what's wrong with board number four?
I'm getting a lot of abnormal interference.
'What the devil is that?'
increase it to 20 magnification and project it.
'Yes, sir.'
that's an asteroid.
Check it out, quick.
Freeze it on the video.
Have you got that course figured yet?
Here it is, sir.
A collision course with earth.

general , here's the final answer.
Now, this confirms my first guess.
The only answer's to blast that thing out of the sky.
We'll never make it, chief. It's coming too fast.
We'll just have to move faster.
- General? - Yes.
Commander rankin is here, sir.
Send him into my private office.
- What's rankin doing here? - I sent for him.
But he's tendered his resignation.
You can't send him on a mission
where chances of survival are zero, and you know it.
He's still the top officer of my command.
I'd have absolute confidence in him
no matter what we're faced with.
And I'll be go to hell if i know what we are faced with.
How are you, chief? It's been a while.
Not bad, still putti" on little weight.
So I see.
Rankin and Elliott..
Best space team we ever had.
Yeah, Vince and i did pretty well for a while
till I ruined it.
No one's ever accused you of that
except yourself.
No, not officially.
But what's on your mind?
You didn't ask me over here to discuss my personal problems.
That's right.
Take a look.
This is the asteroid flora.
We sighted it moving towards earth less than two hours ago.
- How did it get out of orbit? - We don't know.
At this juncture, i don't care.
'Now, here's flora.'
'and here we are, the earth.'
flora, that's a class two asteroid.
Right, close to six million tons of rock.
And at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning..
...it'll collide with earth.
That's less than ten hours.
That's right. Ten hours.
Well, can't it be diverted? Set up a force shield?
We've run her through comp analysis.
There's only one solution.
And?
I think you know what it is.
That means blast it.
Three trimegaton units placed on that thing--
and there'll be nothing left but dust.
Who's in command of the mission?
To my mind, there's only one man with the necessary experience.
But under the circumstances, he would..
...have to volunteer.
I take it I'm the volunteer?
Here are the operating orders
and there's a flight waiting at lowry field.
Your operating base will be gamma 3.
Everything you need will be assembled up there.
You don't have time to waste.
And if I don't make it?
Then don't come back down.
Because there won't be anything to come back down to.
Jack, you know what your chances are about running that blast.
Yeah, I know.
You'll be in full operational charge of gamma 3
and the mission until it's completed.
Presently, gamma 3 is commanded by Vince Elliott.
Elliott, huh?
I guess today is my lucky day.
Jack?
Good luck.
- Good luck. - I'll do my best.
I'll see what I can do about the promotion.
Commander, we just passed through zero gravity.
Right. What's our eta?
'We're due to dock in 30 minutes and 11 seconds.'
commander Elliott, the cruiser is in the approach beam.
Thank you very much. That's all.
Martin, I want that ship brought in like a crate of eggs.
Right. Commander, the talk is that Jack rankin's coming up.
That's right, he's on that ship.
Does that mean that he takes over?
That's exactly what it means.
Now since that's the way it is
let's be sure that's the way it is, huh?
Yes, sir.
'Vince?'
- I've heard. - You heard what?
They're sending Jack rankin up.
Why, it's your command.
I guess chief figures he's the best man for it, that's all.
I don't believe it. There must be another reason.
Oh, he'll get the job done, alright
with no ifs, ands, or buts. In spite of anything.
Or anybody.
You won't be going with him, will you?
That's up to him.
Vince, don't let anything start up again.
That's up to him, too.
Try to remember that once you were the best of friends.
Alright, Lisa, I'll try to remember, alright?
And listen, darling.
You don't have the slightest reason to be jealous of him.
He doesn't mean anything to me anymore.
You sure?
Alright.
Would you like to join the welcoming community, hmm?
I told him I never wanted to see him again. I still mean it.
'Commander?'
good to see you again, Vince. It's been a while.
Welcome aboard, sir. You're right on schedule. So are we.
