00:00And Scott McCloud, Space Angel.
00:15Blast off for another exciting adventure in outer space with Scott McCloud, Space Angel, in the story of Incident of the Loud Planet.
00:30Our story opens at Earth Control on a routine day.
00:33The dispatchers are about to okay a Venus Junction space freighter launch.
00:42Venus Junction, Venus Junction, this is Earth Control, over.
00:45Earth Control, this is Venus Junction, go ahead.
00:49Here's your party, Chief.
00:50Space freighter 005, this is Earth Control, request granted.
00:55Launch your cargo capsule on orbit 2.76.
00:59Earth Control, this is space freighter 005, roger.
01:03Releasing cargo on orbit 2.76, over.
01:11Hey, what's this?
01:15Oh, no, it couldn't be.
01:23Master Control, Master Control, this is Station 7, alert.
01:27This is Master Control, what's wrong, Bill?
01:29I'm recording red alert in sector 045, over.
01:33Station 7, red alert, sector 045, roger.
01:37Hang on, Bill.
01:39This is Master Control.
01:41Put me through to the Chief.
01:43This is an emergency.
01:45Come in, Earth Control, what's up?
01:47Disturbance in sector 045, Chief.
01:49Source unidentified.
01:51It's jamming communications.
01:53Check all stations and verify.
01:55Check.
01:57All stations, stand by for fix on unidentified signal and report.
02:02Roger, Master Control.
02:25Oh, Johnny, you haven't touched a bite of your lunch yet.
02:34How long do you think you could keep this up without making yourself sick?
02:39You've got to eat.
02:41I'll eat, Mom. I'm just not hungry yet.
02:44Oh, dear.
02:46I'm okay, Mom. Just leave me alone, please.
02:49No, Johnny, I won't.
02:51It's high time we put a stop to this.
02:53I've put up with this beep, beep, beep of your equipment every day for three years now
02:57while you've searched the skies for your father.
02:59Johnny, it's no use.
03:01He's gone. He's not coming back.
03:04He is, too.
03:06I'm going to find him if it takes all my life.
03:08Don't stop me, Mom.
03:10Someday I'm going to find that wild planet.
03:12It has to come back. It has to.
03:15Oh, Johnny, dear, it's just no use.
03:18Oh, how I've prayed that...
03:20Mom!
03:22Mom, that's it. I found it.
03:24Look, it's the wild planet.
03:26We found Dad.
03:28Oh, Johnny, Johnny, do something.
03:31Yahoo, you know it.
03:33I'll beat the game.
03:35Hit the bearing computer recorder.
03:38And now what?
03:40That's it.
03:41In a minute we'll know the position and speed of the planet Sonics.
03:44And Earth Space Control can send searchers after it.
03:47I did it, Mom. I did it.
03:50I produced an element that can't be found any place on Earth.
03:54But, Chief, we put the data through the analyzer
03:56and it's unable to locate the source.
03:59Put me through to the Starduster.
04:01It's operating in that area.
04:03Maybe we can get some missing data from the Space Angel.
04:05Okay, Chief. Stand by.
04:09Urgent signal from Master Control, Scott.
04:11It must be the Chief.
04:13Right, Crystal.
04:15Master Control, this is the Starduster.
04:17Go ahead, Chief.
04:19Scott, there's a strange signal coming from the direction of your patrol area.
04:22Have you seen anything?
04:24Sure have, Chief.
04:26And our wave detector registers Sonics.
04:28It's getting stronger and stronger.
04:30It's getting stronger and stronger.
04:32It's getting stronger and stronger.
04:34It's getting stronger and stronger.
04:36It's getting stronger and stronger.
04:38Sonics? Are you sure?
04:40Afraid so, Chief. We haven't had a blast yet.
04:45Here it comes!
04:54Scott! Scott! Are you all right?
04:57So far, Chief, but...
04:58Hey, Skipper! Our automated guidance system is knocked out!
05:02We're coming apart at the sea!
05:04Chief, she's out of control!
05:16Wow!
05:18We've stabilized, but what's happening, Scott?
05:21When we blasted into that sonight belt, it threw us out of control.
05:24And when I chopped off the power, the sonight waves took over and are pulling us along in their wake.
05:31Now we're churning along with it like a chip of wood on a gigantic wave.
05:35Yes, Skipper?
05:36But how do we get out of this?
05:38Just hang onto your hats.
05:40It's going to be quite a jolt.
