Commander Casey: "Sixty minutes to liftoff. Commence Zero-X pre-flight assembly."

Kieron: "Thunderbird 2 from Mobile Control. Are you ready, Jonson?"

Jonson: "Standing by, Kieron."

Kieron: "Mobile Control calling Thunderbird 3."

Sean cuts to Thunderbird 3 in space

Sarah: "OK, Kieron . In orbit. I should be able to see Zero-X as it leaves the Earth's atmosphere. Unless liftoff time is altered."

Sean cuts the control tower

Kieron: "F.A.B., Sarah."

Sean cuts to FAB 1 in a car park

Parker: "Now, m'lady?"

Lady Penelope: "Now, Parker."

Parker: "Channel 1, m'lady."

Lady Penelope: "Good. That's alright then."

Parker: "Channel 2, m'lady."

Commander Casey ( on speekers): "Clear launch apron. Zero-X moving to position."

Parker: "Channel 5, m'lady."

Lady Penelope: "Thank you, Parker. Trouble, Parker!"

Parker: "I thought it was too good to be true, m'lady."

Lady Penelope: "Lady Penelope calling Kieron, Mobile Control."

Kieron ( on radio): "What's the trouble, Lady Penelope?"

Lady Penelope: "Number 5, negative."

Kieron ( on radio): "OK, Penelope, here's what we do. Now, whatever happens, the countdown must continue, otherwise we miss the rendezvous with Thunderbird 3 in space. I'll attend to Number 5. Meanwhile, locate Dr Grant."

Lady Penelope: "F.A.B."

Sean cuts to Kieron walking in to the cockpit of Zero x

Commander Casey: "This is Assembly Control. Radio-controlled Lifting Body 2 about to take up position."

Kieron: "Everybody OK?"

Dr Pierce: "Yeah. Yeah, fine. Everything's just fine."

Kieron: "How about you, Dr Grant? Are you OK? Keep quite still, Doctor... there's something wrong with your... face!"

Kieron pulled of the mask showing Mercury and Kieron went to the wall as mercury pulled out a gun

Dr Pierce: "He's got a gun!"

Kieron rase his hadns up

Mercury: "I should allow yourself 10 seconds before coming through this door after me. Otherwise, you might get your head blown off!"

Mercury then ran off

Sean cuts to FAB 1 in a car park

Parker: "I think I've located Number 5, m'lady."

Lady Penelope: "That's him, Parker."

Kieron ( on radio): "Well done, Penelope. Number 5 was a phoney alright. But he's got away, you'd better take care of him."

Lady Penelope: "Right, Kieron , leave it to me. But before I go, you'll find the real Dr Grant on a bearing of 174, and a range of 1,204 yards from my present position."

Kieron ( on radio): "F.A.B."

Parker: "I can see the gentleman in question ahead, m'lady. He's just leaving the control tower in a motorcar."

Lady Penelope: "Right, Parker. Away we go."

Sean cuts to Lunch controle Kieron pointing at a map

Kieron: "You'll find the real Dr Grant somewhere in this building here."

Commander Casey: "Airport Police, this is Assembly Control. Searcg the Missile Store, Block F immediately, locate the whereabouts of Dr Grant. We don't know his condition, but providing he's OK, bring him over to Central Control immediately."

Airport Police: "Roger, Control."

Commander Casey: "Say, how do you know all this?"

Kieron: "A pretty little bird told me."

Sean cuts to FAB 1 in a car park

Parker: "He's got a good start on us, m'lady."

Lady Penelope: "Yes, I can see him down below. My guess is he's making for that motorboat by the jetty."

Fab 1 then drives off heading after the car Mercury was in

Sean cuts to Zero x Cockpit

Kieron: "How are you feeling, Dr Grant?"

Dr Grant: "Just fine. There was no violence, he just told me at gunpoint, tied me up, and locked me in the Missile Store. Guess it's another sabotage attempt. What beats me is how you knew where I was."

Kieron: "Well, all you need to know right now is that everything is OK. The launch is taking place as per schedule."

