Wonder Woman

Thirty-seven light years from Earth, in the star system Signus Alpha,

a combat commander from the planet Octarus

fights a battle that begins in space,

but will subsequently be fought on American soil.

Andros to base command.

Outlaws are in vector 1-2-0.

Interceptors being dispatched.

The Skrill are attempting to escape.

They appear to be successfully doing so.

Andros has his squadron after them.

Unsuccessfully.

They've both just been destroyed.

Perhaps.

We shall see.

- Andros to base pad. - Go ahead, Commander.

I am on docking trajectory.

Approaching main terminal, berth three. Locking on automatic.

We read you, Commander.

Make a 185-degree turn and adjust to the beta-phase trajectory.

As did his father before him,

Andros will travel to Earth and join with Wonder Woman

in a battle for the Earth's survival.

We are sorry to summon you so early, Andros.

I don't mind being summoned early. What I mind is failure.

- Then the Skrill have escaped? - Yes, Sell.

Fortunately, the interceptor guard ships that were pursuing them were unmanned.

No living creature was harmed when I destroyed it.

But the Skrill didn't know that.

Of course not. They are vermin.

They were making a path for...

What's the name of the planet, Andros?

Terra. Sometimes called Earth.

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman

Get us out from under

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman

How can you remember the native name of every primitive planet?

Earth.

Earth has been part of my caseload for a long time, Sell.

I feel responsible.

We appreciate that, Andros. And the Skrill,

they carry a definite danger of contamination to the Earth creatures.

They call themselves "humans."

They would. The arrogance of innocence.

Well, Andros, do you think that you can clear up this mess?

Bring the Skrill back?

I am prepared to leave for Earth immediately.

Perhaps you should take some assistance.

That won't be necessary.

There is an Earth creature with whom my father and I have worked before.

I plan on sending word to her.

Without consulting us?

If you knew Wonder Woman,

you'd know why I've chosen her.

There's no question in your mind that whatever or whoever they are,

they're coming from somewhere outside of our solar system?

None whatsoever, Steve.

We picked them up on satellite tracking relay

coming in, onward. Past the orbit of Saturn.

- Any evidence of a landing, Ruth? - No, Diana.

The spaceship seems to be homing in on the satellite communication beam.

You and George better check out that automated satellite control station

as soon as possible.

As soon as possible is now, Steve.

Good. Diana,

you and I are gonna handle the first briefing

of the National Security Council.

As soon as that's over I'll meet George and Ruth.

- Security clampdown? - Let's button it up.

Okay!

The Council has decided that your trip is unnecessary, Andros.

What are you talking about?

I told you earlier I was planning to contact Wonder Woman.

My spaceship is ready.

It has been decided to send a decontamination squad.

And do what to Earth? To the humans?

There'd be panic. Widespread psychosis.

The Skrill can be cleaned out

Without turning Earth into a battlefield.

A madhouse.

You agreed to this decision?

There was discussion.

Well, there should be more.

I've just had confirmation the Skrill are located

near the capital city of the United States.

- You can pinpoint them? - Yes.

Give me a chance to recapture the Skrill without ravaging an entire planet.

I would be willing to give Andros such a chance

if it were limited.

- By setting a time limit? - Exactly.

- But that's unfair. - Six days...

Six days on Earth to recapture the Skrill. No more.

Accepted.

Six days.

How much farther to your station, Ruth?

A couple of minutes, we'll be there.

You certainly are isolated out here.

We didn't want tourists stumbling accidentally over the installation.

There's nobody within five miles of us.

That sound again.

Is it birds?

They're not human. They're extraterrestrial.

Welcome to our planet.

They're responding.

Alive.

How are they?

I don't know, Steve. Dr. Rand's doing an examination now.

I've ordered roadblocks. The entire area is sealed off.

Okay. I'll get back to you as soon as I know more.

All right.

They...

They seem so drained.

That's exactly the word for it, Miss Prince.

There's no physical trauma, no sign of disease.

Yet, there's almost no mental activity

beyond the minimum necessary to sustain life.

In effect, they're mindless.

Physically healthy. Mentally empty.

I understand this is some sort of national security matter.

But is there anything you can tell me

that might be of some help in my treatment?

We don't know much yet.

Okay, Doctor.

Something from outer space has landed on Earth.

Now, George and Ruth went to investigate the manifestation,

and apparently, to put it in your own words,

they've lost control of their own minds.

And you don't know to whom, or to what?

No, Doctor, I'm sorry, I don't.

But as I was walking through the woods, I had the feeling of something alien.

I heard some odd musical sounds. Patterns.

Are you saying that I'm treating the possible victims

of someone or something from another world?

That's exactly right, Doctor.

We've got the entire area cordoned off.

And all the roads are blocked.

No one enters or leaves except through one of our checkpoints.

Good. What about those already in the area?

Well, that's hard to say.

We do know that a busload of kids from Barclay College

went in this morning on a field trip.

That should be winding up fairly soon.

Uh, you don't mind me asking, what are we looking for?

- Well, we're not exactly sure. - Yeah, thanks.

Captain,

we may have an illegal alien problem,

and we just don't want innocent people getting hurt.

We have an illegal alien problem all over the country, Miss Prince,

but we don't usually seal off an area this big to find them.

These aliens are from outer space, Captain.

These are the people running our country.

Hey, you guys. I'm tired. Come on.

Let's wrap it up and get out of here.

Come on. Hurry on in.

Hey! Hey, look! Diopsyros.

Diospyros.

- Oh, yeah. - Crazy.

Hey, up there. Come on down.

How you doing?

Hey, look. Come here, I found something. Look.

Looks like the Virginia Sapsucker. If I do believe.

Come on. Stop it.

I guess, we should be getting back, right?

No, come on. It's really nice here. Look at this. Look.

Terrific.

Beautiful.

Hey!

What the heck?

Debbie! Johnny!

Debbie! Johnny!

This creature...

This young man is relatively weak.

But a young mind can absorb information more quickly.

We shall be far more efficient recording instruments

using these young minds.

- Yes, we shall. Let us go. - Yes.

Debbie!

Johnny!

And now, it's beginning to thunder.

Debbie! Johnny!

It's funny.

Seems like a storm and a half, just beyond those trees.

We don't seem to be affected by it.

Strange weather.

Debbie! Johnny!

Blew over, I guess.

Uh, yeah.

I don't know where they went. I'm a bus driver, not a babysitter.

They're over 18.

If they show, tell them I had to split.

Well, we're searching the entire area,

I'm sure that we'll find them, Miss Vane.

I'll send out a CB call, I'll get some volunteers.

I have to take the rest of them back before anyone else gets lost.

- Okay, don't worry. - Good luck.

Breaker. Breaker, all CBers.

This is Captain Parelli, State Police. Vicinity, Charles Road Command Post.
