With the knock out gas taking effect everyone was unconscious. The colour coded Captains were slumped in their seats in the officers lounge, as were the Angels in the Amber room.
Only one person was uneffected, Captain Scarlet, who was breathing purified oxygen in the sickbay.On Mars, the Mysterons observed the results of Black's handiwork,
"The gas has taken effect and has been extracted, you must board the craft"
Once again, Black responded.
"The Mysteron instructions will be carried out"Back on Cloudbase, Scarlet completed his recovery and he began to unwrap his bandages.
He shivered at the cool air from the activated vents and pulled on his uniform that was folded on the chair beside him.
Once he was dressed he realised that Doctor Fawn hadn't come to check on him,
"Doctor Fawn? Anyone about?" he thought to himself.
Entering the lab he gasped when he saw Fawn slumped over his desk.
"Doctor Fawn! What happened here?"Scarlet approached and felt the Doctor's pulse. He heaved a sigh of relief when he could detect movement under the skin.
"Unconscious... must be some sort of knock out..." his reverie was interrupted as he felt a rumble under his feet.
"Hey, Cloudbase is moving"He raced out into the corridor and froze when he saw the limp froms of Lieutenant Teal and Fantasy Angel. Both were beginning to stir and Scarlet helped them sit up,
"Lieutenant Teal, Fantasy Angel, what happened to you?"
"Ugh, we... were going... to visit you... when this gas... starting choking us... couldn't breathe..." Teal started to cough again while Fantasy was pulling herself to her feet."Cloudbase is probably off course, we need to correct it" she murmured. As she stood up, Fantasy stumbled. Scarlet caught her before she fell and steadied her against the wall,
"Stay here you two, and I'll check the flight control room. If every else's still unconscious we could be heading for trouble!"When Scarlet arrived, Captain Magenta was slumped in his seat at the control panel. He gently moved his friend to the floor,
"Automatic pilot - okay, course - okay. All systems functioning normally. I guess I'd better stick with Teal and Fantasy until everyone recovers"At that point, Scarlet's new teammates hurried into the room.
"Captain, there is an aircraft approaching!" Fantasy exclaimed. Captain scarlet's sixth sense began to kick in.
"Teal, Fantasy, follow me!"
"Why, where are we going?" Teal asked.
They ducked behind some crates in a store room where Scarlet motioned for them to be quiet.Shortly after they witnessed Captain Black walking past.
"So this is Mysteron work"
Fantasy slowly crept towards the room that Black was in,
"Their plan's going to backfire. At last we'll have Captain Black prisoner" she thought triumphantly.
She positioned herself to deliver a blow to back of the Captain neck, aiming for his pressure point.But at that moment, Black saw Fantasy's reflection in the glass!
"An Earthwoman!" he exclaimed.
Black delivered a violent punch to the young angel knocking her into the control panel, sending Cloudbase out of control!
