[edit] Opening narration

In the vast immensities of cosmic space, bold adventurers streak their way to join battle with strange enemies on strange worlds — the alien, the unknown, perhaps even the invisible, armed only with Man's earthbound knowledge...

[edit] Plot

A colonisation survey mission to Mars ends in tragedy when the two astronauts of rocket M1 disappear. Three years later, a second mission of four astronauts is sent to Mars, with intentions of discovering what happened to rocket M1. What they discover demonstrates that colonisation will not be as easy as they thought.

[edit] Closing narration

"'Battle joined. Casualties? Yes. Resolution: Victory, of a sort. A painful step from the crib of destiny. On another day, a friend, perhaps, instead of a deadly peril — part of the saga of the space pioneers."

[edit] Trivia

  • This episode's alternate title is "The Yellow Sand"
  • The sand shark makes a cameo appearance in the next episode, Wolf 359