Dr Grant: "OK, sir. So much for the good luck charm given to me by Lady Penelope!" [ he throw what Lady Penelope gave him on to the floor and it broke]

Sean cuts to to fab 1 driveing and they see Mercury getting in a bote that drive off

Parker: "Safety belts on, m'lady?"

Lady Penelope: "Safety belts on, Parker."

soon fab 1 drive off the doc and landing in the water floting

Parker: "Lowering hydrofoils now, m'lady."

FAB 1 then start moving starts moveing like a jet skey heading after Mercury

Mercury: "I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

they then see the bote stop and mercury get picked up by a helicopter

Parker: "It looks as if an accomplice is waiting to pick him up in that 'elicopter, m'lady."

Parker: "It's a harmy 'elicopter, m'lady, and no doubt it's heavily armed."

Lady Penelope: "Well, let's hope they attack, Parker. Then we may have an opportunity to shoot it down."

Sean cuts Thunderbird 2 cockpit

Kieron ( on radio) : "Mobile Control to Thunderbird 2. Launching under way. You'd better lift off yourself."

Jonson: "Thunderbird 2, F.A.B."

Thunderbird 2 then takes off and flying in to the sky

Sean cuts to the choper frieing at Fab one

Lady Penelope: "Stand by to take evasive action, Parker."

Parker: "Yes, m'lady."

Parker: "Now, m'lady?"

Lady Penelope: "Now, Parker."

Fab 1 take a hard left and then stop and it gun comes out and ames at the chopper

Parker: "Just a little bit over to the right, old son.... Thank you very much."

soon parker fired and the chopper crash and blew up

Lady Penelope: "I don't think there's much point in looking for survivors, Parker."

Parker: "No, m'lady. Look, m'lady! Look!"

they see Zero x flying in the sky and Thunderbird 2 next to it

Lady Penelope: "What a magnificent sight."

Zeox cockpit

Paul Travers: "Central Control from Zero-X. Lift-off A-OK. Airspeed Mach 1.2, rate of ascent 3,000 feet per minute. All systems are go."

Greg Martin: "Hight 50,000 feet. Mach 2.8."

Thunderbird 2 cockpit

Jonson: "Mobile Control from Thunderbird 2. I'm returning to base. Zero-X is entering rarified atmosphere, and she's doing fine. In a few minutes, it'll be over to Sarah."

Kieron ( on radio): "OK, Thunderbird 2. Thunderbird 3, can you hear me?"

Sarah( on radio): "Mobile Control, I hear you."

Kieron ( on radio): "Sarah , Zero-X entering rarified atmosphere. It should be with you in approximately one minute."

Sarah( on radio): "Right, Kieron."

Zeox cockpit

Greg Martin: "100,000 feet, Mach 3.2."

Paul Travers: "Start countdown for chemical rocket."

Brad Newman: "Commence of countdown coming up on computer. Countdown commencing now."

Paul Travers: "Stand by to release lifting bodies."

Greg Martin: "Standing by. Height 112,000 feet. Height 120,000 feet."

Paul Travers: "Increase rate of ascent to 6,000 feet a minute."

Greg Martin: "Roger."

Brad Newman: "Computer reports Jettison lift bodies 10 seconds. Release on green light."

Paul Travers: "Roger."

Brad Newman: "Five seconds... three, two, one."

the 2 lifting body detach and head back down to the base

Brad Newman: "Computer reports chemical rockets, five seconds."

soon the rockets fire

Greg Martin: "Air speed 3,000 knots... 4,000... 5,000... 6,000... 7,000."

Brad Newman: "Leaving Earth's atmosphere. Computer reports Jettison nose-cone 10 seconds."

Paul Travers: "Roger."

soon the Nose cone ejects and fly off

Paul Travers: "Central Control, this is Zero-X. Lifting bodies and nose-cone jettisoned. Escape velocity reached. We are leaving Earth's atmosphere."

Paul Travers: "OK, switching arcjet engine."

Thunderbird 3 flys close to zero x

Sarah: "Mobile Control, this is Thunderbird 3. I can see Zero-X. She's on course, and accelerating to 100,000 miles per hour."

