"General van Dyke calling ... emergency call from starship Hydra." "May I get the space ship!" "What's the name?" "Orion 7" "I hope it's not broken." "Baloney." "That's nothing." "Thank you." "Commander MCLane?" "YES" "Galactic security," "you have to come with us!" "Whereto?" "Headquarters, your radiotelephone please!" "I am not allowed to give it away!" "Don't cause any trouble." "That's an order!" "to avoid communication with your crew." "Why?" "What is that!" "Impulse waves from the galaxy!" "Can't determine where they are from." "Impulse waves impossible!" "On screen."

"Emergency call from the Hydra" "What happened with General van Dyke?" "just a second!" "Results?" "YES" "We checked everything the Major is right!" "What did you expect?" "Nothing!" "Please what happened?" "So far we know it is a directed super-nova!" "A nova is possible but directed!" "These are the facts." "Senior management is debating permanently!" "A nova is possible but directed!" "Who did it?" "Let's see the message from the General!" "Emergency call dealing with a directed super-nova thrown out of orbit probably by the frogs to destroy us!"

"Why didn't you report the nova on your last assignment?" "He couldn't!" "Why?" "It happened after McLane's patrol." "The speed is 146000 km per second!" "Do the math." "It happened afterwards!" "The data shows it started 36 hours after I returned." "Exactly" "The Orion's records confirm everything." "Good" "I'll accept." "I want to add..." "Don't argue." "We have important things to worry about." "What are we going to do now?" "How do we fight against a planet?" "Just sitting and arguing doesn't help!" "The government is desperately waiting for suggestions!" "Just Shooting with energy doesn't help!" "The nova is directed by the frogs." "So how do we attack the Frogs?" "How many ships are ready?" "5609 10 are not read yet." "together 5619" "Till when?" "Half tonight." "The second half within 4 days." "Why not faster?" "2000 are on its way." "900 are stationed." "The ships from Jupiter have order to return." "We need all the ships." "We need to have ships deployed in the outskirts" "Regardless to the government's decision." "The government is waiting for our suggestions." "I'll recommend evacuating the population!" "How shall I evacuate earth without ships?" "We don't attack the frogs?" "Are we evacuating instead!" "Evacuating doesn't make any sense." "We could only save 0.25 per mill maximum." "Government has already decided not to evacuate." "So ..." "Politicians rule even when there is nothing left." "Then the military is capitulating." "No we are not." "This is not a regular war!" "We asked the generals for help!" "But you don't offer any!" "The highest councils withdrawing doesn't make any sense!" "Nor the moving of the highest command." "Why?" "I can't guarantee to keep the" "Escape secret!" "Are you expecting a panic?" "Sure I do!" "What do you recommend?" "To keep everything disclosed and top secret." "How much time do we have left?" "About 7 days!" "Till the impact!" "Impact ... ." "But not the catastrophe." "What's the difference!" "The nova is falling towards terra with increasing speed!" "Terra will dry out and burn down before the impact!" "We have only 5 days." "Can we stop it?" "Or alter the course." "If we would know the location of the control station?" "We destroy the control station and the nova will pass earth." "That's a possibility!" "Let's find the control station!" "No" "I can't send every ship after the frogs." "It is like looking for the needle in the haystack." "that's dilettantism." "This is not a regular war!" "Theoretically we could try a stellar explosion." "How?" "With transmitting energy!" "or antimatter." "But that's only a theory not a real change." "Let's stick with destroying the control station!" "Please agree." "I'll recommend 200 ships for the search." "We might have better changes than we think." "All right." "Give the orders." "Thank you." "Finally we are coming to a decision!" "McLane." "General?" "Start immediately." "A question." "Do we have any contact with the Hydra!" "No it broke up yesterday." "We tried everything!" "Did you write off the Hydra?" "YES."