Think you can get me loaded and off in 20 minutes?
No sweat.
I'm hans halvorsen, commander.
- Station's space consultant. - Good evening.
This is Michaels, my assistant. We'll be going with you.
I'm sorry, doctor, you're not included in my orders
and I can't be held up.
Excuse me, sir, but your orders were modified a short while ago.
In that case, we leave in 20 minutes.
- I won't be in the way. - I hope not.
With your permission, sir, I'd like to go along.
But your place is here, Vince, and you know it.
Captain Martin is capable of taking over, sir.
One hundred percent.
I'm glad you feel that way.
Consider yourself in.
What the hell are they waiting for?
They've only been there five minutes.
They damn well better get a move on.
Launching area, all clear.
Guidance system checkout, stand by.
'Standing by.'
gyro regulator?
Gyro regulator running.
Iron drive?
Iron drive on standby.
'Depressurizing launch area.'
'zero pressure.'
'open main hatch.'
here's where the number one unit will operate.
That'll be you, sergeant Scott, and myself.
Yes, sir.
Takes us to the number two position, will you.
Number two unit, that'll be your party, Vince.
Work here.
Lt. Morris, you'll be in charge of third group
working at the landing area directly from the ship.
Are there any questions, gentlemen?
Take her in.
Everybody reading me loud and clear?
'It's 1:53.'
'deadline for rendezvous with the ship is 2:45.'
'any question?'
no, commander.
Let's move.
Come on, lads.
Little faster.
This place looks as good as any.
That does it, let's go.
'It won't start.'
- what is it? - I don't know.
Let's go, sergeant. We'll have to abandon the equipment.
Where's Elliott?
- He isn't back yet. - Oh, that's great.
Look, here he comes now.
'Space central to commander rankin.'
'space central to commander rankin.'
this is rankin, go ahead.
Jack, that damn thing you're on is accelerating.
- Do you hear me? - I read you.
Detonation time has to be moved up to 3 o'clock.
It's 2:40 now. We can't possibly outrun the blast.
There's no alternative.
Do you realize what you're asking?
I realize what I'm asking.
'3 o'clock.'
3 o'clock.
Detonation hour has been changed to 3 o'clock.
- That's impossible. - That's what I said.
Change the device and get everybody on board.
Where the hell is halvorsen?
I don't know.
Get everybody on board.
You're gonna give him a few minutes?
- There isn't time-- - you can't leave him here!
You made this mistake once before.
'Commander?'
commander rankin.
Look, it's pulsating. It's alive.
Get rid of it.
But this is a major discovery.
'You can't bring it with you.'
now everybody, get on board.
They finally got off.
But they'll never outrun that blast.
They got away alright, but they've only got three minutes
to outrun that blast.
Pour it on, Morris. Give it everything she's got.
She'll break up!
We're over ten g's now. We can't take much more.
I said increase the speed.
Activate the force shield.
They got through! They got through!
They made it!
You better notify the news media.
Fireworks over the city will need some explaining.
Congratulations, sir.
You really gave us a hell of a scare.
Thanks Martin, and thanks to all of you
for the welcoming committee, but the job isn't over yet.
'Vince.'
Lizzie, you shouldn't be here.
We haven't been through decontamination.
Doctor.
I'm holding you responsible for the decontamination
of material and personnel used on the mission.
I'm familiar with the regulations--
I didn't say you weren't, I'd like them run three times.
Just a minute, doctor.
Three times? Can't spare the equipment that long.
'I've gotta run this station.'
'i said three times, doctor.'
the crew have got more important things to do.
The command reverts to you when the mission
is completed, and I leave. That's the way the orders read.
I suggest you bone up on your regulations.
You should have one of the doctors
look at that arm, commander.
Yeah, that's my next stop.
Oh, Morris.
When you file the report, file it in my name
and commander Elliot's, okay?
Oh, I understand, sir.
Oh, commander!
I'll get a doctor right away.
Don't bother.
