Biography[]
Orbiting the earth is the unlicensed pirate television satellite, KLA. On board are DJ Rick O'Shea and his engineer, Loman.
Something's Wrong[]
The destruction of a faulty Telsat 4 rocket, is too close for comfort and causes damage to the pirate satellite. Loman realizes that their satellite is headed for re-entry and their breaking parachutes will not operate.
Trapped Outside[]
In a spacesuit, Loman goes outside to assess the damage but becomes trapped in the airlock when the inner door will not open on his return.
A Call For Help[]
Unable to open the airlock, O'Shea uses their transmitter to call for help, but the call goes unheard on Thunderbird 5. Fortunately, Tin-Tin Kyrano is watching KLA and alerts Jeff Tracy, who dispatches Virgil Tracy and Brains in Thunderbird 2 and Alan Tracy with Scott Tracy in Thunderbird 3. As KLA begins re-entry, Alan space-walks across to the satellite using rocket thrusters, rescues the unconscious Loman from the airlock and returns him safely to Thunderbird 3.
Trivia[]