"Oxygen supply should last for only 72 hours." "Use the space suits instead." "General!" "An Earth station?" "No strange noises." "Please listen." "No not from earth." "Strange signals" "Are these signals from the Hydra?" "Definitely not." "Atan is entering the data into the computer." "Frogs?" "Possible!" "Their intensifiers are incredible." "Why not, they can throw planets out of orbit." "What do we have to expect." "Are they attacking us?" "Don't know." "Ready." "One second." "I'll get them first." "Terrific idea!" "what are you going to do?" "We'll figure it out." "You have no idea!" "Hurry I got their frequency." "Capture it." "A data stream to control the nova." "Cliff the frogs are scanning us!" "Do we have their coordinates?" "Impossible without a second tracking station." "Where shall I get one?" "How shall we destroy them without knowing their location?" "Probably they are on an asteroid in the Vesta group." "In-coming transmission." "The General!" "Sub-radio on!" "On Commander." "Hydra" "Orion 7 is calling." "Hydra with General van Dyke." "McLane?" "General!" "Switch the channel they might track us." "What is your mission?" "to find the control station and destroy it!" "The nova will change its course and pass away!" "What do you think?" "It seems too easy!" "I'll pick you up." "No." "For sure!" "I prohibit you to come." "General!" "This is the only change for the earth." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "You have to destroy the control station." "Every second is important." "They are reading us." "I know" "I need their co-ordinates" "We got scanned too." "Here are the co-ordinates." "Capture it." "On." "Reading." "RS 501 4M up seven" "196 8 Gamma. 2 epsilon." "Understood." "Hello" "Orion?" "Do you read?" "What's up?" "We can't hear you." "I'll order you to...." "I'll pick you up!" "Course towards Hydra" "Accelerate!" "If you change the course" "I'll melt down the cockpit." "Are you stopping me from saving the Hydra!" "I won't hesitate!" "Did you lose your mind?" "No!" "Don't you know what happens?" "It's Suicide!" "Don't go there!" "I don't care" "If I die because of malfunctions or because earth got destroyed" "The results are always the same." "Careful I am not afraid." "Everybody knows that you are a queer fellow." "But I didn't know that you are brainless without any responsibilities." "Are you talking armed with a gun?" "Your assignment is to save earth." "As long as you do it I don't mind how you treat me." "But do it." "General van Dyke is..." "General van Dyke is..." "Don't talk around the problem." "You received the co-ordinates of the enemy" "Earth is in great danger and we are running out of time." "We are a perfect target don't risk to get destroyed by the frogs." "Put the gun down." "All right Commander." "Battle station ready." "Thrower 2 and 4 ready?" "Converter ready?" "Ready Commander." "Are you satisfied?" "Yes Commander." "Battle station to Commander." "Thrower 2 and 4 are ready." "Understood." "Scanned by enemy." "Commander to battle station." "Thrower Ready!" "Thrower 2 and 4 are locked on target." "Thrower..." "Release!" "The nova doesn't respond." "How do you know?" "If the nova is off course?" "The speed is unchanged." "Any changes?" "Nothing." "How long are" "Quiet." "How long are you steering to realize we have failed." "Atan compute the course." "What happens next Commander?" "Let's blast it away." "An explosion?" "Impossible." "I won't let it go!" "Suggestions?" "None!" "Then be quiet!" "There is no other change!" "What are we doing now?" "Here is the nova heading towards earth." "Let's call this line A," "B and close to the planet C." "At A speed up to Hyperspace." "at B add reserve-energy." "C reserve-energy and surplus." "Passing the C-line we launch 15 antimatter-bombs and leave." "10 seconds before the impact we'll detonate it." "That should do it or I am at my wits' end." "What course do we take afterwards?" "Towards the planet to get distance." "Do we face a critical situation?" "Sure but what are my options?" "The course is unchanged." "Are you sure?" "The planet is still looping towards earth." "When going from Hyperspace to reserve energy in seconds" "What happens with the computer?" "The converters