05:42Try to strap yourselves in now.
05:44This is it.
05:45Right, Skipper.
05:46All okay here, me lad.
05:48Let her rip.
05:49Try to pour on all the cold she can take and blast free.
05:52We hope.
06:01Ooh!
06:03Ooh!
06:04Ooh!
06:05Whee!
06:06Ooh!
06:21Ooh!
06:23That felt like an elephant was standing on my middle.
06:26That's enough of that for one day.
06:28Horace, you're just getting old.
06:30Earth Control.
06:32Earth Control, this is Starduster.
06:34Over.
06:35Starduster, this is Earth Control.
06:37Go ahead.
06:38Earth Control, this is Starduster.
06:40Clear pad for landing.
06:41Priority one.
06:42Roger, Starduster.
06:44I'll notify the chief.
06:45Take pad three.
06:58Go ahead.
07:24Chief, this is Master Control.
07:26right in yes sir and call dr. Mase for an immediate conference dr. Mase yes sir
07:32right away sir my viewer was knocked out and never did get a glimpse of the
07:36asteroid so night wave at that point was two space units across Professor Mase
07:41from that angle I would say the sonight waves must have been transmitted from
07:46earth the sonight asteroid only magnified them and bounced them back
07:51then sonight transmission could knock out any spacecraft that got into the
07:55path of its transmission not the path of transmission Scott it's the bounce
08:00back wave from the greater source of sonight that is dangerous that's why
08:04we've got to find out who when where what is broadcasting this thing we're
08:09running the recorded data through now we'll know exactly where it's coming
08:13from in a minute come in pardon me chief there's a young boy out here who says
08:19he's been broadcasting sonight I thought you'd like to talk to him would I I'll
08:24say I would send him in here your computer pinpoints the sonight
08:28transmission the 1200 block on Pine Street right here in the city and where
08:35do you live young man 1240 Pine Street sir young man don't you know the
08:41transmitting sonight is against the law yes sir but do you know you almost killed
08:46the Space Angel no chief don't be so tough on him it was the only way to
08:51locate the wild planet Sonex through harmonic response and my dad was lost on
08:56it over three years ago and I found it I have a computer tape wait a minute slow
09:02down boy makes sense the planet Sonex was in
09:07this area three years ago and professor Kendall who went out to survey it has
09:12never returned Scott this looks like a job for the Space Angel
09:16Oh boy the Space Angel Roger chief I'll uh I'll notify the Space Angel to have
09:23the Starduster ready for blast-off first thing in the morning
09:26got it the Starduster all ready to blast off on schedule ready willing and able
09:30sir Crystal's helping Professor Mace check out our new tracking gear and
09:34Taurus is directing the loading of supplies where's the Space Angel can I
09:39meet the Space Angel no Johnny he's already on board I'll see if I can't get
09:49you two together when we get back you're going along too huh mr. Scott hey you
09:55bet Johnny I'll be taking along then will you tell him I know he can find my
09:59dad I'm counting on the Space Angel I'm sure the Space Angel will do his very
10:04best Johnny Thank You mr. Scott sir okay if I go down and look over the
10:08Starduster sure Johnny go ahead
10:16that kid sharp Scott could be he'll catch on that you're the Space Angel I
10:21know chief I'd better get aboard before he returns and fires more questions at
10:26me okay Scott good luck and stay in close
10:29contact my friend right chief all set kids ready when you are
10:34okay here skipper okay Scott space control space control this is Starduster
10:41ready for countdown over Roger Starduster ready for countdown clear
10:47launching station three of all equipment and personnel emergency vehicles stand by
10:53it seven atomic engine activator atomic engine activator go six five trajectory
11:02angle or three three point zero five go
11:32we are free of Earth's gravity I'll switch over to our own gyro gravity
11:41equalizer Roger Taurus trajectory looks very good Scott Roger crystal we're in
11:51free flight how's the new sonight tracking equipment working Chris all
11:55okay I'm just checking the present position of the sonight asteroid hey
12:00Taurus yes skipper my radiation indicator isn't working better go left
12:06and check the shielding I skipper right away probably a resistor out what have
12:16we got here hey skipper I found a mouse in the machinery
12:21Johnny Kendall what are you doing here I speak to board while they were loading
12:27the sonight tracking equipment how on earth did you survive the blast-off I
12:32strapped myself to the computer rack that's why your indicator wasn't working
12:37skipper hey where's the space angel well you see lad he's Johnny I suppose we'll
12:48have to take you into our confidence and trust you'll never tell anyone I'm the
12:53space angel now as long as you're here we have no choice but to take you along
