" The homing beam's cut out!" " I'm trying to reactivate it!" " You said it was infallible!" " The solar power source has been damaged." " That means trouble!" " Yes, it's impossible to land safely." " You mean we'll crash?" " Or drift endlessly through space." "Hello, Earth Control, this is Moonbase." "Emergency!" "Can you hear me?" "At our present rate of drift, we'll be drawn into the heart of the sun in approximately five months and ten days." " No need to worry, then." " What do you mean?" "We've only got enough food and water for three days, remember?" "Just a minute." "I think I'm getting something!" "Earth Control, this is Moonbase!" "Emergency!" "Can you hear me?" "Hello, Moonbase!" "Can you hear me?" "Yes!" "Yes, I can hear you loud and clear!" "What part of Earth are you speaking from?" "We're in a rocket orbiting the moon." "A rocket?" "But that's impossible!" "I can assure you it's not impossible!" "What is your emergency?" "What's happening on Moonbase?" "We've been invaded!" "Aliens have taken over!" "Put that cover back on." " Right, let's test it now." " Do you think it will work?" "We've replaced the circuit." "It should be all right." "Turn on the power." "Hold it." "Try again." "T-Mat to Earth and report to Commander Radnor." "Stop!" "You will remain here!" "Don't move!" "Do exactly as they say!" "You will remain here!" "Has contact been re-established with Moonbase yet?" "No." "Once Miss Kelly was transmitted, the link switched off." " Miss Kelly will fix it." " I wish I had your optimism!" "How much longer, Zoe?" "Our orbit will bring us back into his range in 43 seconds." "Let's hope he can still transmit." "Well, his signal was quite strong." "It shouldn't fade." " I'm worried about his survival!" " These aliens he described..." "How much did you hear?" "Bipeds, reptilian, armed with some kind of sonic device." " Yes, Ice Warriors!" " What?" "Jamie and I have met them before." "They're from Mars." " What do they want?" " Mars is a dying planet." " They want a new home." " Why the moon?" " It's a stepping stone." " They're Ice Warriors?" "Yes, Mars is a cold planet and they've adapted to that." "It's heat they can't stand." "We should just about be coming into range now." "Hello, Moonbase." "Hello, Moonbase." "Can you read me?" "Yes, I read you loud and clear." "Oh, thank heavens for that!" "Listen." "We need your help to make a landing." "Don't land!" "You must warn Earth what's happened here!" " We've lost radio contact with Earth." " Go back and warn them." "We haven't enough fuel." "We need to get to the fuel dump on the moon." " They'll kill you!" " We'll just have to take that risk." "Now, where are you, Mr, um...?" "Phipps." "I'm in the solar energy store." "Now, what do you want me to do?" "If we adapt our homing equipment to his radio signal, we can beam in on that." "Did you hear that?" "We want you to keep your transmitter going." "I'll try, but I've no idea how long this transmitter can last!" "Now, I think that's done it." "Let's see if we can pick up his signal." "Yes!" "There we are!" "Zoe, what about the approach to the deck area?" "Oh, yes..." "I don't think I could have done better myself!" "We need to fire the retro-rockets in 17.5 seconds." "What?" "!" "Landing positions, everyone!" "Two seconds." "One... now!" "Let's hope there's enough fuel left to cushion down on." "Let's hope that beam thing doesn't conk out before we get there!" "I'm sure we'll be all right." "Hello, moon rocket." "Can you hear me?" "Hello, Moonbase." "Yes, we can." "We are coming in on your signal now." "Whatever you do, keep transmitting." " The signal!" "It's stopped!" " Can you get us back into orbit?" "No!" "I shall have to get us down." "If we hit the mountains, we'll be smashed to pieces!" "It's working!" " Doctor, can you lock back onto it?" " Well, I'll try." "Yes, there it is!" "Oh, my word!" "I think we're going to be all right!" "Oh, oh, oh!" "Yes, well, I'm..." "I'm sorry about the landing!" "Well, we're down!" "That's the main thing." " Now what do we do?" " First, we must refuel." " You can see to that, Zoe." " What are you going to do?" " I must go in search of Mr Phipps." " What about the Ice Warriors?" " Oh, I've met them before." " But you can't...!" "I've got to rescue Mr Phipps, haven't I?" "Now, where's that map?" "Now then, the solar power room is..." "There we are..." "That seems to be quite a simple route." " I'll come with you." " No!" "Stay here and look after Zoe." "I'll be quite all right." " Good luck!" " And to you!" "Well, how do we refuel?" "That's simple." "It will connect automatically from here." "Now, watch this dial, and when it reads "full", switch it off." "Now, do you think you can remember that?" "Of course I can!" "Good." "I want to look at the rocket motors." " Why?" " The landing may have caused some damage." "I know it was a bit rough, but surely it wasn't as bad as all that?" "Well, it's not the landing that matters now, it's the take-off." "Tokyo..." "London..." "Canberra." "That's the lot." "The whole system's completely operational again." "We can send to any city in the world?" " Yes, anywhere with a T-Mat centre." " Do you realise what you're doing?" "!" "I'm trying to save our lives!" "We're in no position to argue!" "Why do you want control of T-Mat?" "If you invade the Earth, you'll fight the armed forces of the entire world." "You'll never succeed." " There'll be too much resistance." " There will be no resistance!" "What will happen to us?" "You will remain alive as long as you are useful." "You'll never get any help from me." "When the time comes, you will do exactly what you are told... .. or die!" "Hello?" " Who are you?" " Oh!" " Mr