'Please be seated, commander.'
qw!
Take it easy, doctor.
I'm so sorry, commander.
You look as though you're sorry.
It's not half of what you deserve, Jack.
You're very kind.
You drop me, get engaged to my best friend
and you still think i deserve more.
I saw your display just now.
Do you have to be so tough on everybody?
So sorry.
Nothing to do with being tough. I get an order, I carry it out.
I give one, I expect the same, right down the line.
That's your trouble.
There's no margin to let other people be wrong.
To fail sometimes.
Yeah, I think that's right.
That's why every time we met, we quarreled.
Be careful, we'll start again.
No, I have no reason to quarrel with you.
It's finished. It's all finished between us.
I wonder.
You have an incredible ego.
Lisa, it's got nothing to do with ego.
Look, Jack, Vince and I have..
Just don't upset things between us, alright?
'Uh, excuse me, commander?'
your circuit to space central, it's ready.
Thanks.
And thanks for taking care of me, doctor.
Anytime.
May I have your attention, everybody?
Here's to flora.
And to your safe return to earth, commander.
Sit this one out.
Jack, how is jb?
Oh, he's about as bad-tempered as ever.
Oh, that's not true.
You know there is nobody in this world
who cares more about you.
I guess you're right. By the way, Vince
the old man sends his very best regards
in his own inimitable way.
Thank you.
He will be glad to hear Lisa and I
are gonna to be married next week.
You can tell him personally.
Congratulations. I'll tell him.
Lisa, I wish you every happiness.
Commander, may l...Dance with your fiancee?
Please do.
I got it.
Jack.
Try to remember I'm engaged.
Why can't you and Vince forget what happened?
He's the one carrying the grudge. I've done all I could.
Well, you didn't have to report him so he had to face enquiry.
Yeah, but we both know the report was true.
He's a nice guy, Lisa. The problem is
he's too nice to be a commanding officer.
Was it a mistake not to sacrifice one of his own men.
You would have done exactly the same.
I doubt it. And if I had, i wouldn't bitch about it.
After all, he sacrificed 10 men to save one.
That's a pretty stupid mistake.
And don't think it hasn't almost destroyed him.
It's killing him.
And you haven't helped any.
You're making a big mistake, Lisa.
You don't love Vince, you pity him.
I'm very happy with him.
You're lying.
You love me.
I told you you had an incredible ego, but it's more than that.
It's-it's unbelievable.
Excuse me.
Oh, my god.
A-a-ah!
There's trouble, sir. Lnthelab.
What kind of trouble?
I think you'd better come, sir.
Alright, follow me. Rest of you, stay here. We'll handle it.
This way, sir.
Over there.
He's dead.
He put up a hell of a fight.
He's been electrocuted.
Electrocuted?
Then why is that room torn up?
Look at this.
It looks like the same substance we found on the asteroid
but it isn't moving.
Well, what's it doing here, doctor?
I don't know.
It's your responsibility, halvorsen.
Set up a search detail, see what you turn up.
Right.
'Unit 6, continue search in a block.'
'unit 6, Roger.'
'this is unit 8.'
'command room to search unit 3"
'command room to unit 8, Roger"
Rogen
command room to search unit 4. Report your position.
'Unit 4 in area 75.'
'car 44, report to lieutenant dreger at j-22 in d-block.'
- what's wrong with your screen? - I don't know, sir.
Command room to electronic maintenance.
Run a check on the power line terminal in c block.
Ah, ah, ah!
Ah, a-a-ah!
Commander Elliot, come to c block power terminal, now.
In there, sir.
We found him here, sir.
He's been electrocuted.
Just like Michaels.
'Emergency call to commander Elliot'
'come to the main power room at once.'
we found something strange up there, sir.
You think that's what killed Michaels?
I don't know.
Let me have that laser.
Stop!
Don't kill it.
Try to save it.
It's a magnificent discovery. We must do everything
to capture it.
- I think we ought to try. - It's already killed two men.