13:02Taurus see if you can bring up a space suit for our new crew member Johnny
13:06Kendall
13:20we're entering sector five will be long now
13:26Scott the alarm we're registering sonight there it is the sonight planet
13:41it certainly looks evil enough skipper it looks completely dead how could anyone
13:47survive on such a place if anybody could it would be your father Johnny he's a
13:52very capable man I laddie I read one of his books on how to survive in hostile
13:58environments gravity reading point zero one five moving up fast Scott right
14:03Chris we'll drop into orbit now and survey this planet Taurus get on the
14:08analyzer and check for atmosphere contact I skip crystal check the
14:12radiation and ground conditions right Scott I was on a land sir not until we
14:17take a look around Johnny we have to know what we're getting into
14:47unidentified spacecraft approaching your highness we have an alert
15:00unidentified spacecraft coming in on low approach well general shall we go
15:07see who our unexpected visitor is of course your highness who knows but we
15:14may fall here to another youthful pride safe enough let's drop down and drag the
15:21area
15:32any atmosphere readings Taurus atmosphere of negligible skipper Geiger
15:38reading in the green safe gravity point zero nine four G very good they're
15:44coming closer now your highness hmm don't be strange and have any markings
15:50general it it your highness it looks like this space angel ship this space
15:58angel I might have known your highness the tower they'll spot the sonar
16:04transmission tower we'll just prepare a surprise reception for the space angel
16:15why of course your highness
16:19sure hope my dad's down there hi lad hey look was that a tower out here in the
16:39middle of nowhere hey Taurus check a stern I skipper
16:43jump in Jupiter it's a tower all right and there's smoke coming up near it then
16:48it must be coming from an underground installation
16:53there he's alive he must be alive chances are pretty good Johnny stand by
16:58crew we're coming about for a landing
17:13landing legs extended steady power steady our steady ready for touchdown
17:40that space angel is such a fool is everything readiness for his surprise
17:52general everything your highness this space angel will get the surprise
18:01reception he deserves open outer panel how's the suit fit Johnny very
18:08comfortable sir mr. Taurus is a genius hey okay here then crystal the brave
18:14fool is opening the hatchway already
18:19it is the space angel all right in a small figure they're headed straight for
18:25our sonar tower checking communications crystal loud and clear Scott look Johnny
18:31there's a door in the main building just to the right of the tower I can see it
18:35sir let us accommodate our friends general open the sonar tower door yes
18:42your highness look sir the door Scott be careful looks like somebody is inviting
18:53us in Scott
18:57ah our friends are trying to decide whether or not they should enter our
19:03are you ready general most certainly your highness okay Johnny this is it
19:09stick close to me
19:16kind of strange generator room sir yeah you can bet somebody's around opening
19:23and closing doors for evil Queen Zora I thought she was dead I am so sorry to
19:31disappoint you space angel but now you see it is you who will be destroyed
19:39here for a candle is helping us process so nice so that we can control the
19:46universe not willingly I will admit but we have ways of persuading the good
19:59professor since he fell into our trap three years ago you see space angel we
20:06have prepared so night capsule so we can put them in orbit around all inhabited
20:11planets and you space angel and your little friend have brought us the
20:17means to deliver them your spaceship the Stardust er I see the people of the
20:27universe refused to pay you tribute you'll activate the sonar of course I
20:31will rule the universe I want to see my father of course general send the
20:40professor to join his son we have no further use for him in what fashion do
20:46you intend to eliminate your royal highness you are standing directly over
20:53I need only throw this switch and you will be shattered as the waves pass
20:59through you to the tower of my son you found me a touching reunion indeed
21:13you get that Taurus ain't for the ball at the top of the tower but don't fire
21:18until I give the word I skip you have been most helpful professor but you are
21:25a usefulness has ended no Taurus
21:31has been hit don't throw that switch you have activated the sonar but the load
21:37control is destroyed the activator is still going quick we must get out the
21:44whole planet will explode that's right we only have seconds grab a space suit
21:49professor
21:52stand by to blast off I skip her
21:57I wonder if I don't know Chris but our mission is accomplished if I knew who
22:23you were space angel I could thank you properly that's right dad but no one
22:28knows who the space angel is
