Plot

Late at night, a car carrying World Air Force test pilot, Major Gravener, is being driven along a country road. 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 Test pilots are Aviators who fly new and modified Aircraft in specific maneuvers allowing the results to be measured and the design to be evaluated Ahead, Captain Black starts a heavy-duty truck and drives in the opposite direction. Captain Black is the fictional nemesis of Captain Scarlet and recurring Mysteron agent in the 1960s British Supermarionation Science fiction Unaware that Black has extended false headlights into their lane on a beam, Gravener's driver, Harris, fears a crash and swerves off the road into a lake. A lake (from Latin lacus) is a Terrain feature (or Physical feature) a body of Liquid on the surface of a world that is localized to the Black observes as the vehicle sinks and Gravener's drowned body floats the surface. As the Mysteron rings pan over the dead pilot, a Mysteron reconstruction appears beside him. The Mysterons are a fictional race of Extraterrestrials which appear in the British Science fiction Supermarionation Television series'

Transmitting to Earth, the Mysterons announce their intention to destroy the world capital, Futura City. EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001 World government is the concept of a political body that would make interpret and enforce International law. In Cloudbase control, Colonel White warns that Spectrum must keep a lookout for clues on the attack. For the cloud structure see Cloud base. Cloudbase is the fictional skyborne headquarters of international security organisation Spectrum from Colonel White is a character in the 1960s Supermarionation Television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. Meanwhile, two doctors, Mitchell and Baxter, are driving away from a conference when they stumble across the scene of Gravener's accident. Spotting his body in the water, they think that the pilot could be revived and call an ambulance to take them to Slaton Hospital.

As the time approaches midnight, Mitchell and Baxter fight to save Gravener, but his circulation and breathing have stopped and he is not responding to chest depressions. 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 This is an article about the rock music band "Circulatory System" Breathing takes Oxygen in and Carbon dioxide out of the body Aerobic Organisms require oxygen to create energy via respiration, in However, just as they are about to give up, the Major’s heart restarts and he inhales deeply. The heart is a muscular organ in all Vertebrates responsible for pumping Blood through the Blood vessels by repeated rhythmic Baxter believes that Gravener is a very lucky man.

The next morning, the duplicate Gravener arrives at Slaton Airbase. He commands a sergeant to have an XK-107 bomber prepared for takeoff, armed with a nuclear warhead. A bomber is a Military aircraft designed to attack ground and sea targets primarily by dropping Bombs on them Takeoff is the phase of Flight in which an Aircraft goes through a transition from moving along the ground ( Taxiing) to flying in the air usually A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from Nuclear reactions either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Typically a warhead is the Explosive material and Detonator that is delivered by a Missile, Rocket, or Torpedo. However, the hospital calls to report the car accident and trucks block Gravener's path as he speeds down the runway. A runway ( RWY) is a strip of land on an Airport, on which Aircraft can take off and land. The Mysteron agent veers away and his plane explodes as it crashes into a building.

Cloudbase learns that there were two Graveners at the time of the incident. Colonel White dispatches Captains Scarlet and Blue to Slaton Hospital. 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. There, the Spectrum officers enlighten the convalescent Major: because he was medically dead for two hours, the Mysterons were able to make a copy of him, probably to attack Futura City. Scarlet admits that Spectrum now require his help. The test pilot accepts despite the obvious risks.

Later, the real Major Gravener takes off from the airbase in another XK-107. In a Spectrum Saloon on the ground, Scarlet and Blue discuss how they intend to deceive the Mysterons by making it seem that the bomber is being piloted by their own agent. The Spectrum Saloon Car ( SSC) or Spectrum Patrol Car ( SPC) is a fictional vehicle from Gerry Anderson's Science fiction Television Gravener's journey will be tracked by Spectrum ground forces and hopefully the Mysterons will reveal details of their plan of attack on Futura.

Eventually, Captain Black contacts Gravener through his disembodied voice. He instructs the Major to land at Western Airstrip where he is waiting in his truck. Hearing the message over their car radio, Scarlet and Blue set off for the airfield. Scarlet deduces that the Mysteron Gravener's plane would have acted as a decoy so that the nuclear warhead could be transferred to a road vehicle and thedn covertly driven into Futura. Blue is confident that Captain Black will at last be captured.

The Angel craft fly over Western Airstrip and Black tries to flee in his truck. He races to drive through the exits but Spectrum vehicles obstruct his escape. As Black makes for an unguarded outlet, Scarlet orders Destiny Angel to divert him with a warning shot. Black crosses onto the runway just as Gravener touches down in the XK-107 and is forced to crash into a bunker. However, inspecting the wreckage, Scarlet and Blue find a dead, reconstructed Harris rather than Captain Black.

On Cloudbase, Colonel White acknowledges that Black has evaded Spectrum once more. Blue suspects that Black has a special "sixth sense" to warn him of danger. Extrasensory perception (ESP is the apparent ability to acquire information by Paranormal means independent of any known physical Senses or deduction from previous Scarlet points out that the Mysterons could not distinguish between the original Major Gravener and their reconstruction. He declares that they must exploit this chink in their armour to prise it open.