Get rid of it.
And as commander of this station, I say we ought to try.
I'll take full responsibility for it.
Alright, Vince, let's do it your way.
Thank you very much. Now, what do you suggest, doctor?
Well, let's try to paralyze it. Get a gas gun and a net.
Alright.
- Lieutenant Curtis. - 'Sir?'
take some men around the other side.
'Yes, sir.'
- lieutenant Morris. - 'Yes,'
I want a gas gun and a net.
'Right.'
ready with the gas gun, sir.
Right, ready aim.
Fire!
Alright, stand by with the net guns.
Fire!
A-ah!
A-a-ah!
Ah, a-a-ah!
Is there another way out of this corridor?
No, sir. It's a dead end. Only ventilation shaft's down there.
Suppose we try it my way now, Vince.
Now on, I'm in command, Martin.
The order is fire at will. Use discretion, double the guards.
Yes, sir.
You better get down to the infirmary.
Let's go.
I'm sorry, commander.
Hurry.
You were lucky.
You think so, huh?
Are you blaming yourself again?
How's the shoulder?
It's going to be alright, thanks.
I've decided to hang around until we find out
what we're really up against.
I appreciate that, but I can handle it.
I didn't say you couldn't.
I'll feel better if i know everything's alright.
This is my command, I'll manage it. Your orders--
I know what the orders read, Vince.
What do you want me to do? Pull rank on you, forget it.
Wait. Why should I?
You're saying I always screw up, right?
Admit it, you're saying, what happened this morning
it's my fault, right?
Alright, you want it straight. You make too many mistakes.
You're not right for command. Satisfied?
Jack, do you realize this is the first time anything living
has been found anywhere in space.
Do you know how terribly important that is?
Tell that to the wives of the men in the morgue.
Now!
This is monitor 2. C block all clear.
- Area is all secure. - Right.
Command room, launching area, all clear.
'This is monitor 6, d block is all clear.'
how's everything going on outside, captain Martin?
The men are just getting ready to got out there now, sir.
Command room.
Yes. Right.
It's doctor halverson. He's got something in the lab.
He says it very important.
- We better see what he's up to. - He'll be right there.
Commander, this is the fluid sample I found in power room.
Despite it's color, it's obviously blood.
I want you to see this for yourselves.
These cells duplicate faster than anything know to man.
Their growth rate is incredible.
In fact, it's frightening.
You realize what this implies?
Do you remember the ripped up wires in the transmission room?
Come here, I want to show you something else.
Now, I have a theory as to why the creature was there
and what it was seeking.
Now, I'm going to send a controlled charge
to the isolated cells.
The blood cells look like they're getting larger, doctor.
Now, I'll increase the power slightly.
But it proves out.
The animal feeds on energy.
And discharges energy.
That explains its ability to electrocute Michaels.
One cell, one microscopic speck left on a spacesuit.
And it would absorb all the energy it could get.
Wait a minute.
This stuff reproduced inside the decontamination chamber?
And then as we...As we stepped up the current, it just..
...it just grew?
Precisely.
These creature can be developing on any part of the station.
Or a drop of this substance can reach any form of energy.
Jack.
The power room. If he's right
those things are gonna be all over.
I want you to set up a clean-up detail under captain Martin.
Re-alert the station, see that every precaution is taken.
But this order is revoked, commander.
Under no circumstances will the men use their weapons.
Right.
Let's check him with the analyzer.
It's very strange.
Aah!
Get everybody out, don't ask any questions.
Get the patients out, hurry.
It's the infirmary. First squad, come with me.
Come on.
Get back!
Get back, get back, everybody.
Fire!
We've got it now. Keep firing.
Fire! Fire!
Martin, hold your fire. Hold your fire, men.
Alright, explain it, doctor.
Blood cells of this creature is like a seed.
It can spawn new creatures from its own blood.
Watch it.
Now!
Maybe, we can trap it in the ward.
How long will it hold?
