The Homecoming

An unidentified space capsule is tracked from deep space, entering the atmosphere to crash-land in the Arctic. Scarlet and Blue discover that the capsule is from the Endeavor II, a manned mission to Jupiter which disappeared fifteen years ago. Inside, two members of the three-man crew lie dead in their cryogenic tubes, but the third is miraculously still alive and revealed to be Commander Lewis - Lieutenant Green's father! Revived on Skybase and cleared by Dr. Gold's DNA test, Lewis is reunited with his daughter who offers to accompany him to the Space Agency in New Mexico. Then Scarlet learns that Dr. Gold had unwittingly performed the DNA test on himself, and the man being escorted to the Space Agency is a Mysteron replicant...

Then Spectrum receives a ransom demand from an extortionist who threatens to initiate the Mercury's re-entry over North America and crash the shuttle on Washington. With a nuclear power cell on board, the consequences are unthinkable - more so if Captain Black locates the extortionist before Scarlet and obtains the shuttle's access code!

Chiller

Investigating reports of a Mysteron cell operating in Phoenix, Arizona, Scarlet trails a pair of Mysteron agents to a remote desert diner. There he overhears the agents bribing Spectrum flight-engineer Xander Story to smuggle a bomb aboard Skybase, but when he attempts to apprehend them, Scarlet is shot down. Then the Mysterons drive a petro-chemical truck into the diner and Scarlet is incinerated in the explosion. Blue finds Scarlet's body and returns it to Skybase, but Scarlet's injuries are too severe even for the retrometabolisation process and he is pronounced dead. However, Scarlet recovers consciousness to find himself apparently alive and well - until he realises that he has become intangible and none of his colleagues can see or hear him.
