At the rate of 10 years per second, he quickly becomes too feeble to fire his weapon. Helena manages to stay out of his line of fire as he begins to age. Cantar tries to shoot Helena in retribution, but she has scratched the protective membrane that has maintained his youth for the last 300 years. Cantar watches as Koenig unhooks Zova's life line and pushes her out of the Eagle. They all suit up and attach life lines for the space walk. He, Maya, and Zova are taken to recover another capsule. Koenig ultimately gives in and agrees to recover the rest of the capsules. Zova digs her fingernails into the sculpture of Helena, and Helena's screams can be heard. She tells koenig of their plan and he refuses to cooperate. Zova tells her that the Alphans will recover the rest of their group, then returns to over see the operation. Mirella counters that the two of them will not be able to hold all of Golos captive. Mirella arrives and Cantar tells her to tell the people of Golos that they are the new rulers of the planet, and if she does not comply he will destroy the life plant. Cantar threatens to destroy the main life plant if the ruler of the planet is not brought before him. When they arrive at their destination, they are recognized as exiles. Cantar and Zova kidnap Helena and Tony, and take them to their homeworld of Golos via the teleportation device they created from the life support systems. Maya tries to stop them by changing into a black panther, but is stunned by Zova. When they arrive, Tony manages to set off the alarm before he is stunned. There is an explosion caused by their tampering and Tony and Maya rush to the Power Room to investigate. Helena tries to sound the alarm, but is stopped by Zova. Cantar incapcitates the guard and enters the restricted area. The security guard tries to stun him to no effect. When they do finish Cantar heads for the Power Room which is off limits. They tell her they are almost finished with their modifications. There, she checks on Cantar and Zova's progress. He tells her she is needed in life support. He says there is none, aand Helena tells him he is no longer getting the bust she made for him! After a kiss from both of them, he is asked if he can tell the difference. While she is showing it to Maya, John stops by for a visit, but not before Maya transforms into Helena's double. During her off time Helena is sculpting a bust of herself for John. Cantar is returned to Medical Center to recover from being stunned, but is not so vulnerable to stun guns as we were lead to believe.Ĭantar and Zova begin work on modifying the life support systems to enable the rescue of their comrades. Koenig agrees to let them try after stunning Cantar to make sure their weapons will be effective against them if something goes wrong. Could they let all of those people die without trying. Koenig tells him no, but Tony and Helena ask him to reconsider, asking what price is too high for survival. Cantar tells him that He and Zova could enhance the life support systems to more than compensate for them. Koenig tells him that Alpha's life support systems can't support that many additional people. While she is being revived Cantar asks Koenig to save the rest of his people before the gravity of the Moon crushes the capsules. They select the one paired with Cantar's, and with his help, are able to open it successfully. Koenig orders another one brought down so that they can try to open one without damaging it. It turns out the pods are cryogenic chambers, and Koenig wants to know how they work. He is rushed to Medical Center, where he is revived. When they look to see what is inside they are surprised to find the lifeless body of a young humanoid male. They finally succeed, but not before damaging the capsule itself. Using every precaution, they attempt to open it. The safest place to examine it is an underground research facility at the outskirts of the base. Still unable to learn anything, they bring one back to Alpha. Unable to penetrate the cylinders with the sensors, Koenig and Maya take an Eagle up to investigate them. Eagles are launched to intercept, but before they come into range, they alter course, again, and go into lunar orbit. When they change course for Alpha, the base goes to red alert. That is, until sensors detect a group of objects in space which resemble a "swarm of space bees". But can they be trusted? Prologue Īll is quiet, and the universe around Alpha seems at peace. Two who return to consciousness on the moon have a grim story to tell. In them: humans from another planet, preserved in a frozen state for 300 years. You're like the people here on Golos - crippled by your moral ideas of loyalty, gratitude and fair play - Cantar.
