this is Pyramid.

Are you ready

for Test Baker? Over.

This is Green Dog. This is Green Dog.

We are circling quite

easily at 40,000 feet.

Standing by for Test Baker.

Over.

Okay, Green Dog,

commence Test Baker.

Commence Test Baker.

Over.

Try starting out

on the 500 mile range.

Set for the 500 mile range,

Sergeant.

Master scope

set at 500 mile range.

Generators set.

Position six Charlie.

Start scanning, normal speed.

Scanning, normal speed.

Increase scanning speed 20 rpm's.

Scanning now, 20 rpm's.

Increase range to 1,000 miles.

Range increased

to 1,000 miles, sir.

Steady on your sensitive

control, number three.

Right, sir.

Increase range to 1,500 miles.

Range increasing

to 1,500 miles, sir.

- Hold it steady now, Sergeant.

- Right, sir.

Okay, Sergeant,

increase to 2,000 miles.

Increasing range

to 2,000 miles, sir.

Range increased to 2,000.

Look, sir. Siberia.

Increase range to 2,500 miles.

Range increased to 2,500, sir.

If we can keep this

equipment working right,

we can watch those Russians 24 hours

a day right in their own backyard.

We can spot any plane, any missile,

anything that's airborne.

Image is fading, sir.

There it goes again.

Same trouble.

Green Dog, Green God,

this is Pyramid.

Check your equipment.

Our image is fading. Over.

This is Green Dog.

This is Green Dog.

Our equipment

is working okay. Over.

The signal's going out okay from here,

sir. There's no drop in power.

- There must be some interference.

There's no other answer.

- Try increasing the power.

We're pushing the atomic plant

as much as we can now.

We've got to lick this power fade.

Tell them to pour it on.

Peterson.

Pete, this is Cummings,

Master Control.

We want you to give us

everything you've got.

But Jeff, we've already

exceeded the designed limits.

Every time you take a test

you ask for more power.

If I take any more rods out, the

reactor's liable to go out of control.

Well, take some more out.

We'll have to risk it.

- We've got to have more power.

- Okay, it's your funeral.

Mine too, probably.

- Yes, sir?

- Remove ten more rods

from reactor number three.

- That's crazy, sir.

- Yeah, I know, but it's an order.

Power's been boosted, sir,

but still can't increase image further.

It doesn't matter how much

we boost the transmitter power

if it doesn't reach the plane.

You know, it's almost as if the power

were being drained off.

Well, we'll just have to

keep working on it.

And in the meantime, what new excuse

do I give the Pentagon?

This is Green Dog.

This is Green Dog.

Standing by

for instructions. Over.

Okay, Green Dog.

Okay, Green Dog.

Test Baker is completed.

Return to base.
