Synopsis

Astronomers at a powerful Himalayan observatory are in the final stages of an operation to obtain unprecedented close-up shots of Mars. Astronomy (from the Greek words astron (ἄστρον "star" and nomos (νόμος "law" is the scientific study An observatory is a location used for observing terrestrial and/or celestial events A survey probe lands on one of the planet’s moons, but will the photographs ever reach Earth while a Mysteron agent carries out his plans of sabotage?

Plot

At the K14 Observatory in the Himalayas, Captains Scarlet and Blue watch as the three resident astronomers, Carter, Breck and Angelini, coordinate a space probe nearing Mars. A space probe is a scientific Space exploration mission in which a Robotic spacecraft leaves the Gravity well of Earth and approaches the A natural satellite or moon is a Celestial body that Orbits a Planet or smaller body which is called the primary. 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' An observatory is a location used for observing terrestrial and/or celestial events Captain Scarlet is the fictional main character in Gerry Anderson 's British Supermarionation Science fiction Television series Captain Blue (real name Adam Svenson is a character in the 1960s Supermarionation Television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Astronomy (from the Greek words astron (ἄστρον "star" and nomos (νόμος "law" is the scientific study A space probe is a scientific Space exploration mission in which a Robotic spacecraft leaves the Gravity well of Earth and approaches the The craft is due to beam photographs of the planet back to Earth, but it explodes two seconds before commencement. EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001 The radio signals reach the observatory after a four-minute interval but it is quickly discovered that the probe has been destroyed. Scarlet informs Cloudbase that the first phase of "Operation Sword" is complete. For the cloud structure see Cloud base. Cloudbase is the fictional skyborne headquarters of international security organisation Spectrum from

Transmitting to Earth, the Mysterons announce that they have destroyed the eye that dares to look upon their planet and that Spectrum will never learn their secret. The Mysterons are a fictional race of Extraterrestrials which appear in the British Science fiction Supermarionation Television series' On Cloudbase, Colonel White reports the destruction of the probe. Colonel White is a character in the 1960s Supermarionation Television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. He reminds personnel that this was expected and that Operation Sword is underway. Because K14 Observatory is beyond the range of the Angel craft, White orders Lieutenant Green to move Cloudbase itself using the carrier’s horizontal jets. Lieutenant Green (real name Seymour Griffiths is the assistant of Colonel White in the Supermarionation Television series series Captain Scarlet

Later, a second probe is approaching Mars. Blue is confident of its success because the observatory is tracking it through infrared emissions rather than detectable radio signals. Infrared ( IR) radiation is Electromagnetic radiation whose Wavelength is longer than that of Visible light, but shorter than that of The probe shields itself behind the Martian moon Phobos and does not explode as it touches down on the satellite. A natural satellite or moon is a Celestial body that Orbits a Planet or smaller body which is called the primary. At the observatory, Carter announces the successful landing and that the probe will have a free ride around Mars as Phobos orbits the planet. It will take a photograph every seven seconds and the images will be beamed back to Earth at 3am, after Phobos has completed one orbit.

That night, Scarlet is on watch when he is disturbed by Breck, who is unable to sleep. Viewing Mars through a telescope, Breck says that the probe landed in the "shadow of fear", explaining that phobos means fear in Greek. A telescope is an instrument designed for the observation of remote objects and the collection of Electromagnetic radiation. Greek (el ελληνική γλώσσα or simply el ελληνικά — "Hellenic" is an Indo-European language, spoken today by 15-22 million people mainly Blue arrives at midnight to relieve Scarlet and closes the door to the balcony, leaving Breck on his own. Midnight is literally "the middle of the night" In most systems it is when one day ends and the next begins when the date changes Through the telescope, Mars begins to pulsate with light and Breck is overwhelmed. He falls to the floor dead and the Mysteron rings pan over his body, creating a Mysteron reconstruction. Blue enters the room and sees Breck alone, but the duplicate says that he is fine.

Towards 3am, it is discovered that Breck has gone missing and Scarlet suspects that he has been taken over the Mysterons. He is unaware that the Mysteron agent has attached an explosive device to the observatory’s rotation gear. Colonel White dispatches a Spectrum helicopter to scour the mountains around K14 and Scarlet and Blue venture outside with a Mysteron Detector. History Since 400 AD Chinese children have played with bamboo flying toys. Meanwhile, Carter and Angelini prepare their equipment to receive the Martian photographs.

While Melody Angel pilots the helicopter, Captain Grey spots Breck in the rocks above the observatory. Scarlet and Blue confront the Mysteron agent, but Breck reveals that he has sabotaged K14’s rotation gear. Scarlet shoots Breck, but is unable to warn Carter and Angelini before they turn the aerial to obtain the best possible reception for the photographs. An antenna is a Transducer designed to transmit or Receive electromagnetic waves In other words antennas convert electromagnetic waves into The charge explodes and the antenna crashes down on the observatory, causing total destruction. While the probe remains intact on Phobos, Scarlet informs Colonel White that K14 has been completely destroyed and that Carter and Angelini must have been killed.

In Cloudbase control, White tells Lieutenant Green that Phobos was the attendant of Mars in Greek mythology. Phobos ( Ancient Greek, "Fear" is the embodiment of Fear and horror in Greek mythology. In Greek mythology, Ares ( Ancient Greek:, Μodern Greek Άρης) is the son of Zeus and Hera. Greek mythology is the body of stories belonging to the ancient Greeks concerning their gods and Heroes the nature of the world and the origins and significance However, although humankind is now living in the shadow of fear, Operation Sword will continue.
