'Signals' (Part One) by Rob Hoegee |
Following Brains’ discovery that the message intercepted by Braman may have come from Jeff Tracy, the International Rescue team re-review their recordings of the final events of the tragic Zero-X incident. Eight years ago, the Hood stole the prototype spaceship, but then its engines began to overload, threatening the world with an extinction-level event; Jeff Tracy managed to get aboard the vessel in a daring attempt to stop the villain, but the Hood fled in an escape capsule, leaving Jeff to seemingly perish when the Zero-X exploded. After explaining that the signal discovered by Braman came from the Oort Cloud 2.5 light years away, a distance that would take Thunderbird 3 ten years to cover, Brains proposes a search for the Hood’s missing escape capsule in the hope that it will contain more information on the plight of the Zero-X; but the capsule could be in one of two places: either in the Midpoint Salvage Exclusion Zone between Earth and the Moon, or at the bottom of the sea. With Gordon out of action from his injuries, Scott resolves to search the ocean floor in Thunderbird 4, transported from Tracy Island by Virgil and Lady Penelope in Thunderbird 2, while Kayo and Alan blast off in Thunderbird 3 to search through tons of space junk. Elsewhere, Havoc receives a report from the spy within the GDF; when she informs the Hood about International Rescue’s strange activities, the villain despatches the Chaos Crew to find out what his enemies are desperately searching for…
