The size of such an adventures from the world of tomorrow. The year is beyond 2000 AD. 2000 plus presents the rocket and the skull for 10 minutes. We'll try again.

Yes, every moment. Tomorrow morning. The redberry is the only man who knows every step of the rocket.

You're not getting him. That's the scanner in return to standard beam. Yes, sir. Doctor, tomorrow morning. Everything is ready for you.

What? The entire general staff will be there. Maybe the president himself. Stand before you come in. He wants them. I can't even have a lot of trouble at 700 miles an hour. What's that?

Automatic distress signal, sir. Coming from Colonel Bradbury's plane. Hello, Crash Central. This is Beethoven. Automatic distress signal coming in on channel 4.2.0. Colonel Bradbury flying a rocket jet X-93. Hey, Beethoven is the Crash Central.

Beam contact 16 over 8. Carry out emergency crash procedures. You were able to get your general. We're going to operate very shortly.

I tell you, it's a miracle he's alive. This will be more of a miracle that he's alive one hour from now. You've got to save him. He's an important man. He has the White House call and the purpose of the Pentagon.

We know kind of Bradbury's impossible is very difficult. I know you'll do all you can. I hear General. It'll make people go abroad. It might have been better if he'd stayed in the ship.

You heard what the doctor said? Yes, sir. A shattered skull. We need to carry out the experiment tomorrow. And it's very delicate, sir. May take another hour or even more.

You'll carry it out in my orders to postpone the experiment. You'll throw it out in the oven. Brad doesn't believe we'll have to start in the project back a year and the year could be dangerous.
