From an idea by the elusive "Hiram K Hackenbacker", a revolutionary new orbital motorway has been constructed around the United Kingdom that will help traffic and goods flow from around the country above the sea. It is hoped that the so-called British Orbital Highway will be one of many orbiting carriageways that will be surrounding entire countries such as the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. With it now open to the public, a special promotion of the opening is arranged. With the Tracy's of International Rescue, Lady Penelope and Parker Creighton Ward mansion, and the Spectrum officers aboard Cloudbase eagerly watching, disaster strikes after the Mysterons announce they attempt to blow a hole in worldwide rescue operations. They aim to prove how petty the earthmen's attempts are to save their own kind. The Mysterons keep to their word - the British Orbital Highway is sabotaged with a family on the unstable carriageway. International Rescue hurriedly rush to the scene of the incident, whilst Captain Scarlet suspects heavy Mysteron influence on the disaster. Indeed, Captain Black is operating as Mysteron agent. With both International Rescue and the Spectrum forces mobilised, they must do their best to ensure the people of Britain are safe from the Mysteron threat. Now, it was time for the Thunderbirds to meet Captain Scarlet... Based on the most popular television series created by the legendary Gerry Anderson. A CaptainThunderWho Century 22 Production.

It has never been fully understood how Zonnie, the pet Lazoon, came to be among the crew of the Fireball XL5. At her dinner party in her newly constructed house, Dr. Venus, the owner of Zoonie, is about to explain all. At least two years ago, Space City reported the arrival of a scout vessel belonging to a ruthless dictatorship-like species. On course for the planet Colevio, Fireball XL5 is dispatched to fend off the enemy invaders and prevent their fleet from entering anywhere close to our side of the universe... The sets of crafts are led to the planet itself - a world in which its civilisation, the Lazoon species live in the underground catacombs underneath the ocean world. It is here where we are first introduced to Zoonie. We are revealed to his siblings, his mother, and the rest of the world he grew up in. However, Steve and his friends are not the only extraterrestrial life forms to arrive on the planet. Once the invaders arrive and take over, nothing can stop them from taking over the Lazoon species and from there, the rest of the galaxy.
