V.O. (Moonbase) I. F zero two six Southern England
STRAKER; (Tensely) Close enough. It’s target is this studio. (Turns to Ford) Maintain visual contact on countdown.
FORD; Yes sir
STRAKER; (Fiercely) Then order a complete shutdown.
FOSTER; (loudly, amazed) Shutdown?
STRAKER: (Close-up) Everything. VHF, Radar the computers. Everything. Ah, ....wait,..... on second thoughts everything except the coffee machines

HENDERSON; (smugly, yet angrily) Straker I’m relieving you of your command. Colonel Foster will take over as of now.
Close up on Foster, grinning hugely
STRAKER; (calmly, hands behind back) You can’t do it Henderson. You require the unanimous backing of the committee.
HENDERSON; You think I won’t get it?
STRAKER; Yes, I think you could get it, but it would take time
HENDERSON; And this base is due to be attacked in a few minutes. (turns to face Paul Foster) Colonel Foster? Assume command.
FOSTER; (Leaps up and punches the air) Yippee!!
