up. There's a

good boy. Pull it away. Make it spick and

span. Remember, a gleaming

ship is an efficient ship. Keep

polishing, Carana. That's

right. Scravage till it gleams.

Gentlemen, I have more grave news for

you. 3 transport cruisers are missing.

Three of them. They were on their way to

Pluto base with building materials and

supplies. Gee, I'd make a guess it's that

Commander Makara. I agree. Could be the

Alliance. We've had orders from Starfleet

Command. We're to defend the next group

of transport ships. Prepare for take-off

immediately. Yes, Doctor. Yes, Doctor.

Do you hear that, Carrara?We have to

leave again. I

wonder when there will ever be peace

again for us.

Check systems. Quantum power OK. All our

laser systems are OK. Electric

systems OK. Temperature and pressure are

normal. Communication systems OK.

Wait, there's a call from Starfleet

Command. It's coming through on video

panel. Doctor. And the crew of

X b*mber be ready to launch. The other

transport cruisers began their journey at



them. X b*mber is ready to launch,

General. God be with you and good luck to

you all. Thank you, General. Commence

main engine secrets. Commencing main

engines now.

Launch now.

Still no sign of Moonbase.

Commander Makara, we are keeping Moonbase

under constant surveillance. An

ex-b*mber. Is there any sign of her at

all?No movement. None. I told you,

Commander, we have crippled her. She's

finished. Starfleet Command has no

adequate defence now. Once our base here

on Jupiter is completed, we can strike

at the Earth. They must have realized by

this time that their transport cruisers

have disappeared. Commander, the ex

b*mber manacruiser has lifted off from

moon base. What's that?Not so crippled as

you thought, Captain Orion. No,

Commander, it's heading into deep space

at 50 past X. I was hoping this

would happen. Yes, this time we will

destroy it. Please give me the command. I

shall see. Meanwhile, contact the rest of

the feat of asteroid belt by your divine

guidance. Yes. Now come to us, X b*mber.

We await you patiently. We will

greet you as we greeted your transport

cruisers. Come to me, to

me, to me.

Lee, start the time scan sensor. Yes,

Sir. Patching it through to

the screen.

Coming through clear, Sir. No

interference. Now we can trace the

disappearance of the transport cruisers.

Lee, monitor progress of transport

cruisers. Right, Sir. Do it diligently.

I'll give it a shot. Look, we'll

pass by Mars.

That's my planet, Mars.

I wonder why I was left there.

Lee, look there on the screen.

Something's happening. You caught me

napping, PPA. Gyro, watch your helm. This

is the quadrant where they disappeared.

Yes, Sir.

There, the trace has vanished. This is

where the transport ships disappeared.

But where have they gone?Right.

Chiro, stand by to stop the ship. Right.

It's a great little spot for an ambush.

Stop the ship. Main engines cut, Sir.

We're slowing down now.

Hold positions. Yellow alert. All ships.

Yes, Sir.

An alien cruiser.

Transport cruisers retreat quickly.

Hercules. They're coming. Stand by with

Shields. Shields. Ray, Doctor. Hercules.

Shields up. Shields up, Doctor.

Here they come.

Doctor. It works. It works.

Hercules ready to attack?Ready to

attack, Doctor.

Fire. Fire.

We made it 45 to starboard.

Fire now.

Good job again. Come on. Fire. Ready

now. Fire quickly. Come on. They're

getting away. I need up. Fire now. Quiet,

you pile of circuits.

Now, you

imbecile. You cannot destroy one

battleship. There must

be a way. We can lure them back to our

base. The work on Jupiter is

almost completed by your divine command.

That X-b*mber won't come within 50

millitons of our base. I have an idea,

Commander. What if we lie in wait for it

under the methane sea?All right,

see to it by your divine guidance.

Stand by at your command.

Set cost for the methane sea.

Shiro, head for Jupiter. Jupiter, Sir.

You saw the size of their fleet. A task

force that size couldn't have come from a

distant base. Do you really think

that they've established a new base

somewhere out there?Gosh, no

other explanation. And my educated guess

is they've chosen Jupiter. Jupiter sounds

right. Start engines.

Good. Get ready.

Now you know what to do. Captain Orion.

This time we will destroy that alien

ship. Yes, Doctor.

Commander, we are ready to fire.

That's good. All set. Wait,

Commander. Hold your fire. There's no

hurry. Take your time in destroying them.

