Synopsis

The Mysterons threaten to "kill time" and Spectrum is baffled until they discover that the target is a top army general. The Mysterons are a fictional race of Extraterrestrials which appear in the British Science fiction Supermarionation Television series' The military leader is due to have revolutionary brain treatment, but will Spectrum realise that his doctor is a Mysteron before it is too late?

Plot

In a London operating theatre, two students observe as neurosurgeon Dr Magnus operates on a patient using the pioneering technology of the Cerebral Pulsator. The human brain controls the Central nervous system (CNS by way of the Cranial nerves and Spinal cord, the Peripheral nervous system (PNS London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. An operating theater (or theatre) was a tiered Theater or Amphitheater in which students and other spectators could watch surgeons perform surgery Neurosurgery is the surgical discipline focused on treating those central, Peripheral nervous system and spinal column diseases amenable to surgical The machine is switched on and electrodes pass a small electrical current over the patient’s brain. An electrode is an Electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e Electric current is the flow (movement of Electric charge. The SI unit of electric current is the Ampere.

EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001 The Mysterons are a fictional race of Extraterrestrials which appear in the British Science fiction Supermarionation Television series'

Cloudbase personnel are puzzled by the obscure threat. For the cloud structure see Cloud base. Cloudbase is the fictional skyborne headquarters of international security organisation Spectrum from Colonel White dispatches his top officers to the world’s major cities to keep a lookout for leads on the target. Colonel White is a character in the 1960s Supermarionation Television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Meanwhile, Dr Magnus’s operation has been a success. He bids goodnight to his colleague, Dr Turner, before leaving the hospital in his car. Unaware that the vehicle behind is being driven by Captain Black, he stops at the Westbourne Clinic to obtain a treatment consent signature from his next patient, General J. Captain Black is the fictional nemesis of Captain Scarlet and recurring Mysteron agent in the 1960s British Supermarionation Science fiction F. Tiempo. However, while driving away from the clinic, he is shot at by Black and drives through a red light in order to lose the hostile car. Thinking himself in the clear, he is shocked when Black catches up with him and shoots one of his rear tyres. Magnus loses control and swerves over a ridge, his vehicle crashing and exploding on the ground below. As the Mysteron rings pan over the body, a second Dr Magnus appears on the ridge above. Standing behind, Captain Black instructs him to "kill time".

On Cloudbase, the search for information appears fruitless until Captain Magenta discovers that General Tiempo, the Commander of Western Region World Defence, whose name means "time" in Spanish, is due to have a brain operation the next day. At the Westbourne Clinic, the duplicated Dr Magnus is checking on Tiempo while he sleeps when Captain Scarlet enters the room. Captain Scarlet is the fictional main character in Gerry Anderson 's British Supermarionation Science fiction Television series The Spectrum officer reveals that he has orders to escort them both to Cloudbase.

Colonel White explains that Tiempo has been brought to the base for his protection. Magnus is adamant that the operation must take place immediately and rejects Dr Fawn’s calls to postpone it in view of the Mysteron threat. Reluctantly, White orders for the Cloudbase Sickbay to be prepared.

Dr Turner and the rest of the medical team arrive on Cloudbase while Magnus takes a series of X-rays of Tiempo’s head. X-radiation (composed of X-rays) is a form of Electromagnetic radiation. During processing, the radiographer is unimpressed when he comes across an X-ray with Magnus’s hand in the shot. For medical radiography see Radiology Radiography is the use of X-rays to view unseen or hard-to-image objects With everyone ready in the Sickbay, Magnus impatiently awaits the arrival of the X-rays. Meanwhile, Colonel White and Lieutenant Green watch from the control room via video link. Lieutenant Green (real name Seymour Griffiths is the assistant of Colonel White in the Supermarionation Television series series Captain Scarlet Assisted by Dr Fawn, Magnus applies the primary treatment to Tiempo’s head but is irritable when questioned about his behaviour. Ordering for the Cerebral Pulsator to be switched on, he snaps at Fawn when the Spectrum doctor protests at the strength of the voltage that he has chosen. Electrical tension (or voltage after its SI unit, the Volt) is the difference of electrical potential between two points of an electrical

Meanwhile, the radiographer is shocked to find the useless X-ray now showing Magnus’s hand as an ordinary black-and-white image. Fearing that Magnus is a Mysteron agent, he commands Captain Magenta to allow him entry to the Sickbay, but the Spectrum officer is maintaining a strict armed guard at the door. Instead, the radiographer rushes to Colonel White in the control room.

After applying the electrodes, Tiempo’s pulse and breathing rapidly become spasmodic, but Magnus sends the Pulsator into overdrive and the general is killed by the seizure. In Medicine, a person's pulse is the throbbing of their arteries. Breathing takes Oxygen in and Carbon dioxide out of the body Aerobic Organisms require oxygen to create energy via respiration, in However, Dr Fawn lifts the cover over the patient’s face and Magnus finds to his horror that Tiempo was replaced with Captain Scarlet. Colonel White orders for Magnus to be placed under arrest, but the Mysteron agent has other ideas and smashes his way out of the Sickbay, knocking out Captain Magenta. Captain Blue follows Magnus into the generator room and tries to reason with him, but the doctor rebuffs his words. Captain Blue (real name Adam Svenson is a character in the 1960s Supermarionation Television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Blue knocks a ladder over Magnus and the Mysteron agent is killed when he comes into contact with naked electrical circuitry.

General Tiempo thanks Colonel White for Spectrum’s help and White directs the gratitude to the revived Captain Scarlet. The Colonel then announces a desire to exploit the Mysteron weaknesses of resistance to X-ray and vulnerability to high-voltage current. The term high voltage characterizes electrical circuits in which the voltage used is the cause of particular safety concerns and insulation requirements
