Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet: Attack On Skybase

Scene 1 - Skybase

(Opening titles)

"EARTH IS AT WAR WITH AN ALIEN CIVILISATION. THE MYSTERONS CAN KILL ANYONE AND REBUILD THEM AS INSTRUMENTS IN THEIR WAR AGAINST US".

"CAPTAIN SCARLET, YOU ARE VIRTUALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE".

ZOOM! ZOOM! ZOOM! ZOOM! ZOOM! The five Falcon Interceptors piloted the Angel fighter pilots whiz through the clouds and up into the wonderful sky with a beaming sun from their behind. They begin whizzing around in unison to play around with for fun as they return to their headquarters, Skybase. We see the aerial platform sat in the middle of the sky hundreds of miles above the Earth's surface. A silver aerial platform with a huge runway or landing port across its entire body, with a headquarters and building on one side. The five crafts begin orbiting around the aerial base, communicating on their radios back to Skybase.

Destiny:

Skybase to Destiny Angel. Returning to base.

Lieutenant Green:

Roger Destiny. You are clear to land.

Destiny:

S.I.G.

Lieutenant Green:

How did the operation go?

Destiny:

Fairly routine Serena. Unidentified aircraft shot down. No Mysteron presence detected. Commencing landing procedure now.

The first Interceptor, Destiny's, runs towards the runway before slowing down further and further before easily brushing down towards the end of where the craft stops. The remaining crafts then begin their racing up towards Skybase to return. Destiny's aircraft is lowered down into Skybase, whilst the remaining aircraft, when landed down they too will descend below deck. When Destiny releases the roof of her aircraft for her to exit out, she spots her friend striding by herself as she heads out as Destiny calls out and rushes to Samantha Lowe, technician aboard Skybase as well as a friend to her, to socialize.

Sam!

Samantha:

Hi, Destiny!

Destiny:

You about to leave for your vacation?

Samantha:

Absolutely. Need it. I mean it isn't really much of a vacation. Just a forty-eight-hour leave. Go see Charlie and the kids again. Get up to speed. See old Bodmin again. That sort of thing.

Destiny:

Yeah. I know what you mean. Feels like we've been here for years, doesn't it?

Samantha:

Yeah. Look, I can't really stop to chat. My Jet will be leaving shortly. I'll speak to you later.

She then has to rush off.

Destiny:

Ok. See you then.

Skybase control deck, Lieutenant Green busy operating at her holographic systems, whilst Colonel White stands facing the desert of skies around him. With Captain Scarlet and Blue standing behind him waiting behind the Colonel for his orders, White turning back around to them.

Colonel White:

The Mysterons are among us gentlemen. They are out there somewhere. In the clouds.

Captain Scarlet:

Yes Colonel. I know I could feel their presence. Somewhere in that direction. Unless Destiny and the Angels destroyed them.

Captain Blue:

Are you sure you feel nauseated now Paul?

Captain Scarlet:

A little Adam. But I just know they're there. Planning something.

Colonel White:

Then we need to keep on our toes gentlemen. Ready for the next target in our war of nerves against the Mysterons.

Captain Scarlet:

And I feel like they'll show their hand soon. That aircraft was nothing more than just another ship trying to blow Skybase up.

Lieutenant Green:

Colonel sir, the Swift Jet is ready to launch.

Colonel White:

S.I.G Lieutenant. They are clear to take off.

Lieutenant Green:

Yes sir.

We then see the SPJ fly away from Skybase zooming off into the clouds to head for England. Onboard, we see Samantha sat by herself next to the window with a table in front of her, for as we see no other passengers aboard, just her. As the SPJ enters cloud cover, we see a green light from within the clouds, two rings beginning to emerge - The Mysterons. A green light fades over the window which blinds her for a minute which is too strong for her eyes to cope. Moments later, it's gone. Assumed the green light may have just been a light from somewhere. But now she seems fine. And the SPJ is left to soar through the clouds. But the Mysterons were commencing their latest strike against Skybase.
