This is the playback of
a radio taped up on top of an exclusive feature Star anybody at any chronic Oh no
yawn Ray Peterson reporting Dateline December seventeenth year
twenty one sixteen. Spaceship Bravo Zulu eighty eight. Destiny
galaxy Adam twelve. SIMON LAUDER.
When.
They get a tour of my paper assigned me to cover
a routine check up again for radiation flux on
a galaxy M twelve. The
group members in order to overcome the earthly gravity have been subjected to
a state of hibernation that is the human body put through
a congealing process simulating at apparent death.
At
a preset time under the impulses of an electric brain with the heart resumes its normal
big billows begin the regular functioning the blood boiling evenly again in short.
Madden is reacquiring his birthplace faculties.
In the in the.
Movie. The. Lead.
The new one. In.
And to counteract the state of weightlessness caused by lack of gravitational
special magnetic boots are provided to control the balance of space travelers.
You can lose.
Lose lose you.
You live. In. While the
crew and I were still in the state of hibernation the engineer pilot our reported
our approach to international satellite so two extra three four. Bravos will
they call in little that's good reasonable while those who will be cold and flu
experts agree for over an extra three our promise. On direct
established hibernation period been aged over. Actually now Richard.
Relax the usual Bolduan awakening boy. By those who the eighty eight has
entered obit of your satellite traveled to the eighty eight closing electronic
brain. Over Roger an extravaganza Thanks for the.
Aid We got cargo aboard already. Wake up not
yet I haven't brought him in coffee. Probably will be eight requesting
a position or not I want oh OK. As then to the reporter as soon
as possible probable
a closing. Elachi I agree with that and this
time I had an injury at
a dream what about dreamt I were sleeping. Take over the controls
while I wake up the. Truer words are garbage I am
a lullaby That's right just call me space quit the guy why don't you just bring
a child
a bad buy with the. Bravo zero eight call the extra three for
over. Eight.
To come out of
a state of hibernation that yes I'm here except station. I didn't know home or
where I was until I heard Alice voice is based then.
This was not my first spaceflight. Previous assignments but my newspaper had
separate to the mode many times but never in the basket which is
a deep space. I fear the ten days of the crap ship with
a crew of seven men would resent the reporter's questions of lack of usefulness
like make me an unpopular passenger when the comet was much too small.
Why couldn't you have done me
a bigger one than the men. In the I would believe. Why
do you call me that. It just means that here you're
a barrister. Where are we going.
Outside one side everything when
businesses. Would send you that reporters soon as
possible. Now they're asking for the boys when.
We're off the bat. And will you get along fine just the people you know
when they're when
alone you'll be able to hear my instructions just remember to regulate your budget
when they when you're getting the tools of your trade.
What
the medicine is. Now what you see here. Stop treating me
like
a great car that you are my boy I took the accelerator course before I started on
this trip. It probably was too quick when I'm not going to take all the air out of
the decompression chamber you have an easier take. Give you
a count twenty to one that I like to do.
You don't know anything you.
Don't touch the metal frame around the action minus twenty. Why.
But the first time out they all behave the same way. Minus fifteen.
Cause you're
a. Show called Al
was absolutely right I was scared.
The artificial satellite is like an island in the sky. In order not to disturb its
calculated orbital chart we lined up two thousand people parallel to it. The
only way to get there was to flow through the terrifying void between.
When.
Him coming out do you want to hear berated explain to me what's going on of these
men's final exit to the bridge. When I
arrive. You're still there. To listen
the campaign is. Going to stand me
a jury on this day. Everywhere to demand its mysteries even out in
space I have never.
When. They return
around why
a. Barrel returning when out of the in the loop hole
want to get back to normal religion. Or at the end of your trip.
During.
Lunch aboard solo extra three four I passed through the decompression chamber I
love our games by not always because the gravitational area was similar to our
birth the reason for this being all space station was rotate around
a central axis. In
a way. In
the ship's cabin I was met by King one one six the doctor in charge of all crew
members physical and mental health. They got his base the report. The commander is
waiting for you. Say what kind of a guy is
a reporter is still smells there is
a. Special
correspondent Ray Peterson reporting to the commander. Of the rather famous.
