EPISODE #32 – CURSE OF THE CUTTLEFISH (PART ONE)

The G-Force has been sent on a Top Secret mission. For the first time they are going to attack Spectra before Zoltar attempts another raid on Earth. But the Spirit has already put a plan into action – not an attack on Earth, but on her sister planet, Arcturus. The Spirit has discovered that the Conway Tapes have been hidden on Arcturus and that these tapes contain all of the Earth’s Defense Codes.

The G-Force mission on Spectra is interrupted by a red alert to head to Arcturus. Before they can arrive, a giant Cuttlefish Robot sub attacks the Arcturian Air Force and destroys it. When the Phoenix arrives it locates the Cuttlefish and goes after it. The robot lures them underwater and then releases a smoke screen of ink. Our heroes are unable to see where they are going and crash into an underwater reef. With the Phoenix badly damaged, Mark and his friends decide to go onto the land by foot.

Meanwhile, Agent S-9, the most brilliant planetary spy in the galaxy, has been sent by Zoltar to make contact with the radical anti-Arcturian underground. She finds them and takes command of them for Spectra. Her first move is to stage a mugging with herself as the victim. Her young accomplice goes to Keyop with the Princess for help and they rescue S-9. The female spy then takes them back to her home and, during dinner, drugs them. She then transports them to the Cuttlefish where they are held prisoner. (TO BE CONTINUED…)
