Colonel: on the phone yes that's right, thank you

Colonel: ah yes captain I thought I would let you kno... this is going to be hard im... I'm.. I'm leaving captain

Scarlet: sir? No you can't leave who's going to be the next Colonel the next head of spectrum

Colonel: alix she is the next to be in command

Scarlet: alix? She is so young some officers might think it a joke to listen to a 16 year old Colonel. With all due respect I don't think is the best choice if any thing it should be me I'm the best officer

Colonel: right your more useful as a captain doing missions your the captain scarlet your indestructible

Scarlet: walks out in anger

Colonel: thinking/talking to himself how am I to tell Alix she going to give more of a protest no I won't let her convince me not this time he calls Alix

Alix: walks in you wanted to see Me sir

Colonel: I need to tell you something, something serious

Alix: I'm listening

Colonel: good how do i say this just got to be straight up with you he pauses takes a deep breath Alix I'm leaving I'm retiring

Alix: WHAT!?!? WHY?!?! WHO IS GOING TO REPLACE YOU?!?!?!? She takes a second and realises what the colonel has said to her she starts to cries colonel no you have to stay what would I do without you? You're my dad you raised me without you and spectrum I'm nothing less than nothing I would be worthless

Colonel: ok I understand that you would feel like that but 2 things 1. You're going to be the next Colonel and 2. You aren't nothing without spectrum or me you have an amazing family on tracy island who love you

Alix: but sir what do you mean I can't run spectrum no would listen to me a 16 year old girl and my family that left me when I was a baby yeah that isn't amazing that is lov...

Colonel: let me stop you there you and I were both there when Jeff Explained the situation they didn't leave you they were protecting you they wanted to keep you safe

Alix: look at me I have physical and emotional scars I haven't been safe I've been fighting an invisible alien life force that has attacked me and the people i love that isn't what I would call "protecting", Dad

Colonel: I'm sorry but you can either take the position or it will be empty and no one will look after cloudbase its up to you, you have 3 days to decide

Alix: three days!?!?

Colonel: the only reason I'm leaving is to spend time with my family I haven't seen in years Alix you aren't the only one who I love deeply

Alix: I get that but I don't have an emotional bond with my real family like you dad she leaves upset and goes to her room where Gemma is sitting

Gemma: hey you good you seem down

Alix: it's the colonel he is leaving and wants me to take over spectrum

Gemma: really that would be an honour imagine being the head of spectrum Alix that is amazing

Alix: no it's not I have better skills on the ground and I need the colonel

Gemma: you have me and the Tracy's

Alix: can people stop saying that I don't talk to them i don't have the Tracy's they aren't my family

Gemma: you can't control the colonel, but you can control what you do I can't do that but I'll support you if you take the role everyone will

Scarlet: walks in I heard the news alix I know how hard that must be losing your dad like this but he's doing it to help others

Alix: yeah it's just its all I've known for 16 years and it's all changing finding my real family losing my dad the mysterons trying to kill everyone before we get a chance to stop them I just don't have control over my own life any more it feels like

Gemma: and we've always always been here to help and that won't change scarlet blue the angles the other Captains and liuetants me we've all been here everytime something happens to you we are here to help you never ever forget that and you don't have to run skybase like your dad you will have your way of doing things and we will support the decisions you make ok

Alix: ok I'll go tell the colonel that I'll take the job

Scarlet: and neither one of us will move until you get back ok

Alix: ok walks into the colonel's office hey dad

Colonel: hey Alix what's up?

Alix: I'm taking the job as colonel

Colonel: ok thankyou for telling me now it makes doing the paper work easier and gives me more time to do it and for you sign it

Alix: ok she walks back into her room

Gemma: hugs alix you did it alix good job

Scarlet: good work colonel turquoise