Kieron ( on radio): "OK, thanks, Sarah. You'd better return to base."

Sarah: "F.A.B."

Control tower and Thunderbird 2 landing is seen landing

Sarah: "Mobile Control, this is Thunderbird 3. I can see Zero-X. She's on course, and accelerating to 100,000 miles per hour."

Kieron ( on radio): "OK, thanks, Sarah. You'd better return to base."

Sarah: "F.A.B."

Control tower and Thunderbird 2 landing is seen landing

Kieron: "International Rescue calling Zero-X. May we offer our congratulations on a superb lift-off. Fortunately, our services were not required, although I can tell you now that a sabotage attempt was made just before lift-off. But we took care of it. Now I guess the rest is up to you."

Paul Travers ( onradio): "International Rescue from Zero-X. Doctor Grant has just told us about the sabotage attempt. The only thing we really want to say is, Thanks!"

Commander Casey: "And may I add my thanks and congratulations too."

Kieron: "You did pretty well yourself."

Fab1 pulls up in the car park

Lady Penelope: "Mobile Control from FAB 1, are we clear?"

Kieron ( on radio): "Hi there, Penelope. All clear! I'm on my own. How did it go?"

Lady Penelope: "F.A.B."

Kieron ( on radio): "Well done, Penelope."

Lady Penelope: "Well, it's been a hectic time for all of us, how about us all getting together tonight for a drink? I hear there's a fab nightclub called the Swinging Star near my hotel."

Kieron ( on radio): "F.A.B!"

Jonson ( on radio): "Oh, hi there, Penelope. I just happened to be monitoring your frequency, and I, uh...."

Lady Penelope: "Well, what do you say, Jonson? Are you game?"

Jonson ( on radio): "I sure am!"

{Int. beacon. It's night-time. Ozpin is at his desk, video-calling Kieron.}

Ozpin: "You're going where!?"

Kieron: "Erm, to the Swinging Star, Father. It's some kind of nightclub."

Ozpin: "But that means you won't be back here till morning."

{Shot of Sarah riding back on the settee, humming part of the show theme to herself.}

Ozpin:"Sure, I understand. You need a break. But this is a tough job we're doing here."

Glynda "sir, all work and no play makes Kieron a dull boy."

Ozpin: "Hmmm... OK then, Kieron . Have a good time."

Kieron: "Gee, thanks, dad. I've made arrangements with Glenn Field. They'll be able to reach us by radio any time. Don't forget, dad, we'll be at the Swinging Star."

{Just then, Sarah , hologram appears.}

Sarah: "The Swinging Star?"

Ozpin: "Yeah, that's right, it's some sort of a nightclub. They're all going out tonight, to celebrate."

Sarah: "A nightclub? And I'm stuck here at base. Just my luck! (To Glynda ) Say, Glynda , why don't we go off to the mainland tonight? Just the two of us?"

Glynda: "That would be lovely, Sarah. I'll wear my new dress!"

Ozpin: (angrily) "What goes on around here? Have you all gone crazy? This is International Rescue, remember? We can't leave the base unmanned." (To Glynda ) "Sorry, Glynda."

Glynda: "Oh, that's all right, sir I understand."

Sarah: (frowning) "Well I don't. I'm going to bed."

Glynda: "But won't you have some coffee, Sarah?"

Sarah: "No thanks. It keeps me awake!" (He storms off)

{Shot of beacon outside, later on in the night}

Shot of ozpin , working at his desk, obviously quite tired.

Shot of Sarah , sleeping in her bed. He is groaning heavily, as though she can't sleep very well.}

Kieronv/o: "We're all going to the Swinging Star."

ozpinv/o: "No, Sarah. Have you gone crazy? We can't leave the base unmanned."

{The scene changes to dry ice and brightly coloured lights. The camera rises, and we seen Sarah , wearing a prom dress, standing alone in a construction of wire.}

Sarah "Penelope, you're 30 seconds late. Swinging Star... sounds great! (Just then, we hear a car horn; that Mexican dance song) Why, here she is!"

