Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet Page #2

We wish you to feel free to discontinue the

expedition at your own discretion.

Don't take unnecessary risks.

Your lives are too valuable.

All the nations of Europe are eagerly

awaiting the results of your exploration.

We wish you all success.

Switch.

Lunar 7.

My men.

The ship.

Are just about to break through en route.

The plan is to land approximately the plot area 73.

This should put us in position to contact Sherman

and Kern or to give them help if needed.

My people are proud and privileged to be...

...chosen members of this expedition.

The first on Venus' surface.

Our special thanks to all people of Earth.

Well, my boy...

All we can do now is wait.

What do you think they'll find, doctor?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Let's just hope that they arrive there safely.

We're landed.

Voila.

Don't begin celebrating yet.

Ooh.. Oh!

Is our level okay?

Yep, there it is.

On the button!

Boy, it sure feels strange to have weight!

Yes, it does seem strange.

That's sure.

But it's nice and solid.

Well, I don't know about you fellas...

But I'd like to see Venus.

Open number 3 and hit the beam.

Paper. Try the port viewer.

Telescreen gets it okay.

We'll pan port.

Formations of weird rock.

Something's there.

I'll switch on the outside sound pickup.

What is it?

- A human being?

- Hold it.

It's finished.

Transfer it to playback.

Meanwhile, you might check up on the atmosphere, Hans.

It better be good.

And you better get your spacesuit. We'll move out.

Andre, I want you to attempt a contact

with Sherman by radio.

If you raise them, tell them to report their position.

Then get yourself into a spacesuit and walk about.

- I'm right behind you.

- That'll be handy if I slip.

Get hopping now.

It's 4.7 on oxygen.

That's pretty close.

I thought we were lucky!

Good solid rock.

I'll check out there.

Keep on the rope. Don't get out of visual contact.

- I just received a message.

- What did they say?

- Marsha has radared Sherman.

- Sherman?

She can't be sure, but it looks like two objects, one

metallic and moving in the area we expected to search.

Probably Kern and Sherman.

Come on, Andre!

As soon as she knows for sure,

she'll contact us.

Andre!

It's got Andre!

Cut 'em free.

Nothing's broken?

Get a shot at that thing.

Careful, Andre.

Can ya imagine that?

He's bashful.

Why don't we take one o' those things home to the zoo?

You've got to be more careful, Andre.

- If we hadn't heard you call me -

- I didn't call.

You called out to us. We heard you.

But I didn't call you.

- It sounded like 'Lockhart'.

- Let's be getting back.

Call Marsha again, Andre.

Made contact with crew of Sirius

again at 0825.

They reported a perfect landing on square 73 as planned.

Marsha, this is Commander Lockhart.

Yes, Commander.

I'm afraid you haven't given us enough information

about the location of the spacecraft.

I need to know their precise position.

I'm sorry. I was so happy you'd made

a safe landing, I forgot to tell you.

They're at square 107, about a mile from the red spot.

The direct distance from you is

thirty-two miles across the bay.

We'll have to go by air.

Is the car ready?

Lowered and ready.

- Will the car make it there?

- It does, or we walk.

I'd sure like a four-lane freeway.

Bet that you get a flag.

- Commander?

- Yes?

What's happened to the robot?

Marsha...

Marsha?

Have you been apprised at all about the robot?

Well, apparently they're having some difficulty with him.

He was loaded aboard the ship

partially disassembled.

I'm afraid they haven't been able to reassemble him yet.

Keep coming.

Come on, John.

Go and return!

Look out! Here's another one!

Behind you!

Look out!

Move John.

Adjusting...

There.

There's one hundred and ten.

Secure yourself to that boulder, John.

Proceed. Proceed!

He's as shocked to find this place as we are.

I'm wondering if we should be here at all.

Why don't you catch a bus and go home?

Don't think I wouldn't if I could find one.

There he is.

He's off.

Pull aside, he can hold it.

You'd better go first.

I'll come along after you.

Stop the car about here.

See what I see?

Snoozing.

...he may want us for lunch.

I'll try for a blood sample. I don't know.

Take the blood out of his tail!

- Stay out of his vision!

- Right!

Make it straight now!

Push back!

He never even knew I was there!

I told you he was snoozing.

What did Marsha say?

They're all moving toward our present position now.

Very slowly.

Let's rest.

We have very little oxygen left us.

But they're on their way.

- Looking for us.

- Through this heat?

They may not be able to make it through to us.

You better hope they'll get through it and spot us.

I'm beginning to feel like my head's swimming.

Of course.

It's your torn suit.

The infection is getting through.

- Maybe we oughtta take some Quinsel -

- No.

We'd have to rest after.

Must... keep...

...moving.

The shoreline's the best.

If we do, my friend, we'll never make it to 'em.

Fat chance there is of finding 'em.

That noise again!

Hold off?

Almost sounds like a girl.

A girl?

Perhaps.

Or a monster.

It's a human sound.

Well, there are sure no humans here.

Well, we're humans.

Well, no one else has made it. You better believe it.

But it sounds so human.

Sub-human, you mean, like that forty-armed

plant that just grabbed you.

I still say it's a girl.

A girl! With blue scales!

Could be he's on to something.

It's possible that before us, other men got here.

Especially in this age.

You ought to know that, Hans.

To a man of science, anything is possible

until proven otherwise.

It wouldn't be surprising if maybe

Andre'd find something.

Furthermore, this whole galaxy could be

explored and inhabited.

Well, I can't imagine any people in their right

mind exploring planet Venus.

Come on, Hans.

We're here. And we're in our right minds.

- Aren't we?

- Ha! Let's go.

To cross water. My magnetism

is in danger.

Need protection.

Alright, John. Find shelter.

Don't stop.

- We have to go on.

- Come on up.

We can't stay here. We'll be washed away.

Bring him this way. There is no water.

Come on.

A little bit further.

There's a cave right over there.

Come on.

That's it.

Just a few steps further.

There.

There.

I don't think I can go much further.

John, stay with us.

Make sure they find us.

They should know. Trust.

Must continue to work the laws of mathematics.

There's always a precise probability

mathematics might prove...

...mathematics might...

Marsha... Marsha.

Hear us. Hear us, Marsha.

You... you must help us.

It's... it's close in here.

I await your orders. I await your orders.

Help.

Find us.

John.

Kern, Sherman.

Kern, Sherman.

Come in, please.

Come in, please.

Kern, Sherman, answer, please.

Hans Walters, do you hear me?

I sure do. What seems to be the matter?

What makes you think there's something wrong?

I can always tell by the tone of your voice.

Oh. Well, I can't seem to contact Kern and Sherman
