Spectrum
Strikes Back
Colonel White, Captain Scarlet and Captain
Blue go to the headquarters of the Spectrum Intelligence Agency, where a
scientist shows them and the World President the new advances made, following
the events of 'Operation Time'. The SIA have developed a Mysteron gun that emits
a beam of electrons able to kill a Mysteron from fifty yards. Also, a Mysteron
detector has been developed, using X-rays.
The scientist asks Captain Indigo, who is currently being Mysteronised by
Captain Black, to bring the detector down. He does so, and the scientist
demonstrates negative results by using Colonel White and the World President as
subjects, and then a positive result using Captain Scarlet. The World President
asks if he can try it, and he takes a picture of Captain Indigo, who quickly
returns upstairs to keep an eye on things.
When the developed picture shows a positive result, Captain Scarlet grabs the
Mysteron gun and sets off after Indigo, but Indigo has triggered the mechanism
that lowers the hunting lodge to the level of the headquarters, and taken the
key with him. Scarlet finds Indigo and kills him with the Mysteron gun in time
to return the key to the hunting lodge and save everyone trapped below.