We can only guess. Get a man on the monitor and keep it posted.
Look, more of the same substance.
Incredible how fast it's growing.
Alright, let's clear out of here, men.
'Bring up that monitor car, quick.'
get the door, Vince.
Get me the isolation ward.
What's it doing?
My god, it can heal itself.
You're saying we can't kill it, doctor?
I don't know.
Can you give me a better look at this side of the room.
It's spreading like wildfire.
It'll soon be all over the station. Switch to infirmary.
It's almost impossible to believe.
So fast.
This is commander Elliot
I want all power in the infirmary cut off
right now!
Smart move, Vince.
If we can at least keep it from spreading, we got a chance.
I hope you're right.
Assemble the officers in the command room in 10 minutes.
Quarantine? Who the hell does he think he is?
Bring the full report to my office.
Yes, sir.
Get me an open circuit to gamma 3.
Nurse. Two cc of andrine.
How's the hand?
Jack.
Are we really in quarantine?
- Are we really in quarantine? - That's the order.
But what about my patients?
They can't get treatment here. They should be sent down.
It's absolutely out of the question.
Lisa, don't you realize if one drop of the creatures blood
got to the earth, that would be the end of us all.
Jack, I understand, but it might be their only chance.
It might be, but nothing leaves this station.
What is it?
I'm not sure. I'll find out.
But whatever happens, keep things under control.
A-a-ah!
A-ah!
- It's alright, don't worry. - I'm scared.
Alright, gentlemen. May i have your attention please?
Commander rankin and I've doped out a plan we hope will work.
He's on the line with headquarters right now.
Now, here's what we figured out.
Till now, all our troubles seemed to be here in c-block.
We've gotta get everyone out of there.
That'll be rough on the injured.
We got to do it. Get everyone out of c-block and seal it off.
'And then what?'
then we confine it even further. Right down to the storage room.
But...How do we get those things in there?
By energy. We're banking on the fact
that Dr. halvorsen's theory is correct.
That these things as you call them need energy.
Any energy to grow on.
How do we get energy into the storage room?
Cut off all power and light in c-block.
We're gonna then run a power beam search car
down the corridor stopping at this room.
In the room, we'll set up a portable generator.
The light beam will lure them into the room?
We hope right to the generator.
Well, at least we'll have this mess contained in one area..
...if it works.
Oh, it's got to work.
Because if these things spread
if they get back to that main power room..
We've had it.
Right.
Set up the generator in 10 minutes.
Yes, sir, right away.
'This is commander rankin.'
'all personnel will be evacuated from c-block.'
'in 10 minutes, all lights throughout the entire station'
'will be extinguished.'
'there will be no alarms, no signals.'
'prepare all sick and wounded for immediate removal'
'and stand by.'
will everything be alright?
Yes, yes.
Hold up, driver.
This is commander rankin.
Are you men set with the generator?
Yes, commander. We're all set here.
Turn on the remote control.
Rogen
I'm activating the switch as off...Now.
It's working, sir. We're clearing out right now.
It's almost time.
Let's have a look behind us, Martin.
Yes, sir.
Here we go, men.
Don't move.
- You ready, driver? - 'Yes, sir.'
easy, men, easy.
Let's go.
Easy, men.
It's working.
A-a-ah!
Kill the lights, men. Give me that.
- Move it back. - Yes, sir.
Lisa, these things are gonna follow me.
When they do, I want you to get out of here.
Lisa! Now!
Come on, let's get out of here.
Come on, hurry.
'Jack?
'L'm behind you!'
now, douse your lamp. Let them come to me.
Martin, get ready with the lights.
Elliott, stand clear.
Come on!
Move the car, driver.
Cut the lights.
- Let's be 100% sure, Martin. - Yes, sir.
Send the car to c-block again.
Switch on the lights and turn the car around.
The one in the isolation ward.
Monitor car.
Get the infirmary.
That door won't hold it.
We can brace the door with the car.
That won't help much, captain.