are melting." "Are they yours?" "No yours!" "All right what will happen?" "That's a hell of energy." "What happens to the computer?" "Will melt down." "so we lose navigation." "Luminance and heat are increasing rapidly." "Turn on the absorber." "Why did I listen?" "There is no change." "What do you recommend?" "We have to make a decision or we are lost!" "We have to evacuate with all the ships." "200 cruisers chasing a nova don't do any good." "Government is debating the pro and cons" "The government didn't give up on evacuating?" "Not finally because of the pro and cons!" "Accurateness needs time but we don't have time." "Any news?" "Nothing!" "Not even the position!" "What does that mean?" "McLane is too busy to entertain us." "All communications are cut off within that chaos." "Where is the nova now?" "Here!" "How much time?" "6 days till the impact and 4 till the catastrophe." "The government has to decide now." "We are running out of time." "The entire fleet is coming back." "None of the ships got close enough to the nova." "How about the control station?" "McLane will make it." "Your faith in McLane is almost childish." "Well" "Let me tell you something that is less childish." "How could it happen?" "that these beasts have built a control station to generate a nova?" "Right in the middle of our territory!" "That needs a lot of planning!" "Are you asking me?" "I am asking everybody!" "Since MZ 4" "We know that they exist and they are after us!" "But that's about it." "We don't know who and where they are?" "They are appearing and disappearing to surprise us!" "I recommended forming a research group already 2 years ago." "But what happened?" "It is a debating club that thinks we are the greatest!" "If you ask me" "I always pursued a..." "It doesn't help us to blame each other." "We don't have time for this!" "We have time all we can do is sit and wait!" "Wait till the government decides or a miracle happens" "If there is a miracle than it is called McLane." "Attention Orion" "Attention engineering!" "Approaching B-line." "B-line at minus 81." "Lock on target." "Target locked." "Countdown on!" "ON!" "B-line at plus minus 0." "Reserve energy on!" "Ship on reserve energy!" "Attention Engine!" "Ready for battle station!" "Ready for surplus." "Bombs ready!" "Approaching the C-Line." "C minus 30." "Countdown on." "On." "7 6" "Attention." "4 3" "2 1" "0." "Au!" "Bombs on target..." "Ah!" "Detonate" "Detonate Mario" "Damn..." "Surplus off," "Reserve off." "Come on or the ship will burst!" "It did not work!" "Why?" "The antimatter passed the nova before the detonation." "Damn." "Was it my fault Cliff?" "No Mario." "Help him!" "YES" "What will happen with earth now?" "I don't know." "It is exasperating to wait till the catastrophe happens without doing anything." "We could do something." "And what?" "We have to force the government to come to a decision!" "It is up to us to save mankind." "So How?" "Using force." "You don't know what you saying!" "If the government fails then we have to take actions." "As head of security I am telling you that anything further will be considered as high treason." "You are going to die like all of us." "I am not interested saving myself." "I'll stay when we evacuate but we have to make sure ... ." "Are you out of your mind?" "The computers are calculating for several hours about the changes of evacuating." "Who is entitled to survive?" "Who selects them?" "Who has more right to live?" "What happens afterwards?" "with the millions of people that have to stay?" "There will be a huge panic worse than the catastrophe." "Think about that!" "Don't generate more problems because you can't control yourself." "All right I was running amok therefore I apologize." "Understandable." "I hope I won't be the next one." "General tell me honestly" "Do you think the Orion still exists?" "Does it matter to know what I think?" "It has begun." "People are requesting information" "A government member had a break down." "They know that we have deployed 200 star-ships." "Who the hell was talking?" "Come on we are all human!" "Don't blame them for the burden." "There is only one more change." "Overload the Orion with pulsating energy and plunge the ship within the