Avalanche



THIS IS THE VOICE OF THE MYSTERONS; WE KNOW THAT YOU CAN HEAR US, EARTHMEN. OUR NEXT STRIKE IS IMMINENT. WE WILL SHOW YOU HOW WEAK YOU REALLY ARE. WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR HOURS WE WILL DESTROY KEY LINKS IN YOUR FROST LINE DEFENSE SYSTEM. WE WILL BE AVENGED.

A fallen tree causes repairman Eddie to skid off of an Arctic road and down a ravine, where the Mysterons replicate him and his maintenance truck.

General Ward, the head of the Frost Line Defense, wants to launch missiles at Mars when his bases are threatened, but Colonel White manages to talk him out of it.

Captain Scarlet and Lieutenant Green are sent to investigate when Red Deer Base loses contact with the Frost Line Headquarters. They find that all of the men stationed there are dead, but they cannot find any reason why. All of their tests for toxic gasses are negative, and the odd mist present throughout the base is only water vapour.

Whilst Scarlet and Green are investigating at Red Deer, a second base, Caribou, falls victim to the attacker. Ward threatens to launch missiles if another base is attacked.

Scarlet and Green finally discover that the air in Red Deer Base has had all the oxygen removed from it, causing the men to asphyxiate. They deduce that the maintenance truck that recently serviced the base is under Mysteron control, and that a device in the air conditioning system removed the oxygen from the air. They pursue the truck to the next base in line, Big Bear, where the security guard at the gate informs them that the truck has already been, and is headed for Headquarters. General Ward has ordered that Spectrum personnel are to be denied access to the base. Green knocks the guard out and removes the device in the air conditioning system before any damage is done, whilst Scarlet pursues the maintenance truck in an SPV.

With the truck cornered, Scarlet sets off an avalanche that buries the truck before it can reach HQ.
