Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Page #2

Synopsis: In 1987, NASA astronaut William "Buck" Rogers is caught in a freak accident in deep space, causing his space shuttle Ranger 3 to be blown into an orbit that returns him to Earth - over 500 years later. The combination of gases that freezes him comes close to the formula commonly used in the 25th century for preservation, and his rescuers are able to revive him. In 2491, when Buck awakens from the freezing, Earth is recovering from a nuclear war and is coming under hostile attack by the Draconian Empire. In the second season, Buck has been assigned aboard the Searcher, a starship exploring the unknown reaches of space while searching for former Earth colonies that are scattered across the galaxy.
  Won 1 Primetime Emmy. Another 5 nominations.

when you return with this story.

Battery.

Prepare to launch

the alien ship.

Five seconds for the launch.

Four...

three two...

one. Launching.

It gave us the opportunity to test

the protective shield of the Earth.

How to prove it?

We know that anyone who enters...

without authorization they

incinerate it immediately.

But if our captain is a

spy, as I believe...

they will escort him through the shield...

along the channel that

only the military knows.

How can that help us?

I hid a microtransmitter

in Captain Rogers' ship...

who will send us a guided map.

When we give the signal...

your father's attack

forces will use the map...

to pierce his protective shield.

What if Captain Rogers is not a spy?

Then, it will burn.

I see.

It does not seem very pleased.

Of course I'm pleased.

But I have a strange feeling that

I will see Captain Rogers again.

Air control 1 to ship Able, Baker 4.

- Here location control.

- Approaching.

- What is your position and fuel?

- Confirmed.

Here Tartalia to air control Long.

We are approximately...

Houston control, here the 711 flight.

Answer, control of Houston.

Leave the cards and the backgammon.

Buck the lucky one came back.

Mr. Supervisor?

Supervisor ready. What position is it?

Delta sector, sir.

They do not know about me very often.

Yes, delta sector?

My scanners monitor the low

frequency direct band.

I'm getting some voices or something.

Sure you get pirate conversations.

There is no need to be alarmed.

Perhaps they are echoes of last

night's attack on the freighters.

Those signals will bounce all week.

Yes sir. I mean, no sir.

This is not an echo, sir.

It is a voice. It is a strong voice.

Is singing.

- Singing?

- Yes.

- Delta sector, did you say "singing"?

- Yes.

Operational control, I'm supervisor

14, give me the delta sector audio.

Answer, control of Houston.

Answer

Houston control, here the 711 flight.

Answer Do you receive me? Give me

instructions. I'm going to re-enter.

Answer, control of Houston.

Houston control, do you receive me?

Anden, papanatas, stop

slacking and give me "info".

It is practically a foreign language.

Is it a joke?

Goes directly to the protective shield.

Communicate me with interception.

With the interception squadron.

I'm Colonel Deering.

What are the coordinates?

Right. Back the shield 160 km.

Until checking the ship.

Alert, interceptors.

Alien ship position.

- Thats weird.

- What's weird?

The target moves very slowly

and irregularly to be a ship.

I have the target in sight.

What is it?

Hey, good.

I'm glad to see you...

boys.

Who are they?

What are they?

Attention, alien ship.

Do you listen me?

I am "alien"?