{FAB 1 pulls up in front of Sarah . The door opens to reveal Lady Penelope in a blue glitzy dress and white fur drape, and Parker, in his chauffeur's garb, which is slightly pink.}

Sarah: "Why, hello there, Penny."

Lady Penelope: "Have I kept you waiting?"

Sarah: (Stepping into FAB 1) "Of course not. You're dead on time. (The door closes as soon as he's seated)"

Parker: "Where to, m'lady?"

Lady Penelope: "Why, the Swinging Star, of course."

{FAB 1 drives off, along a bridge. Cut to inside FAB 1.}

Parker: "Now, m'lady?"

Lady Penelope: "Now, Parker."

{Cut to ext. FAB 1, as it starts flying off the bridge, into space.

Back to inside FAB 1.}

Sarah: "Why, we're flying!"

Lady Penelope: "That's right."

{Shot of FAB 1 flying through space.}

Lady Penelope (To Parker): "Turn right just past planet Mars, and you should see the Swinging Star straight ahead of you, Parker."

Parker: "Right, m'lady."

Parker: "Here it is, m'lady. Straight ahead."

Sarah: "Gee, it's fabulous!"

Lady Penelope: "I thought you'd like it."

Parker: "No parking problem here, m'lady." ()

Sarah: "Wow, what a terrific group."

Lady Penelope: "Yes, they always play at the Swinging Star. You see, they're... way out."

Sarah: "Say, Penelope... how did you enjoy your night here with Scott and Virgil?"

Lady Penelope: "Oh, we didn't come to this Swinging Star."

Sarah: "Oh, really?"

Lady Penelope: "Oh, no. This is reserved specially for you."

Sarah: "Oh, er... gee. Have some more champagne."

Compere: "And now, ladies and gentlemen, we present the biggest star in the universe. None other than Cliff Richard Junior."

Cliff Richard Junior (singing):

"Sometimes I feel you are cheating me
Then you kiss me and my mind is free
But then I think I should let you know that
I've got friends - so baby listen to me....

A shooting star will shoot you and Mars will go to war
The man in the moon will jump on you if you don't love me no more....

I saw you in someone else's car
You told me that - he won't go too far
That may be so but you let him know that
I've got friends, so baby listen to me....

A shooting star will shoot you and Mars will go to war
The man in the moon will jump on you if you don't love me no more....

You tell me then I'm the man for you
But you do things you should never do
So now, hear this warning once again, yes,
I've got friends, so baby listen to me....

A shooting star will shoot you and Mars will go to war
The man in the moon will jump on you if you don't love me no more....

If you don't stop making me lose face
I will have you put up there in space
So, just do what I'm a-telling you, 'cos
I've got friends, baby listen to me....

A shooting star will shoot you and Mars will go to war
The man in the moon will jump on you if you don't love me no more....

( the song)

Sarah: "What an evening!"

Lady Penelope: "It isn't over yet, Sarah. The night is young. Come on, let's dance."

Sarah: "Yeah, let's dance." (Just then, we hear an electronic beeping. It's her watch-phone) "Alan Tracy, International Rescue." (Cut to Sarah POV. It's Ozpin on the other end.)

Ozpin: "Oh, Alan. Sorry to disturb you, but this is an emergency."

Sarah: "Look, Father, can't Kieron and Jonson handle this? I'm kinda tied up right now."

Ozpin: "I'm afraid Kieron and Jonson are away enjoying themselves, as usual. You are the only one I can rely on, Alan."

Sarah: "I quite understand, dad. I'll be down right away."

Ozpin: "F.A.B."

Sarah: "Penelope, we've got to go."

Lady Penelope: "Oh, Sarah! Must we?"

Sarah: "Penelope, I'm afraid we must. Duty calls."

Lady Penelope: "But is there no way you can get out of this, Sarah?"

Sarah: "Look, Penelope. Dad needs me. He's depending on me. I've just got to go."

Parker: "Mind the gap, m'lady. For when you step into the car."

