During the events of H.G. Wells' The Shape of Things to Come (1979) played by Barry Morse
On New Washington, Senator Smedley tells Dr. Caball the lunar colony no longer has need for his intergalactic warship called Starstreak. Dr. Caball warns him that the warship may be needed in defense of the lunar colony. Senator Smedley is still trying to convince Dr. Caball to dispose of his warship and threatens to ask for Dr. Caball's resignation, when the Yellow Alert starts to blare. Dr. Caball and Senator Smedley walk onto the bridge as Jason tries to convince Lomax to override the incoming spaceship's controls. The Lunar Technician notifies everyone that there is 70 seconds to impact. Lomax attempts to override the spaceship and cause it to self destruct, but fails, and the spaceship impacts with the Lunar Colony. Lomax opens communications with Delta Three and Omus tells Dr. Caball, the former governor Niki and Niki's Army have fled the citadel and he is now in charge. Omus demands that he be made supreme commander of the Earth and the Moon and all outposts in the Solar System. Senator Smedley refuses his demands and Omus stops all shipments of RADIC-Q-2 immediately. Dr. Caball goes into the fuel center of Starstreak, but suffers a heavy dose of radiation initiating the fuel center of Starstreak. He, Jason, Kim and Sparks lift off in Starstreak. Sparks tells Dr. Caball that there is a malfunction with the ships gyrocompass and he decides to go to Earth to make repairs. Dr. Caball tells Kim, an old friend named Charlie Montgomery still lives on Earth and may be able to help them. They land on Earth and Kim and Jason go to look for Charlie Montgomery. Jason tells Dr. Caball, he found Charlie dead and Dr. Caball sends Sparks to help Jason. Jason and Kim tell Dr. Caball about the Irradiated Children, but he tells them they can't bring the children with them and they promise to come back to help the kids later. They fly to Delta Three as Dr. Caball's condition worsens. Kim finds Dr. Caball reading a book about Greece and he tells her about their philosophy. The Starstreak runs into a magnetic field and go through time dilation, but make it out alive. They arrive near Delta Three and see a Phobus Four cargo ship on their monitor heading towards New Washington. They pick up a distress signal from Delta Three and head towards its coordinates. They meet up with Niki and her Army and greet each other. Omus' Robot army attacks them, but suddenly stops. A giant image of Omus appears in the sky and he declares himself the Emperor of Delta Three. Omus invites Dr. Caball to his citadel and Dr. Caball goes with Omus' Robots to the citadel. Omus shows Dr. Caball all he has built on Delta Three and tells Dr. Caball if they accept him as their leader, there will be no war. Dr. Caball tries to convince Omus to surrender, but Omus refuses and says someday humans will no longer be necessary. Omus then puts on a protective helmet and releases a field of some kind that kills Dr. Caball.
