Captain Scarlet is the fictional main character in Gerry Anderson 's British Supermarionation Science fiction Television series In the Control Room, Colonel White is curious why Lieutenant Green is constantly checking the time but does not pursue the matter. Colonel White is a character in the 1960s Supermarionation Television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Lieutenant Green (real name Seymour Griffiths is the assistant of Colonel White in the Supermarionation Television series series Captain Scarlet

Downstairs, the captains inspect a set of champagne bottles. Champagne is a Sparkling wine produced by inducing the in-bottle Secondary fermentation of Wine to effect Carbonation. The Angels are on their way and Captain Blue radios Green to suggest that he collect a report. Captain Blue (real name Adam Svenson is a character in the 1960s Supermarionation Television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. White is too preoccupied with his work to notice the Lieutenant leave his post. With everyone except the Colonel present, the champagne is opened, but no one notices the Mysteron rings pan over the bottles. The Mysterons are a fictional race of Extraterrestrials which appear in the British Science fiction Supermarionation Television series'

Scarlet reminds the party that it is July 7 and that Spectrum's inaugural charter is now precisely one year old - today is the organisation's first anniversary. Events 1456 - A retrial verdict acquits Joan of Arc of heresy 25 years after her death A charter is the grant of authority or rights stating that the granter formally recognizes the prerogative of the recipient to exercise the rights specified An anniversary (from the Latin anniversarius, from the words for year and to turn meaning (returning yearly known in English since c. Scarlet proposes a toast, but while everyone else starts to drink, Blue accidentally knocks Scarlet's glass, which smashes on the floor. A toast is someone or something in Honor of which people usually have a drink the drink or honor itself or the act ( Pledge) of indicating that honor

Meanwhile, White has noticed Green's absence. Entering the Conference Room, the Colonel furiously demands an explanation for the party. Scarlet says that the champagne is non-alcoholic, and was sent by a well-wisher but has been cleared by security. A non-alcoholic beverage is a Beverage that contains no Alcohol. Nevertheless, White orders all personnel to return to their stations and guarantees further disciplinary action.

Transmitting to Earth, the Mysterons threaten to destroy the World Navy Complex at Atlantica. EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001 On Cloudbase, Captain Scarlet runs through the layout of the underwater base: if any aircraft were to cross the outer Defence Warning System ring, sea-to-air missiles would blast off to destroy the intruder. A surface to air missile ( SAM) or ground-to-air missile ( GTAM) is a Missile designed to be launched from the ground to destroy Aircraft The Defence System is run by electronics in the Control Tower and nearby submarines would destroy any surface or undersea raider. Although the complex already looks impregnable, Colonel White orders for Symphony Angel to be launched for aerial patrol. However, once airborne, Symphony does not respond to Lieutenant Green's radio calls and almost deliberately nosedives into the ocean. Radio is the transmission of signals by Modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible Light. She eventually regains control of herself and gives Green details of her current visibility. In Meteorology, visibility is a measure of the Distance at which an object or light can be clearly discerned

On Cloudbase, White reveals that, in view of the Mysteron threat, Spectrum is taking over an operation to bomb and disperse a wreck drifting towards Atlantica. A bomb is any of a range of devices that typically rely on the Exothermic Chemical reaction of an Explosive material to produce an extremely A shipwreck can refer to a wrecked ship or to the event that caused the wreck such as the striking of something that causes the ship to sink the stranding of the ship on rocks He assigns Captains Blue and Ochre to use a V17 Air Force Bomber for this purpose. An air force, also known in some countries as an air army or historically an army air corps, is in the broadest sense the national military or armed service Ground-attack aircraft are military aircraft designed to attack targets on the ground and are often deployed as Close air support for and in proximity to their own ground forces

At Maxwell Field, Blue and Ochre are briefed on their mission by Commander Williams, who explains that the two bombs to be dropped have been custom-made for the task. The Spectrum officers are inattentive and appear to be unaware of their duties. As they leave, Captain Black knocks a door into Ochre's hand and the Spectrum officers' instructions and navigation documents fall to the ground. Navigation is the process of reading and controlling the movement of a craft or vehicle from one place to another Blue and Ochre are in such a dreamlike state that do not notice Black switching the papers with an alternative set. They take off absent-mindedly in the V17 with Blue as pilot and Ochre as navigator and bombardier. A bombardier ( French for " bomberman " in the United States Army Air Forces and United States Air Force, or a bomb aimer

Meanwhile, on Cloudbase, Green cannot get a response from Symphony and informs White that she is over 200 miles off course. Angels Two and Three are launched to investigate, but all three pilots are soon flying erratically. Green and other Cloudbase personnel also fall into an irresponsible state and White and Scarlet discover that they are the only unaffected individuals. White suspects the unauthorised champagne and Scarlet realises that, because he dropped his glass, he and the Colonel were the only people who did not drink.

Onboard the V17, Ochre reads the instructions and vacantly says that they must drop the first bomb onto the Defence System Control Tower and the second onto Atlantica Base itself. In the Cloudbase Sickbay, Scarlet feeds a sample of the champagne into an auto-analyser. An automated analyser is a Medical laboratory instrument designed to measure different chemicals and other characteristics in a number of biological samples quickly with minimal He confirms that the compound induces amnesia and general irresponsibility. A chemical compound is a substance consisting of two or more different elements chemically bonded together in a fixed proportion by Mass. Amnesia (from Greek) is a condition in which Memory is disturbed White is contacted by Commander Williams and tells Scarlet that, although the Angels have landed safely, Blue and Ochre have crossed Atlantica Base's outer defence ring. The men leave Cloudbase in a Spectrum Jet to investigate.

The drugged Blue and Ochre release the first bomb and the Control Tower explodes, creating havoc with the defence missiles. Ochre deliriously falls asleep and Blue blocks out all emergency messages with jazz music as he prepares to drop the second charge on the base itself. Jazz is an American Musical art form which originated in the beginning of the 20th century in African American communities in the Southern United States Scarlet and White reach the danger zone. Seconds before the bomb release, they fire an air-to-air missile from their Jet and the V17 is crippled. An air-to-air missile ( AAM) is a guided Missile fired from an Aircraft for the purpose of destroying another aircraft Blue eventually ejects both himself and Ochre before the aircraft plunges into the ocean and explodes on the seabed. In Aircraft, an ejection seat is a system designed to rescue the pilot or other crew of an aircraft (usually military in an emergency "Ocean Floor" redirects here For the 2001 song by Audio Adrenaline, see Lift (Audio Adrenaline album.

Some time later on Cloudbase, White has gathered all personnel in the Conference Room. He announces that the Mysterons have had a partial success and reminds Scarlet of the need for discipline. The Colonel goes on to reveal that in fact today, July 10, is Spectrum's first anniversary - because the World President signed the organisation's charter three days after it was drawn up. Events 48 BC - Battle of Dyrrhachium, Julius Caesar barely avoids a catastrophic defeat to Pompey in Macedonia. White proposes a toast to Spectrum - this time with real champagne. Seeing that the bottles bear his name, Scarlet enthusiastically agrees.
