Space Visitors
Episode Two
Attention.
The expedition for contact with Earth's civilisation...
has received the signal for take off.
Before starting, confirmation is needed...
regarding the possibility of covert contact with the abducted scientists
and the possibility of influencing the subconscious of a human...
who is in a state of...
hypnotic dream.
Airplanes and helicopters are on patrol.
Observation by all Earth satellites has commenced.
In case...
the visiting ship attempts to leave Earth's vicinity,
pursuit groups have been formed...
that will attempt to capture it.
The brain of the Earthling numbers more than fourteen billion cells;
it is capable of the most complex operations,
and is sensitive to covert influence.
Attention.
Prepare for take off.
Block Earth's cosmodromes!
Take off!
Attention!
The alien ship's take-off has been detected!
Attention, attention! Alert!
East and west sectors:
Fire rockets into the air! Attention!
Cosmodrome North is disabled! Alert!
We were too late.
We're able to block Earth's cosmodromes
for no longer than two Earth hours.
Therefore, we shall begin the experiment with the scientists immediately,
before arrival...
at the intergalactic station.
The Earthling's nervous system
is able to bear
sizable...
overload.
At critical moments,
its neural potential
greatly...
increases.
Attention!
An asteroid approaches.
Activate the shield.
Let's continue the experiment.
Dispatch Centre! Dispatch Centre!
Can you hear me?
Where are all the others?
Hello, Dispatch Centre!
It's not a bad idea,
brother-in-mind.
You're interested in scientists,
aren't you?
Walking repositories of...
information.

You're interested in scientists,

Walking repositories of...
information.
Thank goodness.
It's you.
Oh!
What's that?
The Earthling's...
brain...
has...
enormous...
capacity for selectivity.
An unusual event
that is potentially dangerous to the Earthling's life
does not elicit aggression in the latter.

Prepare the experiment...
on
the intergalactic station.
Earthlings.
You are being spoken to by robots.
On this planet, except for us,
there is no-one left.
Our creators were humans,
the same as you.
But they exterminated
each other.
It's a fate that you have thus far avoided.
But there were also people on our planet
who tried
everything to save our planet,
our civilisation.
They entrusted us to find an intelligence in the universe
that would come to their rescue.
Did it just appear to me?
Or did you see something too?
I'll take a look.
Yes.
So...
It's all true?
We're not on Earth.
The Earthling's nervous system
is able
to bear sizeable overloads.
At critical moments,
its neural potential
greatly increases.
You're right.
We're ready to listen to you.
Earthlings!
You are being spoken to by robots.
Don't worry.
We've seen all you have shown us
and heard all you have told us.
We...
robots...
can revive our planet.
But without people,
it will die again.
Earthlings!
You can bring our people back.
For this, you must set in motion
the convector...
of time...
reversal.
Why can't it be operated by an...
automaton?
The convector of time reversal,
is coded to respond to human brain currents,
that have a high range...
of emotional output.
An automaton is powerless here.
We're at your disposal.
Command us.
The people of our planet,
ordered us to warn those...
who accept this challenge to turn back time.
After starting the convector,
you'll be crumpled and crushed
as time collapses on you.
That is what awaits you.
We're waiting for instructions
on how to operate the convector.
On behalf of our people, I communicate to you
that you've endured the toughest trial
that a human could be subjected to.
Time cannot be reversed.
Our dead people,
and our live robots,
beg your pardon for the cruel...
trial.
But we needed to be sure
that the human intellect is humane
before making the people of Earth
the successors of our civilisation.
With the help of our technology,
you will be able to water the deserts,
and turn them into oases.
You will be able to render habitable
the most wild and forbidding planets.
You will be able to control the weather,
and pacify typhoons.
You will be able to tame volcanoes,
and never fear earthquakes.
With the aid of this device,
you can notify Earth
of our coordinates.
Earth.
Earth!
Can you hear me?
After processing the information about the visitors' spaceship launch.
We succeeded in estimating its flight trajectory with high probability.
Currently, all the space fleets of Earth are ready to begin the pursuit.
Within sixty-three minutes,
we researched the energy field's structure, created by the black spheres,
and the functionality of the cosmodromes was restored.
The pirate ship of the visitors will not escape...
Earth.
Earth!
Can you hear me?
Reporting...
our coordinates,
our coordinates.
