Interior of starcruiser
Nurek pilot: We have a 19 second vector, Sire
Graal): Activate the retro-rockets
Cut to Noxon.
Lady Agatha is watching intently on a video-screen.. a hapless innocent and rather nubile young woman is manhandled onto the set..stripped naked and placed in a futuristic looking machine. Dr Kraspin presses buttons..needles advance...the woman whimpers..then screams...then shrieks. Then dies, her vital juicey juices drained by the insidious machine.
Kraspin ( Through intercom, to a watching Agatha ): Satisfied, My Lady ??
Agatha: I never am, Kraspin, and you know it. How can I be when I know that the effect will only last one day?
Kraspin: Didnt I promise you the formula once we left Noxon?? Patience, My Lady..meanwhile, His Lordship's bed will continue to be graced by your undiminishing beauty. But remember My Lady...science may have conquered age...but it will never succeed in conquering death...
Cut to Noxon spaceport...hanger doors open. Onlookers gather, as Graal's Nurek cruiser hovers into view. It does not, in any way , look like a cheap plastic model kit. Rousing imperious elevator music plays. Kraspin and Agatha watch and exchange glances. Graal disembarks, flanked by black-clad scarey types. The stench of all-conquering evil is rank and rampant in the air.
Kraspin: So..your powerful friend has come ! just as he promised..
Agatha: His Lordship always keeps his promises..especially when its in his interest to do so..remember that, Kraspin... and remember that if it hadn't been for me, you'd still be in mental control sattellite...and under constant sedation. I used every resource at my disposal to set you up here
Kraspin: And we both know why, don't we..
Agatha: The serums formula is not such a high price to pay, considering all I've done for you...and I want it before we leave Noxon.
Kraspin: Don't you trust me, Lady Agatha? Don't I give you daily doses? You haven't aged one minute since you've been here, have you !
Agatha: I trust no one....and you know it
Lady Agatha and Kraspin enter the hanger. They reverently bow to Lord Graal
Lady Agatha: Welcome to Noxon, my Omnipotent Lord
Graal : You are more beautiful than I remember, Lady Agatha. One might say time has stopped for you...my compliments, Doctor Kraspin..you and My Lady have created an extraordinary base of operations.
Aggers: For you, Sire, and your conquest of Metropolis.
Graal: Which won't be an easy task..apart from manpower and equipment, Metropolis also possesses vast nuclear reserves.
Kraspin: My plan is deceptively simple, Sire..I shall create for you an army of humanoids...indestructible human robots..all I need is the secret element, which i hope you've obtained for me..
Graal: I have...the attack on the institute went exactly according to plan
Kraspin ( passionately ): And the girl....was she killed??????
Graal: Unfortunately Barbara Gibson was not at the institute when my men attacked..but tell me..why do you hate her so much?
Kraspin: She destroyed years of my work..committed me to an asylum !! only her death can satisfy me..
Graal: I am certain we shall have another opportunity
