EXPERIMENTS UNFOLDED
The Androids are the nearest thing ever to human robots. They are perfectly controllable, and can be programmed to accomplish any task that man requires, explains Corby. "These creatures can be of great help to all of us" he claims.
SPACE FACT —
Planet with a surface temperature closest to Earth — Mars. |
20 |
 |
HEART OF METAL
Captain Kirk seems unconvinced of both the capabilities of the Androids and the good intentions of Dr. Corby. Corby suggests a demonstration and he commands one of the Androids, Andrea, to kiss Captain Kirk and then to strike him. This she does without any sign of feeling. |
21 |
 |
CORBY'S DEMANDS
Corby insists that he must be allowed to continue his experiments either on EXO III or another planet. "If you will not agree, I will produce my own solution" Corby cries. At this point the Android, Rock, seizes Kirk and awaits his instructions from Corby.

23 |
 |
OPERATION DUPLICATE
Kirk and the Android mould are strapped to the revolving machine, that through its mechanism, can transfer all the faculties in duplicate from the human Kirk to the Android Kirk. The Space Captain, already thinking ahead, plants clues in the Android's mind that may bring help later. |
24 |
 |
SWITCH ON
Further evidence of the absolute control of the Android mind by Corby is given when both Rock and Andrea stand by the master controls of the machine. The command of "Switch On" is awaited and then the revolving machine is thrown into action.

CHRISTINE PUZZLED
The operation is completed—the unsuspecting Christine tackles Captain Kirk and asks that some contact be made with Enterprise. She is concerned at what she sees. Suddenly she realises that she has been talking to the Android "Kirk"—how is she to act in this situation?

KIRK AND KIRK
Corby again demonstrates his intentions. Android "Kirk" asks the Captain to allow Corby access to Star Ship. He demands that Corby's plan is followed and that Kirk should co-operate. Clearly Dr. Corby has been successful in producing a perfect programmed Android copy of Captain Kirk. |
| 28 |
 |
CORBY PLEADS FOR TIME
Dr. Corby pleads with Captain Kirk to allow him to continue his experiments. "Take me and my equipment to an uninhabited planet and let me produce more perfect Androids who can be used for good on Earth as workers", says Corby.

ESCAPE AND HOPE
With Doctor Corby still in his hold, Captain Kirk moves out of the cavern chamber into a passage using Corby as a shield between himself and the Android Rock. Corby, unable to speak, signals to Rock to stay away.

| 34 |
 |
KIRK IN HIDING
With Rock close on his heels Captain Kirk realises that with his knowledge of the passages, it is only a matter of time before he is recaptured. He tackles Rock, who, because of his immense strength, soon overpowers Kirk. |
35 |

ROCK IN CONTROL
During the struggle, Rock throws Captain Kirk into a deep hole in the cave. Doctor Corby has told Rock to bring Kirk back alive if possible, but the Android wonders if Kirk would be better dead as he fears that Kirk will destroy the Androids.

As Kirk continues to try to talk Rock into co-operating with him, the programmed mind of the Android rejects any criticism of Dr. Corby. In a split-second Rock lunges forward and grips Captain Kirk in a near-death lock. |
| 43 |
 |
COUNTER ATTACK
Almost as Captain Kirk is taking his last breath, Dr. Corby and Christine enter the cell. Seeing Rock in this frenzy Corby decides that the Android has got out of control and, fearing that he will turn on him, kills the massive Rock with a ray gun.

SHOCKING DISCOVERY
In the struggle, Corby's hand is caught in the door of the cell. An ugly wound appears that discloses a fantastic situation. Corby is an Android . . . no blood comes from the wound . . . only the intricate wirings of an Android are exposed. |

48 |
 |
FATEFUL MEETING
On her way to the cell, Andrea meets the Android "Kirk" but she thinks that he is the real Captain. She asks him to explain further about Dr. Corby but the Android "Kirk" pushes her away. Her puzzlement now becomes confusion . . . why has Kirk changed? |
| 49 |
 |
ANOTHER KILLING
In her confusion, Andrea's mind is unable to deal with the many problems that seem important to her. The programme that Corby manufactured for her mind did not expect to have to deal with this. As a result, Andrea shoots in panic and another Android is dead. |
50 |
 |
ANDREA REPORTS
With the killing of the Android "Kirk" in her mind, Andrea finds Corby and reports to him what she has done. Captain Kirk and Christine watch as Corby reacts to Andrea's information. As she speaks he appears to weaken and lose some

| 52 |
 |
AND NOW ONLY TWO
Corby's disappointment is obvious. His fellow Android, Andrea, shares his 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.

Mean distance of the Moon from the Earth — 238,866 miles. |