Phipps, I presume?" " Yes, but where did you come from?" "From the rocket." "We talked on the radio." " Are the others here?" " They're in the rocket." " How many Ice Warriors are there?" " Those creatures?" "Not many," " but they're deadly." " They have their weak points." "Look, they've killed everybody here, except Fewsham, who's helping them." "I see." "Well, there's only one thing for it." " We shall have to destroy T-Mat." " What?" "!" " Are you all right, Doctor?" " Yes." "Have you refuelled the rocket?" "Yes, now Zoe's checking the rocket motors." "Good." "I have found Mr Phipps." " How is he?" " Quite all right." " And you're bringing him back?" " Eventually, but I have to put T-Mat out of action first." "But what about the Ice Warriors?" "Don't worry." "You and Zoe prepare the rocket for take-off and wait for us." " Goodbye." " But, Doctor!" "Doctor!" "Hey!" "The Doctor's found Phipps, and he wants us to prepare the rocket for take-off while they put T-Mat out of action." " But he can't!" " Why?" "The rocket motors are completely useless." " What?" "!" " The only way back to Earth IS by T-Mat!" "Doctor, Doctor!" "Can you hear me?" "This is Zoe." "Doctor!" " He must have switched off!" " Now what do we do?" "We'll go and find him." "Come on!" " Where is this leading to?" " Control headquarters." "This way." "An Ice Warrior's got Miss Kelly, but how...?" "Run!" "Oh!" "Stop!" "You must be destroyed!" "You've got no orders to kill me!" "Your leader will want to speak to me!" "Humans are our enemies!" "But I can be useful to you, like Fewsham!" "Your leader will be angry with you if you kill me!" "I'm a genius!" "Genius!" "You will come with me!" " Now which way?" " I don't know." "I'm lost." " I thought you knew the way!" " So did I!" " Let's try this way." " Women!" "Oh, no, we could wander round here all day!" "Listen!" "Quick, here!" "What was that thing?" "An Ice Warrior." "You see, they were right!" "Get back!" "Don't move!" "Now what do we do?" "Keep looking for the Doctor and keep your eyes open for the solar energy room!" "I wish you'd tell me what you want me to do!" "You will shortly dispatch a cargo to certain cities on Earth." "They will include Ottawa, Oslo," "Stockholm, Hamburg..." "Cargo?" "What sort of cargo?" "The prisoner Kelly has escaped." "This human was in the corridors." "Who are you?" "Where are you from?" "I might ask you the same question!" "You will find the human Kelly and bring her back here!" " Who is this man?" " He's not one of the crew." "He must have just arrived here." "Impossible - we control T-Mat." "How did you get here?" "Our resources are not limited to T-Mat, you know!" " You arrived by space craft?" " Rockets haven't been used for years." "Then you are lying!" "You have been concealed here all the time." "But you can't be sure of that, can you, hmm?" "The people of the Earth may be preparing a whole fleet of rockets to defend themselves with!" "No, Earth relies entirely on T-Mat." "There is no defence against our plans." "And what are your plans?" "Invasion by T-Mat?" "There are too few of you to conquer all of Earth." "The Grand Marshall has ordered the seeds to be prepared!" " You are to receive your instructions." " Then guard the humans." "If they try to escape, kill them!" "Why are you helping them?" "I've seen what they can do!" "Do you know what is in that container?" "All I know is they want me to send something to Earth by T-Mat." " I suppose that's what's in it." " I shall have to look inside, and you are going to help me!" " The Doctor's been captured?" " There was nothing we could do." " We had a job to reach here ourselves." " So did we!" "Will the Ice Warriors find this place?" "One did but I got him with a booby trap fixed to the solar energy power line." "They seem invulnerable!" " The Doctor said they can't stand heat." " That's right!" "The heating's controlled from the Centre." "We should turn up the heating." "How?" "Ice Warriors are patrolling those corridors." "The maintenance tunnel's over here!" "We'll turn the heating up, knock the Warriors out and rescue the Doctor." "And T-Mat ourselves back to Earth." " But T-Mat's broken down." " I repaired it." "Can we get this cover off?" " It's rusted." "It will take some time." " The Doctor may not have much time." "All right, Fewsham, now!" "I can't!" "They'll kill us both!" " You've got to help me!" " I can't!" "Very well, I shall do it by myself." "If I am caught, which is most likely, we will both get killed." "Do not move!" "I was ordered to prepare the controls for transmission." "Return to where you were!" "But this is most important!" "If you are trying to escape, I shall destroy you!" "I'm not trying to escape!" "Go back to where you were!" "All right!" "All right!" "Wait!" "Open it!" "I said, "Open it"!" "What are these things?" "They look like seed pods." "What is it?" "What's happened to him?" "Is he dead?" "That's it." " I think I heard something!" " Be careful!" "There's one coming!" "I don't think he saw me." "We won't take any chances." " That should hold it." " Get back!" "Don't move!" "The booby trap - does it still work?" " It will have to be reconnected." " Well, come on!" "Miss Kelly." "Hurry up!" "Right!" "Now!" "You will prepare to activate the cubicle and transmit to London." "Obey!" "Emergency transport systems now in operation." "However, situation extremely critical in most parts of the world." "Primitive areas surviving best." "All major cities now suffering severe food shortages." "Without T-Mat, millions will die, especially in the cities!" "Activate!" "Commander Radnor!" "T-Mat is working." "Working?" "Kelly must have got through!" "What is it?" "It's alive!"