Well I say my fame has reached the stars let me give you
a bit of advice here among the stars it is better not to be quite so calm you are
only two jobs don't worry that's what I tend to do. On condition that you don't get
a feel within hours you arrive here at
a critical moment so much the better peace and tranquility don't have any news
value.
SULLIVAN along with it take to reinstall the terminal stages to the spaceship that
arrives at just. Cancel all rest areas the ship is be ready as soon as possible
I just go to base twelve on Mars. You talk about Mars as if it were just down the
street. There are no street. I firmly opposed your.
Welcome. Are you trying to flatter me and refuse to listen to me it's apparent that
you have quite
a pull not me but my organization Don't forget. That everything you
put on your tail. Because it will have to be said by me before it's in fact the way
here everything is regulated by machine by living with
a very different you may go now later on you'll be shown your corps.
Working crews ready for. Change is. No sort of.
Everybody going for a big Nick. And working group leaving in
a space detail what if I want to go
a lot to get some air. You have to go in as the commanding represent isn't
necessary absolutely necessary. OK.
Hoping this special detail might make
a good story I went outside without permission to observe and photograph this
special detail was
a refueling operation one of the most dangerous and delicate operations in space
flight the engineers carried out in our midst to from the space station and
carefully attached it to
a rear about about our ship. Thousands of gallons of precious little high
precision are being pumped into our fuel tanks in order for us to go on to Mars.
To be here and suddenly I saw
a fiery ball racing toward the car but next time I pushed him out of the way the
subsequent reaction caused me to bump against the collection of the fuel valve
disconnecting it's
a blessing we are irreplaceable meal hydrazine escape. Lost
. Five hundred gallons of hybridity.
Last story. Furthermore you went without my permission. I
said I'm sorry even though I saved a man's life. You didn't come here to be
a hero. The damage to a just cause is much more serious than the mere loss of
a life. Evidently commanded by way of thinking the same prehistoric to you I
thought nothing was worse than the loss of
a human being but then I only say the number one three I didn't even see his face
maybe hadn't got one. I knew that you were going to give me
trouble I figure
a psychologist to tell OK Peterson let's get this straight from now on you must as
permission for everything you do and you won't ask me for last an improvement
you'll have to ask my second in command and I'm afraid you'll find that it's
tougher than I've. Got. You may go.
First commander tell me one thing why do you deny me the honor of talking to you.
It is.
A battle. I'm getting one one six pardon me for not
having called you by name allowed me into
a little Or what do you want. I'm looking for someone excuse me I'm looking
for
a number thank you one three It was injured we should be around here somewhere just
dismissed it was nothing but simple shots have
a look at the bio chemical lab rays excuse my curiosity Mr King one one six.
I commit. A statement.
The. Are you
getting me. Yes but you're. Gone you're
a girl. And you're selling flowers too. Then you'll sell it here thief I did.
It with
a name like that there are flowers. This is the purpose of changing hydrogen in to
be to Biloxi Jim Anderson this is scary here at the area. But I still
say there are flowers and if you like. To sell them.
On the faintness but maybe we can make
a deal. With you me Oh you see you would have to send them anyway.
I'll pay for them but then I'll leave them here for you.
If you work in the section. Sometimes. But I may be
a navigator. When
a networking with the etiquette and I could just do the section can. Make. I
mean when you work in the home no particular reason just to celebrate the second
smiling face of what in two hours was the first I find you thinking of you but
your day. Job in your numbers serials codes just are that.
Loose he like you that's not bad my uncle had
a mask up with that name. Because why do I like it very much it was
a monkey thank you the whole Really she was very cute I meant it as
a couple. Be flattering to people. You know might be too.
Could. Have already heard about you from George you know the commander my
old friend but doesn't the commander have
a number like everybody else not for me. And now if you'll forgive me.
I've got. Yankee one three.
I took us thank you Lee. I mean.
Following the order of the commander our came over to our ship to pilot
a space taxi but what jack up for grabs
a passage of asteroid into use you know for while we just made. The most
depressing action shot of your career shooting these rockets or something there are
rocks. There asteroids each of them seventeen and I think.
The commander of all the of the lot of five hundred gallon size when I say the high
and the girls. You have
a weakness for the. They actually doesn't even call it Sir George mylar it around
that and they were right they called it. Shaped. Old I would make
a sharp.