Lady Penelope: "Thank you, Parker. We don't want to fall back to Earth, do we? Mind the gap, Sarah . Mind the gap sarah . Mind the gap, sarah." the gap got biger evre time she said Mind the gap

Sarah: "I can't possibly make it!"

Lady Penelope: "What's the matter, Sarah ? What's the matter, Sarah ? Don't tell me you're afraid."

Sarah: "I'm not afraid."

Lady Penelope: "A brave astronaut like you... afraid."

Sarah: "I am not afraid!" (She steps out of the star, and falls immediately. Cut to a shot of Sarah falling past the moon, with Lady Penelope laughing evilly at her . Cut to an expanding, spinning Tracy Island, until the screen goes black. We hear a thud. We are now back in Sarah's room. The door opens. It's Apps.)

Apps: "Sarah ? Sarah , are you OK? Sarah ! Sarah , where are you?"

Sarah: "Gee, sorry, Apps. I... I guess I fell out of bed.

(Daylight, and down at the swimming pool. Ozpin who had come from beacon to see them and Kieron are discussing something, whilst Jonson and Brains face off across a chessboard. Sarah is sitting off by herself, behind some rather loud-looking sunglasses. Off-camera shouts, squeals and splashing indicate apps and Glynda are having a good time in the water.)

Kieron: "Look, dad. I've had a word with Brains, and he agrees that this modification is possible. Right, Brains?"

Brains: "Check."

Jonson: "Check? What the heck are you talking about?"

Glynda: "Oh, come on, you two. The water is lovely and warm."

Apps: "Thunderbird 4, at your service. Catch!" (From the pool, he lobs a multicolored beach-ball at Sarah- who's definitely not amused.)

Sarah: "Can't a guy get any peace around here?"

Ozpin: "I wish lily was here to enjoy the fun. But I guess someone's got to man the space satellite."

Thunderbird 5

Paul Travers on the radio: "Zero-X to Earth. We have just touched down successfully on the surface of Mars. All systems are go, we'll radio a full report to you in 30 minutes ground-elapsed time."

Lily then calls Ozpin

Ozpin (on radio): "Go ahead, Lily."

( back at the pool)

Lily (on radio): "Father, I was just listening to the Zero-X' transmission to Earth. They've just announced they've safely landed on Mars. Thought you'd all be interested down there to hear the news."

Ozpin : "Thanks, lily . Keep in touch."

Lily (on radio):: "F.A.B."

Ozpin : "Listen, everyone. Just heard from Lily : after six weeks in space, Zero-X has safely landed on Mars."

on mars Zerox is seen driving across the land of mars

it then showed Dr Grant,Paul Travers,Greg Martins and Dr Pierce in side the Zero x cockpit and stops by some Rockets

Paul Travers: "Well, Doctor Grant, what do you think?"

Dr Grant: "My first thought is to get as many samples back to Earth as possible so that we can look into the whole question of the possibility of life existing on this planet."

Paul Travers: "Sure, but is your initial reaction?"

Dr Grant: "I think the atmosphere would be breathable, but too thin to sustain life as we know it. But it looks as if the early Martian photographs are going to prove right, inasmuch as there's no water up here."

Greg Martin: "And you can tell all this from your instruments, Doctor?"

Dr Grant: "Eighty percent instruments, twenty percent intuition."

Dr Pierce: "I agree with all Doctor Grant has just said, but I've always been fascinated by that phrase 'Life as we know it'. I have a feeling that we may encounter life as we don't know it."

Dr Pierce: "These strange formations seem to be all over this part of the planet's surface. Don't ask me why, but they worry me." as he said that it showed strange Rock formations on the rocks by them

Dr Grant: "Now, Ray, don't let your imagination run riot."

Dr Pierce: "Yeah, Tony, I know it would be all too easy to happen up here, but can you account for the strange formation of those rocks?"

Dr Grant: "Well, obviously considerable study would have to be made before we know the answer, but erm... my first impression is that when the crust of the planet was very thin , it was struck by meteorites. As the meteorite punctured the shell, so the hot rock exuded onto the planet's surface. Like toothpaste out of a tube."

