Countdown for blast off. X-5 for free. X-1 fire. From the far horizons of the unknown. Come transcribed tales of new dimensions in time and space.

These are stories of the future. Adventures in which you'll live in a million could be years on a thousand maybe worlds. The National Broadcasting Company in cooperation wit galaxy science fiction magazine presents Tongue Tonight's story Colony by Philip K Dick the existence of Planet Blue the fourth in orbit around a G-Tite Sun

Somewhere in the Aldebaran sector was predicted by spectroscopic analysis and Spacetio mathematical equations some 50 years before an exploring mission was dispatched to it. The research team, under Commander Stella Morrison of the Colonial Administration, went into orbit around Planet Blue at 0700 standard to aerial time.

Authorized procedures were followed. Aerial photography completed, Commander. Anything show on the plate? Well, Masterson was suspicious of these lines towards the poles, but the angle seemed to be coincidence. They are not artifacts. Glacial falls.

Geological survey reports, no volcanism. The launch is back. Dodd has a landing site pinpointed. Preliminary atmospheric tests look good. There's a .7 bulge in oxygen, but it's just enough to make you feel good. Looks like an open air job.

No pressure suits are condenser, man. But that's precisely what they thought on Centauri 1. And the whole expedition was wiped out by spores. Of course I was assuming a favorable bio-check. Preliminary photographic survey, Mr. Wood.

Thank you, Dodds. You want them played back here? We haven't transcribed the tape. If you please, Lieutenant. 393. Al, pipe the phototapes up here on 3.24. Looks like a green world, alright. Punch up the tape if you please, Lieutenant.
