Planet of the Vampires (Terrore nello spazio) (Terrore nello spazio)

Are you able to see anything at all, Burt?

Nothing, captain. Only a surface of clouds.

This planet seems to be made of fog.

Not even infrared rays get through.

Well, keep trying.

I've got the laser on infrared,

it may penetrate.

There, the strange signals are continuing.

Now the localization is sharper.

15 degrees, felcar coaxial alfa vacuum..

Right.

This is our sixth orbit around this planet,

and that signal always comes from the same point.

If a man-made transmitter does exist,

that's the spot, all right.

2 more meteors.

Yes, sir. I'll check on the total.

Eldon, Tiona, Kell, we just rejected 2 more meteors.

What's our total now?

999, Wess.

1 more and I'll bake you a little birthday cake

with 1,000 candles.

Without this rejector,

we'd look like a piece of Swiss cheese.

Our ship would be down in less than a minute.

Let's prepare for a landing, Brad.

Okay.

Attention. Attention, all crew members, prepare for landing.

In 60 fractions of megon, we'll start the landing maneuver.

The intensity of the gravitational field

will be maintained

at the wave moment of force G 7.

Synchronize the meteor rejector

on the electro-magnetic control device.

Apply neuro-vascular tension.

Suppress cortical areas X, Y, Z.

Insert the automatic controls.

We will keep a distance of 2 parsecs

from our sister ship Galliot.

Respond when command received.

Command received.

Sanya, get me the captain of the other ship.

Spaceship Argos calling spaceship Galliot.

Spaceship Galliot, we're receiving.

Captain Salas is wanted on the ionoscope, please.

All right, Mark, he's standing by.

You were right, Mark. It's not cosmic radiation.

It's a reality,

a reality that we'll see at first hand.

Glad to hear you admit it, Salas. It's never too late.

We were never as crazy as you seemed to think.

You certainly had us worried, though.

Oh, you've put a spy on board? Huh, huh.

Anyway, you'll have to agree it was just luck.

You can't chase after all the sounds in the universe.

All right, so it's not a cosmic cloud.

But what about life?

Who can say yet that there's any life on aura?

Who can assure us that it's not a natural source of emission?

We'll find out soon enough. Right now, get ready to land.

Synchronize on gravitational wave moment of force G 7.

Shall I put us on the automatic control?

Yes. When you're 2 parsecs from us.

1 minute. Mark, wait.

Your younger brother is here

and he has something else to tell you.

Mark, I want to warn you.

This will be the first and only trip...

We've lost it.

Sanya, the reserve channel.

Zinex impulse, quickly.

Hello. Hello, Galliot. Hello, Galliot?

Hello! Contact's been broken, Mark.

The zinex impulse channel, throw it on.

The signal's been interrupted, Mark.

The planet stopped transmitting.

Galliot.

Sanya, what about the Galliot?

Galliot, hello!

I'm not getting anything, Mark.

The zinex impulse channel, try it again.

Hello, hello. Hello!

There's nothing, Mark.

The radio communications are blocked.

Try it again, Sanya.

Hello. Hello, Galliot!

The automatic alarm.

Emergency! Emergency!

The gravitational force is increasing rapidly.

Wess, where are we at? Give me a reading.

20, Mark. 20 G.

Seal bulkheads. Got to activate them now.

Brad, the automatic control, disengage it.

I'm switching to manual.

What happened? Why did she attack you? Is she crazy?

What happened? Don't you remember?

Wess!

Mark. Try to get hold of him.

Mark!

Are you out of your minds?

What's wrong with everyone?

Where are you going? Mark!

Tiona.

Tiona!

Stop! DR. Karan! Stop!

Carter. Carter!

Mark, what was I trying to do?

Mark...

In here, Mark!

Mark, now Karan's gone crazy.

I was just coming to when he attacked Brad.

I rushed him, but he escaped through there.

Burt, you stay here. Wess, come with me.

He's activated the security lock.

There's nothing we can do.

They open only when the sensors touch the ground.

The helmets! We'd better get the helmets.

What happened? How did I get out of the ship?

What are you looking at me like that for?

We don't know what happened, Karan.

Only some of us have been behaving strangely

with no memory of it afterward.

Do you feel all right now?

I guess so.

You're sure?

Yes, yes, I'm sure.

All right, go inside.

Some of the men seem to be hurt, doctor.

I want you to take a look at them.

He doesn't remember anything either.

What's happened? What's going on?

I wish I knew.

I can't see anything.

Not a sign of the Galliot.

Yet we don't seem to be damaged at all.

Come on, let's get in the ship.

I can't see a scratch on the radar guidance arms.

Let's check the underside.

There's no damage.

It's as if we made a practice landing

at the space academy.

Come on let's get in.

All right, all right.

Quiet down. Quiet down. Stay calm.

Let's all try to stay calm

and figure out what happened.

Now, the automatic controls went completely haywire.

Maybe we can find out why

after Wess has had a chance to check over his recordings.

Without warning, the force of gravity increased like mad.

And it went up to 40 G.

A force which only a planet

with a mass 1,000 times superior to ours

could've put out.

That's not all.

While you were all unconscious

and I was expecting the ship to crash head-on,

the force suddenly stopped and we set down gently.

And then... You all went crazy.

And if you hadn't held out,

I hate to think of what would've happened.

Yes, it is pretty puzzling.

What do you think, professor Karan?

I don't know. I don't know what to think.

I've always known that any force greater than 25 G's

kills every living thing in a few seconds.

Urgent. Urgent.

Emergency!

Be quiet.

Emergency!

Conditions desperate.

Little chance of survival. Help us.

We can't hold out much longer.

Repeat. Conditions desperate.

Sounds like capt. Salas.

They must be in trouble. Sanya, keep trying.

Burt, take a look on the infra-ray,

see if you can spot anything. They must be fairly close.

Urgent. Urgent. Help us.

Hello. Hello. Argos calling Galliot.

Argos calling Galliot.

We're receiving you. Continue on this frequency.

We'll try to get a fix on you. What is your position?

Argos calling Galliot. Argos calling Galliot!

Mark, look!

What have you got?

The Galliot.

The red's cut through. Can't tell how far it is.

Get me a fix on this right now.

We'll do a low-altitude takeoff and search.

They can't be too far away.

Wess, Brad, control.

All our solar batteries have been short-circuited.

Any visible reason?

Another mystery?

Wess, what can we do about it?

I checked the temperature. Second lavic stage.

I'm not interested in the temperature.

Can we get across it or not?

Well, it's pretty dangerous down there.