Jerk to understand. The tortoise leaving Yes.
But you go with them every year but that's exactly what you do something very
serious going on and all of the talk about it. We leave the mind with you to ask.
Me More about
a subject selected three for displaced background I'm already back to pick up
Roger Rabbit on nylon. Out and I ran to my earth
a good Jamaican feeling back in the twenty first century thanks that allowing it it
back into the saddle like. I wanted to join this march expedition. Order from the
high command on earth to persuade the commander to take me whether I don't
understand. What's making the pilot so like he promised to join us immediately.
Is the best there is.
I'm sorry to be late we've been waiting for you. The situation has become worse
we've got to leave immediately and you haven't been able to come to girls or to.
Alpha to there's nothing and. We think the pilot may be dead.
This could mean the end. That's what I'm afraid. Of on which he speaks.
Let him talk the second in command you pick it up and tell the. Yes to some.
Communication then of it.
That's all we needed this inquisitive bit of fearing that lead and he's
a pretty nice guy. Do you think that.
This is absurd Amanda you are insulting the high command absolutely against all
regulations any more criticisms Yes so have I but I keep them to myself.
Gentleman. For
a fairly. Jacket
went very well on the plates. When did your.
Band Vegas and is this where did the game and let him come with its in order aren't
you exaggerating and can increase the group and
continue without the radio I think we get along if we are. And I
prefer to do without you and me. I would not want my
choice influence my opinion is that enough checked. And
a way and I think I could get along better without a navigator than without
a radio operator. If I were the navigator. Then would you give up taking
one with you. Perhaps not if. You're not being objective
Besides I don't want to be there behind George. It's not that I pretend to be of
more value than the high command and I'm not of this that you aren't you are giving
me an order I. Can just be you and. I understand
you to your age I know that you always try to be witty if your position but you'd
be better off if for once you try to be worthy of your self.
And.
Lucy's plea to the commander was effective but we left the artificial satellite and
returned to our spaceship probable sort of
a date to see was aboard and set our course for Mars is
a nose dieldrin the. Nose of the spaceship is always done even when landing is not
referring to the spaceship though he's talking about me my congratulations
commander listen Peter's and remember your extraneous here so please keep your
place what place. I don't even.
Use when we haven't read. All the rest of your working I'm supposed to leap Dan's
an old children. All who.
Live. Ever since we came on this trip you've all. Done your very best to make me
feel like an outsider. Mike the graduation speech this is.
What the devil is going on I don't know sure looks like it might be
a magnetic stone money. In the way.
It made its position. Going into one one three initial position about it five one
to try to establish contact it looks like it moved.
From your way to a revolution or a two hundred then
a bright object over. Ready to help search
which the boys are going.
To trust Iran three across Iraq three across Highway. Robbery two
a day to Metro here one three go ahead and tax hikes on. The rock pile on the back
to our car. Try to get back into the orbit around Mars will accept rescue what
caused the explosion over impossible to say
a sudden rush of money over power to the instrument the Monterey the the tank that
exploded the structures melt in several places. Left.
One dead. Engineer put on your space suits and stand by for immediate bailout as
soon as you are of it radio out. Disconnect the boys are good and.
Giving them and they couldn't taking no. For you thinking the same thing over
and they can't make it I don't even.
Know we will be able to make it myself when the power of my.
Name in David. DAVID
No. No they had died.
For the. Day that no man.
Claiming. One of my and then started claiming.
I can make it again later I can maybe.
Someday and going to burgle ending. We will lie about will be.

And the limit. And. This is.
IN THE BUTT BOY the going down and I.
Think the big. One like. Lending area to

It would think.
It was.
Ninety. And one morning we were to be mean to sleep.
The night.
Is the life of the young captain with coming in. Nothing but just
working etc so I could get out of here.
To stay here look after. I'll take care of the.
Diodes are not.
Always the best. I think hold up so I guess fires were almost there anyway with
those. What do you mean. We've changed course without getting the big boys got like
. A direct order from the high command and you accepted it.
