The Tardis had been on route to the location of the Next possible member of the team The Doctor was building to take on the Grand Master's Team of Evil Doers.
As the Tardis started to exit the Time Vortex it had collided with an object or objects unknown. This had caused a power outage withing the machine causing all the lights to go out. The impact had thrown the Doctor, Hong Kong Phooey and Samurai Jack to the floor of the console room. The room was completely black and there was a deathly silence,
As the lights began to flicker back on, the Doctor dragged himself to his feet. He could see that Phooey was sitting up rubbing his head, whilst Jack was also trying to compose himself.
" Are you both Ok ?" enquirer the Doctor. Jack and Phooey nodded.
"What hit us ?" asked Phooey
The Doctor was unsure, but first wanted to see if his Tardis had not been too badly damaged by the impact.
The Central Time Rota had stopped moving up and down, so he knew that they had either landed or had materialized somewhere out in space....... But where were they ?
The Tardis had already started to self repair many of its circuits.... But the Viewer was still off line. So the Doctor could not use it to have a look around outside. He knew that he could open the exterior door... but would the ships force field be operative. It not he and his friends could be either sucked out into space or if they had landed on a hostile planet, could be a the mercy of dangerous creatures or poisoned by gas or such like.
No he would have to wait for the Tardis to finish its repairs. The Tardis trembled once more. Had something stuck them again.....? The Doctor believed that taking no action could result in further damage.
The Doctor started to fiddle with the viewer screen. "That's it " he Said excited.
"We cannot see whats outside at the moment, but we can see what happened just before the Crash " he continued.
Turning the Viewer screen Knob, the screen started to come to life.
Stepping back and encouraging his friends to come forward, the three looked towards the Viewer screen that had started to work.
On the screen they could see a view of stars and planets.... and a small yellow rocket ship.
"Did we hit that Big Yellow Metal Bird ?" Said Jack.
" Well, that Big Yellow Metal Bird is called The Phantom Cruiser, and if we had hit that it would show signs of damage " replied The Doctor
The Doctor pushed a Button on the Console and the image enlarged. No, there appeared to be no damage on the Phantom Cruiser.
Then The Doctor pushed another button and turned a dial on the Console.
"Lets see what happened before this " he said.
The Screen changed and showed a few moments before hand.
There was nothing else out there thought The Doctor. There were some planets, but nothing else.
Then Phooey shouted "LOOK !"
The Doctor, Jack and Phooey Stood in silence as they gazed at the Viewer screen once more.
There was a man dressed in Black and White, wearing a Golden coloured cape.....It was the Space Ghost.
"Was he firing at us ?" asked Phooey
"No "said The Doctor " He appeared to be firing above us " The Doctor continued.
The Doctor replayed the footage, this time stopping frame by frame.
The Doctor wondered what the Space Ghost had been firing at.
Then a voice spoke out from one of the small speakers located on the Console.
"Space Ghost to The Doctor ! Space Ghost to The Doctor ! Come in Doctor !"
The Doctor smiled and flicked a switch " Hello Thaddeus " Said the Doctor
"Is that You Doctor ? You sound different !" Replied the voice.
"Yes it is me, but maybe not the me you remember " Chuckled The Doctor.
Phooey looked at Jack and shrugged his shoulders. He did not understand what The Doctor had meant by that comment.
"Permission to come aboard The Phantom Cruiser ?" asked the Doctor
"Permission Granted" answered The Space Ghost.
With that the Doctor turned a few dials, and pushed some levers and the Time Rota at the centre of the Console started to move up and down.
Next Time The Doctor finds out what the Space Ghost was firing at, and asks for his help.
Until Then ENJOY.