Dr Pierce: "Good theory, Tony. Now explain to me how the exuding rock wrapped itself into a coil."

Dr Grant: "You know, Ray, you've got a point."

Paul Travers: "Now, clearly, gentlemen, this is one of the things we have to investigate. We are falling behind schedule, can we move on?"

Dr Grant: "Sure, Paul. Sorry about that."

the zero x Cockpit start moveing again 

Greg Martin: "You know, Ray, I don't like the look of these peculiar formations either, though I'm sure they're just rocks. I've been watching them very carefully, there's no sign of movement."

Dr Grant: "I think we'd better take a sample back to Earth."

Dr Pierce: "I must say I think that would be a wise precaution, Tony. Can you break one up for us, Paul? Then I'll go out and collect some pieces."

Paul Travers: "Sure."

with that a small mount gun come out and ames at one of the rock formations

Dr Pierce: "OK, Paul. Not too big a charge now, I want to get a sizeable piece."

Paul Travers: "OK, Ray."

Dr Pierce: "And Paul...."

Paul Travers: "Yeah?"

Dr Pierce: "As soon as you fire, I recommend you stand by at the ready."

Greg Martin: "Stand by at the ready? What for?"

Dr Pierce: "I don't really know. I've just got a feeling, that's all."

soon the gun fired blowing up one of the formations and making peas fall down the hill and stop just next to Zero x

Dr Pierce: "Right, I'll go and get my gear."

Paul Travers: "Greg, get the airlock ready."

Greg Martin: "OK, sir."

soon one of the formations turn in to a rock snakes as it un tangles it self and the other around it do to then is fire some thing out is mouth that look to be a plazmer weapon and it hit Zerox x

Greg Martin: "Doctor Pierce! Come back in here, quickly!"

Paul Travers: "Zero-X from MEV. We're under attack from a form of life we do not understand. Require immediate rendezvous with main body."

Brad Newman ( on radio): "I've just come round on third orbit. Will be in rendezvous position in four minutes."

Paul Travers: "OK, Brad. We'll take evasive action down here until you're in position. Give us lift-off clearance the second it's OK."

Brad Newman ( on radio): "Will do."

Dr Grant: "But Paul, we must lift off immediately. We don't know what damage these things can do to us!"

Zero x start moving as more of the rock monsters fire at them

Greg Martin: "Take it easy, Doctor. We can't lift off until the main ship is in the correct rendezvous position. Otherwise, we'll run out of gas and be stranded in space."

Paul Travers: "Turn to starboard, Greg. There's a whole line of them ahead of us."

they do so and soon come to a stop to where they need to be and take a vew hits

Paul Travers: "OK, Greg, we'd better return their fire. We can't take too much of this punishment."

Greg Martin: "OK, skipper. So far, all systems are go."

and with that they start fireing back but more of the rock monsters keep coming

Paul Travers: "Zero-X from MEV. How are we doing, Brad?"

Brad Newman ( on radio): "Approaching orbital position. Starting countdown now. Rendezvous lift-off minus 100... 99... 98."

Zero x Main body is seen making is way in Orbit 

Brad Newman ( on radio): "34... 33... 32..."

Paul Travers: "Brad, skip the countdown, we're lifting off."

Brad Newman ( on radio): "But Paul, you may not make it. You may not have enough fuel!"

Paul Travers: "We have no choice, we're coming up. OK, Greg, lift off."

with that Zero x cockpit fired up and flew off the ground the monster still firing at them

Greg Martin: "Leaving atmosphere, Paul."

Paul Travers: "Right."

Brad Newman ( on radio): "MEV from Zero-X, I have you on my screen. You're approaching Zero-X orbital path. Five seconds till retro-firing. 4... 3... 2... 1... Retros."

with that they fire the Retros and slow down

Paul Travers: "Thanks, Brad. Guess we'll make it OK now. All systems here appear to be at green."

with that Zero x link up above the planet and start making it way home to earth

( end of part 2 part 3 coming soon)