But the airlock panel might.
We can isolate him in c-block.
I don't know if the section can handle it.
This place is stronger than that.
Now, wait a minute. There must be another way.
When you think of it, let me know.
This is commander rankin speaking.
Prepare we evacuate c-block immediately
and make ready to drop the airlock panel.
Alright, come on. Let's go.
- Move this thing. - Commander, wait.
Didn't you hear the order? What are you doing down here?
It's my files. I have to get them out.
- There isn't time. - Commander!
There isn't time. Halvorsen!
Martin! Get that idiot out of here.
Yes, sir.
Come on. Hurry up!
Douse the light!
Come on, move. Move. Move.
Move!
Come on, halvorsen. Hurry up!
- Everybody get out alright? - Are you alright?
Yeah, but I just made it.
Commander, Dr. halvorsen is still inside c-block.
Help! Help!
No, no, no.
A-ah, ah!
Help! Help! Help!
Only one way to get him out.
We'll have to drop the other airlock.
Can't. The light car's jammed under it. Won't move.
Come on, men, see if we can free this car.
Listen, there's only one way to get him out of there.
We're gonna have to raise the first airlock panel.
You'll risk the whole station.
That's a risk we're gonna have to take.
Not as long as I'm in command.
Vince! Get away from that panel.
That's an order, Vince.
It's your move, commander.
You're not supposed to shoot them, Jack.
Get her out of here.
- Martin, get the panel. - Yes, sir.
There's been an explosion on gamma 3.
- What happened? - A section just blew out.
- Put me on radio. - Right.
Space center to gamma 3.
Scanner still working on c-block?
Yes, sir.
Looks like some of them have been killed.
Yeah, but look how they're burnt.
Must been tremendous heat generated by the explosion.
There are only three or four. What happened to others?
Get me an outside scanner.
Jack, look. A sun. It's healing them.
And look at the way they're growing.
Main power room. Shut down the solar generators now.
Lisa, get all the injured in b-block.
Keep them together and be ready to move in a moment's notice.
The circuit to headquarters through yet?
- In just a few seconds, sir. - Oh, hurry it up.
Here we are, sir.
Rankin on gamma 3. Do you read me loud and clear, over.
'Loud and clear, sir.'
urgent priority on this message to the chief of staff.
One, necessary to abandon gamma 3 immediately.
Prepare to receive evacuees, many of whom are wounded.
Absolutely mandatory to have complete quarantine
and thorough examination of all personnel
and equipment on arrival.
Two, request permission to destroy gamma 3.
To destroy this station?
Situation here beyond control. Further efforts futile.
Any unnecessary delay can prove disastrous to entire company.
You can evacuate this station. You're not gonna destroy it.
It's our only way, Vince.
What do you mean, "it's our only way"?
I mean that I want this place cleared out
lock, stock, and barrel in 30 minutes. Ls that clear enough?
- Put me on the loudspeakers. - 'Yes, sir.'
this is commander rankin. Now, hear this.
Now, hear this. This is a general quarters alert.
Our personnel will prepare to evacuate the station at once.
All support cruisers will be ready for immediate departure.
Target deadline will be in 40..
Now, I'm going to tell you something for the last time.
Lam in command of this station.
And when my chief gives me an order to destroy gamma 3
I'll take that order from him, but I won't take it from you.
Lieutenant Morris, I want you to escort commander Elliott
to the evacuation area.
Put him on a cruiser.
If he offers any resistance of any kind
consider him under arrest.
- Commander! Take it easy! - Alright, alright!
Lieutenant Morris, you have your orders.
Yes, sir.
Captain Martin, you'll be in charge of the evacuation.
Yes, sir.
Stand by. We've got them now, sir.
This is general Thompson. Can you get everyone off?
Yes, sir. We'll be clearing as soon as possible.
Jack, don't take any unnecessary chances.
- We'll handle it from here. - It's your party.
Connect me to the evacuation room.
Yes, sir.
Go ahead.
