Plot

Beaming a music programme to Earth, DJ Bob Lynn, captain of the orbiting TVR-17 satellite, makes arrangements with ground control to re-enter the atmosphere. A submarine is a Watercraft that can operate independently below water as distinct from a Submersible that has only limited underwater capability EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001 A disc jockey (also known as DJ or deejay) is a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience This article is about artificial satellites For natural satellites also known as moons see Natural satellite. Mission Control Center (MCC is a unit that manages aerospace flights Temperature and layers The temperature of the Earth's atmosphere varies with altitude the mathematical relationship between temperature and altitude varies among five However, Captain Black infiltrates the building, binds and gags the controller and coordinates the craft to descend too early. Captain Black is the fictional nemesis of Captain Scarlet and recurring Mysteron agent in the 1960s British Supermarionation Science fiction Lynn is helpless as the satellite overheats and explodes. Aerodynamic heating is the heating of a solid body produced by the passage of fluid (such as air over a body such as a Meteor, Missile, or Airplane.

As the Mysteron rings pan over the hull of another TVR-17, the Cloudbase personnel listen to the music with interest. The Mysterons are a fictional race of Extraterrestrials which appear in the British Science fiction Supermarionation Television series' For the cloud structure see Cloud base. Cloudbase is the fictional skyborne headquarters of international security organisation Spectrum from Colonel White is unimpressed with their idleness but allows Lieutenant Green to keep the radio channel open. 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 Radio is the transmission of signals by Modulation of electromagnetic waves with frequencies below those of visible Light. However, the noise level reaches an unbearable level and Green detects the TVR-17 on radar on a collision course with the base. Radar is a system that uses electromagnetic waves to identify the range altitude direction or speed of both moving and fixed objects such as Aircraft, ships A collision course, also known as a Kamikaze run, is the deliberate maneuver by the operator of a moving object (or often in Sci-Fi a spaceship

Transmitting to Earth, the Mysterons threaten to kill Colonel White. In Cloudbase control, Captain Scarlet is unconvinced that the satellite is in the hands of the Mysterons. Captain Scarlet is the fictional main character in Gerry Anderson 's British Supermarionation Science fiction Television series Nevertheless, White orders for Symphony Angel to be launched to destroy it. Symphony succeeds with one shot and returns to the carrier.

In the Cloudbase botanic room, Scarlet is adamant to Captain Blue that the satellite’s destruction was too hasty. Captain Blue (real name Adam Svenson is a character in the 1960s Supermarionation Television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. White reveals that he is the next Mysteron target and announces that he will leave Cloudbase for the safety of its personnel. However, Scarlet refuses to act as interim commander and White accepts Blue as his replacement. As the Colonel departs for a secret destination, Green discloses that Scarlet’s doubts about the TVR-17 were misguided and that the original satellite was destroyed three hours before its Mysteron reconstruction attacked Cloudbase. Scarlet is curious to know whether the Lieutenant has been informed of White’s plans. Green implies that it is true, but will not give anything away.

Posing as an deep sea fisherman under the pseudonym of Robert Snow, Colonel White is lowered from a helijet onto the deck of the USS Panther II submarine and met by the crew. The deep sea, or deep layer, is the lowest layer in the Ocean, existing below the Thermocline, at a depth of 1000 fathoms or more A fisherman or fisher is someone who gathers Fish, Shellfish, or other animals from a body of water A pseudonym is a fictitious alternative to a person's legal name (see Alias) A submarine is a Watercraft that can operate independently below water as distinct from a Submersible that has only limited underwater capability Later, the captain orders his assistant, Lieutenant Belmont, to submerge the vessel. However, a chain closes around the leg of Ensign Soames as he works outside and the crewmember drowns while frantically trying to open the hatch to the lower decks. Drowning is Death as caused by suffocation when a liquid causes interruption of the body's absorption of oxygen from the air leading to Asphyxia. As Belmont halts the descent at a depth of ten fathoms, the Mysteron rings track Soames’s body and the captain orders his reconstruction to act as White’s steward. A fathom is a unit of Length in the Imperial system (and the derived U

Meanwhile, on Cloudbase, personnel are beginning to resent Captain Blue’s leadership. As their colleagues return from exhaustive target practice, Destiny and Rhapsody Angels are informed that they must attend a lecture from Dr Fawn on the physiology of the lower primates. Physiology (from Greek grc φύσις physis, "nature origin" and grc -λογία -logia) is the study of the mechanical physical Prosimians are the most primitive extant Primates they have characteristics similar to forms that were ancestral to Monkeys Apes and Destiny yearns for Colonel White to return.

On the Panther II, the reconstructed Soames approaches White’s cabin with a gun. Opening the door, he takes aim at the inhabitant, but White opens fire with a pistol of his own. As Belmont and the captain hear shooting in the control room, a gas pipe is hit in the gunfight and Soames tries to find his target in the mist. The rest of the crew start to burn their way through the bulkhead door that Soames has sealed but the Mysteron agent finally manages to gun down his victim. A bulkhead is an upright wall within the hull of a Ship. Other kinds of partition elements within a ship are decks and Deckheads Etymology However, with his last strength, the figure returns fire and Soames is killed. The crew push over the bulkhead door.

With the gas cleared, Robert Snow is nowhere to be seen and the captain orders for an immediate search of the vessel. However, hearing muffled grunts, he opens the door to a store cupboard - and finds a bound and gagged White inside.

It transpires that Captain Scarlet stowed away onboard the Panther II, knocked White unconscious and then sat in his cabin wearing his clothes. Belmont is puzzled why the Colonel, whose true identity may now be revealed, threatens to punish his impostor even though Soames shot Scarlet dead.

Back on Cloudbase, a revived Scarlet tells an impatient Colonel White that he used his Spectrum ID to pass through Navy security and gained access to the Panther II just before it left its dock. White is appalled to discover that Scarlet pulled rank on Lieutenant Green to force him to reveal his secret location. In view of the charges made against Scarlet, the Colonel sentences him to death, but then humorously remembers that the Captain is indestructible. Capital punishment, the death penalty or execution, is the Killing of a person by judicial process as Punishment. Dismissing Scarlet, ordering the Angels to prepare for target practice and demanding reports from Green, White and the rest of the Cloudbase personnel are glad that things are back to normal.
