him. |

Face to Face
Kirk tries to leave the cell with Andrea but Rock is on guard outside. Kirk

is impossible to tell them apart. To what use will Corby put this new
Android "Kirk"? |

 |
Counter Attack

the cell. Seeing Rock in this frenzy Corby decides that the Android has got out

ray gun.

in producing a perfect programmed Android copy of Captain Kirk. |

unsuspecting Corby in his grasp. Applying a death hold on Corby's throat, Kirk
warns Rock to stand back. |

 |
Androids Are Called

Kirk Moves Quickly
Andrea walks over to Captain Kirk to take his radio and ray gun but Kirk grabs
her and, in a flash, has himself covered by Andrea, with his ray gun in his
hand. He orders Brown to drop his gun, but Brown remains immobile. |

 |
Kirk Escapes
Once his exit has been achieved, Kirk throws Doctor Corby back into the room
towards Rock. Corby is so weak from the strangle-hold that he takes several
seconds to regain his voice. Meanwhile Rock awaits to Corby's instructions. |
49 |
 |
Another Killing
In her confusion, Andrea's mind is unable to deal with the many problems that

not expect to have to deal with this. As a result, Andrea shoots in panic and
another Android is dead. |

And Now Only Two

feelings. She moves forward to comfort him and, as she does so, the ray pistol
in her hand fires. The impact of the shot is too much and too close for either
Android to survive.
