Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Page #3

- Radiation?

- In some places.

The rest are ruins and scorched earth.

We depend on trade

with other planets.

Tell me about the trade agreement with

the draconians and with the princess.

The pirates who cut our transport

routes kill us with hunger.

The draconians promised

to keep them open...

in exchange for giving them

landing privileges on Earth.

I would like to see my ship.

It's possible?

Anything is possible, captain.

Those guards thought it was

crazy to come at this time.

I already slept an eternity.

Do you recognize those brands?

They are common in ships

that were in combat.

Well, I was not in combat.

You. They shot me?

- Of course not.

- Then who?

Maybe the pirates who attacked us.

And why am I still here?

Why did not they kill me?

Why did not they strip

her or open her?

The pirates are meticulous, they

would check an unarmed ship...

especially one that was shot.

He was in flight a long time.

Anything could happen.

Those brands are new.

Cordite has not oxidized.

I think Princess Ardala's

ships shot me...

before towing me inside his ship.

- Your ship is unarmed. Is the law.

- Well, it seems he's raping her.

What do you suggest, Captain?

Have them check their ship before letting

it go through its protective shield.

It would be an insult.

The alliance is based on good faith.

Good faith is for bureaucrats and

what gives them a protected city.

I would go armed to the teeth

or they will be easy prey.

For someone whose expertise

is five centuries old...

You seem to be very inflexible.

Is right.

It's not my business how

they ruin your world.

My generation did not know

what I was doing either.

- Good evening, Colonel.

- Where are you going, Captain?

- I'll go around the city.

- He's under suspicion. Can not.

I have to find out what

changed in 500 years.

- That is forbidden.

- Is a free country. At least, it was.

He is arrested and is my prisoner.

I can not let him go.

He will have to shoot me to stop me.

It does not leave me an alternative.

You did not have to come with me.

I wanted to be with you.

I wish you listened to reasons.

This is nothing compared

to what awaits us.

- Why do not we spend the night here?

- Oh, we would die frozen.

The heat that you feel is

emanated by the Inner City.

Within a few hours, the energy

will be reduced by two thirds...

and the temperature here

will be below zero.

So, I guess we have to continue.

I'm sorry I brought them.

They assigned me to be with you.

No one forced me to be on your side.

I believed in you and I still do it.

What did he say?

- You do not want to know.

- Oh.

- What did he say now?

- You do not want to know.

Come back I can face

whatever is there...

if it helps me discover

what happened to my people.

I'll stay with you, Buck.

- What did he say?

- You do not want to know.

- Stop saying that! I want to know.

- He thinks they're watching us.

It's just your imagination. Walking.

- It is impossible. Totally impossible.

- We'll be fine.

- It's not you they want.

- What?

Do not be offended,

but they want us.

My gold circuits are worth

a lot in the black market.

And as for Twiki, well, I'd hate

to tell you how they'll use it.

Buck, where are you going?

STATE STREE It's here.

I do not want to question

your strategy, Buck...

but to stop in the middle

of the street is stupid...

Given the circumstances.

Come!

I do not know where he is going.

Just follow him.

I do not know what he does.

Just follow him, Twiki.

- Holy...

- I know, Twiki.

I see them. Just keep going.

Do not think about that.

Your batteries will be exhausted.

Here my parents are buried.

At least I already know a part.

We can not stay long, Buck.

They are following us.

What happened? There is only one

gravestone, it has no date.

They only buried some lucky ones.

It happened so fast that they

buried the families together.

The systems fell and the dates

stopped being important.

In the end, there were

no armies or fighting.

Only hunger, pollution

and prolonged death.

- I wish I had been with them.

- You can not go back, Buck.

The past is gone. But you can

help us with our future.

If there is a future.

I think it's too late.

Run, Twiki.

Watch out!

Damned...

They are too many, Buck, it has no case.

If someone has some final words,

now it's time to say them.

Let's get out of here.

Go, Colonel. What brings you

here on a night like this?

Captain, I came to look for

you with great danger for me.

- Very courageous.

- Very what?

Forget it.

Well, do not expect a fanfare.

We were fine until you arrived.

Right, Theo?

- Well...

- Forget it, Theo.

Well, at least Twiki is on my side.

I like it here. It's a bit primitive,

but it's the south side of Chicago.

Captain, we waste our time. Let's move on.

I still do not finish.

So unless I'm going to shoot myself...

Captain, he escaped once, but not now.

Lieutenant.

What is the problem?

So, it does work for pirates.

- I still can not believe it.

- Well, you're the only one, Theo.

This microtransmitter was

on your navigation device.

Revealed our secret

access corridors.

This is not how an innocent man behaves.

At first I thought I was guilty.

And later...

They are subjective in their

evaluation of Buck Rogers.

I, on the other hand, support

it for practical reasons.

- And which are they?

- I'm convinced of something.

Our friend, Captain Rogers,

met Princess Ardala...

and was aboard the draconian ship.

Your descriptions

are too precise...

to be the conjectures of a pirate.

Maybe the pirates boarded that

ship and gave him the information.

Precious, they are the

deadliest enemies.

It is unlikely that a pirate

survived such a visit...

to tell it.

There's news from Captain Rogers.

They intercepted her

ship and escorted her...

as I expected.

The transmitter that we installed in your

ship gave us the necessary information...

so that my father crosses the shield?

Yes, but they discovered the transmitter.

- That bad.

- That does not change things.

When we enter, we will destroy

the shield from within.

The earthlings will not suspect...

when he tells you he was here?

They will not believe you. We can

give Captain Rogers for dead.

Stop worrying about the trial.

I am a member of the Council and

I will personally defend you.

Thanks, Theo.

It is good to have at least one friend.

Forgive me, Twiki. Two friends.

The Council is ready to

hear the final arguments...

in the case against

Captain Buck Rogers...

on charges of espionage and treason.

- Lawyer Apol.

- The case of the State is elementary.

The captain flew through

our defense network...

with a microtransmitter, revealing

the accesses of the shield.

What reward would you consider fair...

Captain Rogers for selling

to the human race?

Only your pirate

friends can respond.

But I maintain that in my opinion...

what they seek at all costs is the

destruction of the treaty with Draconia.