center of the nova and let everything explode!" "That's the only change." "For earth" "I don't want to die." "How about you guys?" "Commander" "We are not coming back?" "I don't know." "We have to switch into the shuttles to break through to the Hydra." "What are we going to do there?" "Everybody is dead there us included." "I can't think of anything else." "Let's go for it." "I'll rather fly with the Hydra as planet through the galaxy than committing suicide with the Orion." "At least there is a change to repair the drive of the Hydra." "Are they still alive?" "Let's figure it out." "Take all of the oxygen supplies." "Atan enter the data to get precise co-ordinates for the shuttle launch." "Ready to launch." "Co-ordinates Hydra." "Float A  C deck." "Floating." "Hurry guys or we are too late." "Cabin 11, 12, 13, hydro system is floated." "Load B-deck and air lock with energy." "Energized." "3 minutes left." "Shuttle 1 ready to launch countdown x minus 17." "Automatic on." "Confirm" "Is there a change?" "Controls ready!" "Leave the cockpit." "Ready for chamber 2 X minus 120." "Understood." "Come on." "Detonate." "The government will tell us within 1 hour." "Senior management is moving to the Mars stations." "Without me I am not capable of doing that." "Who voted to evacuate all the time?" "It was never for my own sake." "Gentlemen please no more blaming!" "Any Messages?" "Not the one we are waiting for." "Incoming transmission from Jupiter station 4." "A tremendous explosion has happened." "Where?" "Crossing the course of the nova." "How about the nova?" "Disappeared." "Are you telling that...?" "Gentleman do you understand?" "We are saved?" "Earth is saved!" "Can I talk to Jupiter 4...?" "Congratulations McLane made it!" "It's right." "The nova is gone." "I don't know how" "Only McLane could do it, right!" "It was McLane." "What happened to him?" "Nobody knows." "but you think" "Not knowing the facts." "We can't make any assumptions." "Don't talk nonsense." "McLane is dead." "Whoever did that doesn't come back!" "We are almost there." "If the ship still exists." "That's what we have to figure out." "Calling General van Dyke, Hydra?" "Hydra?" "Hydra come in please!" "Is the signal strong enough?" "Baloney we can reach the next 10 sectors." "Hydra come on in." "Come on in." "Cliff?" "They are all dead!" "How do you know?" "If you look at the facts it becomes clear." "They have been in the center of a storm now there is no sign of life." "Do I have to explain it?" "No" "Tell me please I don't get it." "The cosmic ray was extremely strong their shielding couldn't resist." "The temperature on board was too high to resist longer than ... ." "No epic descriptions." "If you think that they are dead than just shut up." "But she is asking." "She will keep asking even if we enter heaven." "Do you expect to come in heaven?" "What did I tell you?" "She is asking." "Are the others following us?" "I have an eye on them." "Calling Hydra!" "Hydra" "Hydra come on in!" "Keep everything top secret!" "I hope that the public won't hear about the incident and we were incapable of coping with it." "At least we made it!" "We?" "I know how you feel." "I am terrible sorry." "It had to happen." "Never mind." "Too bad" "McLane was a good man." "Above all he was very popular, an hero and idol of the youth." "Without being rude we have to come up with an explanation for his disappearing." "Sometimes I hate my job." "All right Villa, nobody is perfect as we have seen recently." "Yes it's easier for the heroes." "Shuttle 1 calling shuttle 2." "Mario can you read us?" "We should see the Hydra now." "There she is." "Like a dead flounder." "Careful." "I am going close so that Hasso can jump over." "Stay on hold." "Why jumping?" "Can you just use autopilot?" "Sometimes your questions are dumber than the ones from Lieutenant Jagelovsk." "Who is activating the controls if we can't get a radio response?" "Sure you're right." "Sorry." "Over." "Thank you." "Ready my friend." "Mhm." "I can't spare you." "I knew why!" "Listen" "Even if it is hot like in hells kitchen." "You have to push till the autopilot is up and running." "What if it doesn't work anymore?" "Bad luck." "Come back in the shuttle to survive a