'Flame Out' by Benjamin Townsend |
Two space freighters collide in Earth’s upper atmosphere, the impact jamming them together; with their vessels’ systems rendered inoperable, the two pilots are powerless to escape. Detecting the incident, John immediately contacts the pilots, Juliette Martin and Barratt Bell, only to find them more interested in arguing than accepting International Rescue’s help. Summoned by John, Alan arrives in Thunderbird 3 and begins using Maximum Max to cut the two freighters apart; however, he is stopped by EOS, who warns that the spaceships’ cargos will explode if mixed. With the freighters’ orbit rapidly decaying, Alan uses Thunderbird 3’s reverse thrusters to pull them into a low orbit, using up his own ship’s fuel in the process. Then the debris from the crash comes back around, smashing into the freighters and causing a huge explosion…
