The Mysterons Humanity makes a terrible mistake and precipitates a war of nerves with the Mysterons from Mars. Their first target is the World President, under the protection of Spectrum officers Captain Scarlet and Captain Brown. When both men are killed and resurrected as Mysteron agents, Spectrum must fight their own people in order to save the President's life. Winged Assassin The Mysterons target the Director General of the United Asian Republic. After a failed assassination attempt, the Mysterons destroy and rebuild a DT-19 aircraft to aid their mission. Captain Scarlet returns to duty, apparently now virtually indestructible, but will this be enough to stop the Mysterons? Big Ben Strikes Again A nuclear device is stolen while being transported through London and it doesn't take long for the Mysterons to announce the city itself as their latest target. All Spectrum have to go on is a lead from the driver of the nuclear transporter, who claims that he heard Big Ben strike thirteen times. With time running out, can Spectrum use this cryptic clue to find the device before it's too late? Point 783 The Supreme Commander of Earth Forces is threatened with death by the Mysterons. Scarlet and Blue escort him to a briefing at SHEF, narrowly averting an assassination attempt. Moving the Supreme Commander to a fortified bunker in the desert, Spectrum faces an even greater challenge: the new Unitron tank has been programmed to destroy the Supreme Commander at all costs! Manhunt The Mysterons make their first mistake when their agent Captain Black exposes himself to a short-life atomic isotope. This makes him detectable for a short period of time and Spectrum mobilize a net of Geiger counter-equipped tracking vehicles. With the net closing, a desperate Captain Black takes Symphony Angel hostage while Scarlet and Blue rush to the rescue. Operation Time The Mysterons announce that they are going to kill time. This baffling statement has Spectrum following up countless leads until Captain Magenta guesses the answer. The Spectrum forces prioritize the security of General Tiempo, whom they believe to be the Mysterons target and who is scheduled to undergo revolutionary surgery at the hands of Doctor Magnus. Unbeknownst to Spectrum, Magnus is a Mysteron agent and the General's life is in greater danger than they think! Renegade Rocket Space Major Reeves is taken over by the Mysterons and launches a Variable Geometry Rocket from Base Concord, stealing the control unit containing the destruct code and target information. With no idea where the rocket is due to strike, Spectrum attempt to retrieve the control unit from Reeves, to no avail. As the rocket begins to descend, Spectrum realize that the rocket's target is Base Concord itself! White As Snow Colonel White leaves Cloudbase after the Mysterons threaten to kill him, reasoning that such a threat endangers the other members of Spectrum. He takes refuge on board a submarine and is assigned protection in the form of Ensign Soames. However, neither the crew nor the Colonel realize that Soames is a Mysteron agent. With the Mysterons seemingly free to carry out their threat, could this be the end for Colonel White?