little longer." "Commander" "What are we doing if we can't get aboard the Hydra?" "It depends on your taste!" "Twirling your thumbs playing ludo or drink Mario's last Whiskey." "You can crochet if you have brought your little basket." "Sooner or later there will be no oxygen or energy left." "Can we just fly to the next space station?" "Impossible like trying to explain you our situation." "I am sorry to disturb now." "Shuttle 2 Mario come in please." "Yes Cliff?" "Hasso is sweating." "Get ready we have only seconds." "the temperature must be like in an oven." "After the landing we follow immediately right and then set up the shields to create a viable environment." "Right." "It is important to be as fast as possible" "Otherwise Hasso will start pouring sweat." "Right." "What is going on with you?" "out of a sudden you are able to think?" "Ready?" "Please don't forget liability is not included in our contract." "He should be in the battle station now." "No communications?" "He has no time to talk!" "He didn't make it." "It should have happened already." "He can't run around like a squirrel." "It is hot like in an oven." "Come on in sloths or do I have to send an invitation!" "He made it!" "Turn on Absorber!" "Mario?" "Yes?" "Are you in chamber 2 ?" "What did you expect?" "Pressure control." "Done." "Cold pressure." "No that doesn't make any sense... ." "You are right!" "Hasso" "Hasso open the locks!" "Hasso" "Hasso where are you?" "missing" "Shall I... ?" "no, my turn." "Press this button in one minute." "Mario?" "Yes?" "Cold pressure and absorber." "I'll try to get into the battle station." "Without suit and helmet?" "Crazy." "So tell me where is my Space suit?" "Hasso has mine." "His was left on the ship." "Hasso!" "What's up!" "Hasso" "The locks." "Ready cold pressure okay" "Cliff?" "What's up." "What happened?" "Hasso are you alive?" "No I am Hamlet's ghost." "Yes it seems like because you were never educated." "Stay." "Cliff." "We seem to be okay now." "The air is fine suddenly." "Are you guys okay?" "Sure otherwise you wouldn't ask." "What happened with Lydia and the crew?" "Hibernating!" "And?" "We got them out." "Almost too late." "Running out of energy." "We came at the very last moment." "Good it seems to be our specialty." "I wasn't sure if you would follow the order." "Lieutenant Jagelovsk was very supportive regards this issue." "Otherwise we would have come earlier." "Don't be sarcastic." "That was the worst experience we ever had." "My serious approach saved the earth." "Thank you." "That was the 7th space ship that you crashed." "It's time for the 8th Orion." "At least no one will blame you this time." "Incoming transmission." "I am not there." "I am sure the armament department is requesting detailed reports." "Everything okay?" "We used the microcomputers from the shuttles." "Some navigation is possible now." "So we are flying back full steam." "Optimist." "Just minimum speed" "Let's give it a shoot." "Everybody on station." "Atan" "Yes." "Navigation ready?" "I hope it will work." "Let's try it." "Course earth." "I have to go to the Uncle." "Cheers Commander!" "Some Whisky?" "NO." "This one is very rare." "Produced in the traditional way out of real malt." "Nothing artificial." "Kept in barrels for centuries due to an old Irish recipe." "How about a sip?" "Just a little bid." "It happens only once a live time to get such a gift." "It was my wish." "Really Major?" "What for?" "I crashed the fastest cruiser in the entire fleet." "So?" "Continuing?" "Sure what's next?" "I filled in most of the questions but I didn't know the reason for the accident." "Oh ve, how to explain." "Please help me General?" "Just write ... hm." "Was it another escapade?" "Yes that's exactly what happened." "Just write that a magnetic storm destroyed the ship." "He went to close as usual." "A detailed report has to be filled afterwards anyway." "For now this one should be okay." "Sign please." "There should be a better way than doing this, all this red tape." "We have our problems too." "We know that you guys have bigger problems than anybody else." "We only had to destroy a Super nova." "A Super nova." "Excuse me what's that?" "Laughing!" "subtitles  translation Ralf Zimmermann"