Lisa, are all your patients ready to go?
All patients are ready for evacuation.
Alright.
Doctor, I'm never going to make it down, am I?
Of course, you will. Everything is going to be alright.
- Captain. We're all set to go. - Fine, Morris.
- Open the escape hatch. - Right, standby.
Standing by.
Escape hatch opening.
- What's wrong? - It won't open.
Captain!
Close it, quick.
Command room, this is control.
They are outside the escape hatch. We can't get it open.
'Can you hear me? We can't open the escape hatch.'
- give me an outside camera. - Yes, sir.
They're after the power circuits on the solar generator.
They sure are.
Martin, send four men up there and blast those things.
'Roger. Right away, sir.'
alright, captain. I'll be handling this myself.
Make sure everyone is set to leave the station.
- But, sir, commander rankin-- - that is an order, captain.
You do know what an order is?
- Yes, sir. - Vince.
Vince, don't go out there.
Don't tell me what to do. I'm tired of being told what to do.
I'm tired of taking orders. This is my station.
Now, go up there and tell your gi boy scout
what I just said.
- Mine? - You're damn right.
It's never been over between you two, has it?
Vince, you got it all wrong. Believe me.
Sure. Sure, I do.
'Captain Martin, what's keeping you? Get moving.'
see, the great man's getting impatient.
Excuse me.
We're all set, sir. Good luck, sir.
Thank you.
Don't worry about me.
You get your patients, your staff on the cruisers. Hmm?
Quick! Get them aboard the cruiser.
Is commander Elliott outside yet?
Commander Elliott?
Alright. Let's go.
That's commander Elliott.
I think the solar power supply can be used as a diversion.
- Activate it, Curtis. - Right.
Get them ready to go.
- Stand by. - Standing by.
Hatches open.
Get ready to launch number one.
Ready.
Hit the blue.
'Number one, off and clear.'
- ready, number two. - 'Ready.'
hit it!
Turn off the gyro-computer.
'Rogen'
'Martin, how's it going?'
the last group is leaving now, sir.
There's only the security detail left.
Good work, Martin. We'll be right there.
Alright, everybody. Get down to the evacuation area.
We'll pick up Elliott and others in the atmosphere.
This is gamma 3 calling space central.
Gamma 3 calling space central.
Guidance control is set. We are clearing out.
This is space central. We're taking over now.
Get ready to test the remote guidance system for gamma 3.
Yes, sir.
Jack! Behind you!
Where are the others?
They're on the cruiser waiting for you.
- Come on. - Commander!
- More trouble. - What is it?
Space central reports our power's dropped so low
they can't activate guidance by remote control.
What does that mean?
It means we do it ourselves.
That means going back.
Oh, no.
Get on that cruiser and get outta here.
It's impossible to go back in there.
It's useless to even try, commander.
There are too many of them.
We'd never make it to the controls.
We've gotta make it, Martin. It's as simple as that.
Yes, sir. I'll round up a detail.
Captain. I'm the one that's going back.
Take that last cruiser and get out of here as quick as you can.
Circle the station.
I'll, eh, I'll drift up and meet you later.
Yes, sir.
- Jack, why can't-- - will you stop arguing?
Please. Don't go.
I'll be back.
- Ready for launch. - 'Ready.'
easy now. I'll take it.
Alright.
Where's rankin, Lisa?
He went back inside.
Alone.
Vince, where are you going?
I'm gonna go help him.
You never could take orders.
Everybody's got his weakness, right?
That's it. Let's go.
Vince!
Ah! A-a-a-ah!
Vince!
Pull in close. Take them aboard.
Stand by. The circuit's ready, sir.
This is rankin reporting.
As the result of action above and beyond the call of duty
by commander Vince Elliott
'evacuation successful with minimum of casualties.'
'destruction of gamma 3 completed as planned.'
mission completed.
I recommend the highest citation for commander Elliott..
...posthumously.
Alright, lieutenant. Take her down.
