We see stock footage of the Angels leaving Skybase. Their five crafts soar off from the carrier, launching into the sky with Destiny leading the squad of White Falcon Interceptors. This then cuts to see footage of the Albatross about to be dispatched from Skybase's hanger. With the recruits standing by as passengers in the back, Captains Scarlet and Blue operate the controls of the craft. We see Captain Blue controlling the panels for launch.

Captain Blue:

I prefer the older model to these. I was so used to flying them.

Captain Scarlet:

I know how you feel, Adam. If the Mysterons hadn't wrecked Skybase we wouldn't have to worry about getting used to a new ship. It's automatic for us flying the ship the old same way.

Captain Blue:

Those damn Mysterons again!

Captain Scarlet:

We will get them back, Adam. Get us out of here, and we will get them for this.

Captain Blue:

S.I.G!

The hatch beneath the Albatross opens, and we get a breezy gust of the great height Skybase situates above. The Albatross then drops down and we see the reused footage of the carrier leaving Skybase. It blasts downwards into the sky to leave. This then cuts to the research base in the morning. Two Rhinos are parked outside, as well as a Cheetah car. We get a good overarching view of the complex as the sun shines in the sky, reflecting its rays onto the research station as well as the forest around it. Captains Scarlet and Blue wander outside around their Rhinos. Captain Scarlet's radio mic is down, in communication with the recruits inside.

Captain Scarlet:

They're headed in.

Captain Blue:

Feels a little unusual. It's more often to be us walking into the jaws of the Mysterons. Not a bunch of young, naïve college school graduates.

Eliza shouts back on Scarlet's radio.

Lieutenant Violet:

I heard that, Captain!

Captain Scarlet:

Stay focused on your mission. Remember what the Colonel told you about expecting the unexpected?

Lieutenant Navy:

S.I.G. Captain Scarlet.