Do you realize commander that
a dying man in their. I don't have to accompany you to my actual love kept making
up an area of intense need. To almost imagine mechanic field in the sun itself when
they're on the same with
a thing in the elements in the no longer. Now but to
the by the tonic energy is now without the pipe to the living in the main room is
only controlled by the electronic brain the fatality which our radar is picked up
at the power of the structure in but to is reenter the soul
is that during the sun's next revolution she will start to orbit around the Earth
and will destroy the burning everything eliminating all forms of life with the hope
of stopping her. That's why we're doing to me this is it's the nearest point
to the elliptical that developed but. We have one chance in
a million. Our
world was in danger about to be to strike perhaps in a few days maybe
a few hours it was up to us I am full of cars but I try our millions of miles away
to try and save humanity.
Topside. And there the ocean and the tree.
You can even in my mind that can. I'd like to have done a road that's not
a tree when you. Can feel just once again the excitement of speed.
But we're already running at ninety thousand miles an hour and we're standing still
. The news in. Due to
a date is when you know that is the legal candidate No but you know what they
did it. It's been three hundred and fifty ninth in the nation around the sun that's
just part of why it's Christmas and.
We started to laugh it up to get a planetary pay something as
a bar just best equipped space closest to Alpha to. From there Alpha to be getter
setter and we hope destroyed by the remote controlled atomic mass folks.
Watching that the base Yes right under the protective don't miss too much hydrogen
and Venus that was fear. Looks like the glass dome of the temple you don't
need a respirator inside but about those plugs other purifying filters say that
a good way to cause
a storm is up in the. Town it was at that with want to protect itself the idea
still thundered don't put on your helmet kid. I'm going to take you on
a quick tour of business only this time it won't be for safety.
Emergency Action was taken immediately by firing an atomic missile at Alpha to get
that attempt to describe this deadly mechanical monster it doesn't but under
a thousand miles. Seven thousand five hundred. Seven thousand.
Six thousand miles five thousand eight hundred.
Two.
Disintegrated. Exactly at five thousand miles.
Will have
a chance to hit only of the electronic brain which propels or. Has gone out of
control. It's
a two foot down and generators which are moving gyroscopic they are each end of the
spaceship creating around Alpha to an invisible zero heat which radiates
up to five thousand miles. We just have the proof of it it's in the
structural. One of man dreams it's finally come to an indestructible display.
And let's we have
a sudden change in the next solar system revolution. Alpha to start opening around
the earth. And only thirty five hundred miles from it that means fifteen hundred
miles within the sick they live. In a few days maybe
a few hours. And it will become
a mass of boiling mud. As it was soon after its formation when the even something
might start to think maybe
a miracle. And while we're waiting for your miracles
I would suggest we immediately put into operation all the means at our disposal
they've already prepared to fire missiles from the other hemisphere Meanwhile why
don't you our young men to reach the audio stations on the beach.
Do stand by electronic telescope number seven. Six thousand eight hundred
one in five thousand and nine hundred thousand two hundred.
Five thousand one hundred in the seven hundred in two thousand and two thousand
the first two thousand two hundred.
I don't understand with your permissions that I have an explanation but is it I
think I've found the ends tended to I'm sure that due to some technical error that
spaceship is vulnerable. The two photonic deflectors that both mobility tools to me
see is separated in the field by
a channel. You mean like I have. A perfect example myself that's what I
missile is going through according to you it was the only one fired exactly into
the center of the channel but I did the last one did integrated twenty two hundred
miles because of some imperceptible deviation Perhaps I was attracted by one of the
pedantic fields. Which is right. There is still
a chance what chance. We'd have to fire on
a straight line from another spaceship traveling alongside altitude with the same
rate of speed I think I've earned the right to try to buy the right because if my
hunch turns out to be correct I'd like to be the one to the to the credit. And if
it's wrong you want to be the one to risk it there's an old atomic spaceship. I use
it for remote controlled missiles.
And I hope you'll manage to stay humanity.
We will take off and follow you as close as possible as all of us. As if we were
right there with you. All of it's.
A race now you have a chance to do a real exclusive. It'll be
a universal school. Let's just make it
a world school. We're
out of it now. It is there it will be that.
It's not everybody because then sixty Gemma's considering the fact that there's.

It's the space text of the disintegrated satellite. Is no circling in

Where do you think you'll go. Out of the Space X.
That's bad. Maybe so but that has not had the idea that brought it up. You stay
here this. Lucy loves you and Lucy has been and is everything in the