Doctor, look at that. It's their base,

all right. Hey, look at the size of it.

Just like you said, Doctor. It's their

base. Let's go for it. Blow it sky high.

Yes. Battle stations, men. Yes,

Doctor.

Stand by. Direct approach. Standing by,

Doctor.

Hard to port. Hard to port, sir.

Laser torpedoes. We'll destroy it with

one attack. Yes, doctor.

Torpedoes ready.

Watch out, Lee. Someone firing from

behind. Large alien ship coming upbehind.

Madara's advocate moving in. This is a

trap.

You are going nowhere.

Invincible X-b*mber, except to

your own destruction. Laser missiles from

base. Stand by missiles from base. Stand

by the fire. Fire now.

Take us up. Full throttle, Shyro.

Full throttle. Taking her up, Doctor.

Right engine's been hit. Convert power

to main shield.

Doctor, look, we'll be destroyed! Hurry!

We'll be destroyed! Shyro,

maintain evasive maneuvers. Right away,

sir.

She's been hit, Kiranda!

They wave and dance, but they can't

escape us. Keep them in the

quadrant above our base.

Gyro, Hercules, Lee, get

ready to launch. Ready, Doctor.

Leave X-b*mber to me. I'll manage her.

You three attack their base by the Die X.

Got it. The Doctor. We can't just leave

you here without a crew in X-b*mber.

You're wasting time. Doctor knows what

he's doing. Quiet, Android. Please hurry.

Yes, hurry. Hope your circuits fuse. I

heard that. Said he hoped my circuits

would fuse. Lamia.

Will you be all right?Don't worry. We'll

make these things wish they'd stayed in

the Thalian zone. Good luck, Shiro. I'll

go to the control room and help the

doctor. Let's go, Shiro.

Hate to break up the party.

Let's go.

Stand by there. Launch out now.

Quickly.

Braincom taking off.

Main body taking off.

Leg track taking off.

Let's go, Hercules. All ready.

We'll attack from above. That leaves you

on the ground. You got it. Go.

Good luck down there, gentlemen.

Going in.

Look out!

This is Lee. I've landed. These boys

don't play around. Moving forward now.

Oh, there's no sh**ting from behind.

Pull yourself together, PPA.

You see, the defenses have weakened. Go

in for the k*ll.

Hold on tight, Lamia. PPA on your feet.

Trying more evasive measures.

Aurion, what's happened at the base?No

damage at base. Their fighters can't get

close enough. Our defenses are strong.

Good. The time has come to finish

them off.

Steady right this time.

John.

Shiro, I can't sh**t. There are rocks in

the way. The same here. Lee,

how about you?

I'm being used for a little target

practice. Right. Change course, Lee.

Hercules die X together. Okay. Okay

Lake track docking, standby.

Main body, docking now.

Braincon, about to dock.

Now, we'll land and then attack the base.

I like it.

Let him have it. Leave it to me.

The 0-1-2.

Hey, one at your foot! I see it.

Hercules, on your left!

They're dug in everywhere. So many.

Let's use the super cannon.

Fire!

What is happening?Orian,

answer me at once.

Our base is totally destroyed. What?

What is this monster?I

don't know, Commander. It must be a new

weapon Starfleet has developed. So

a new weapon. Where did they?

Yes, a new weapon. What should we do,

Commander?Retreat. We cannot fight them

without a base. But Commander Makara,

you had your orders. Retreat. By

your divine guidance. Retreat.

Yes, Commander, I am standby to retreat.

Full power main engine.

Look, Doctor, the battle cruise is

retreating. Well, Lamia, Diax has proven

itself. Yes. This is

Doctor Ben. Shiro. Hercules. Lee.

Congratulations. Thank you, Sir.

We are saved, PPA. Oh, thank goodness for

that. Oh, they took their time.

The transport cruisers for the

reconstruction of Pluto Alpha Base all

arrived safely, but Commander Makara and

the Imperial Alliance were not going to

give up.

Responding to a mysterious call from deep

space, Lamia rendezvous with the

intergalactic sailing ship Skull. But

before they can meet, the Alliance

attacks, and Lamia can only watch

helplessly. Will Commander Makara at last

possess F01?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 back out of

control.

Send Starfleet Legions to save our

souls.

Always daring and courageous.

Only they can save us Starfleet,

Starfleet Starfleet,

Starfleet
