Voice from Space Control : International Space Control Earth calling Weather Control Moon - come in please.
Nils : [into the microphone] Moonport - standing by.
Ben Jackson : It's never done that before, Doctor.
Hobson : Hobson here.
Voice from Space Control : What's happening up there? The hurricane you were guiding is now forty five degrees off course. It's threatening Hawaii.
Hobson : One of my men were taken ill. We're operational again now.
Voice from Space Control : The controller would like to know the cause of the illness.
Hobson : Yes, so would we. We've now got three men down with this mysterious virus in the past few hours - including the Doctor.
Voice from Space Control : One moment please. Stand by for further instructions.
Hobson : Just hang on for another couple of minutes lads. We better hear what the great Mr. Rinberg has to say.
Nils : Nobby?
Hobson : Yes.
Nils : There it is again. I'll play it back to you.
Hobson : [recorded voice from the tape] "Yes, so would we. We've now got three men down with this mysterious virus in the past few hours - including the Doctor."
Voice from Space Control : [recorded voice from the tape] "One moment please. Stand by for further instructions."
Nils : Here the big noise ratio on that re-run. We're being monitored again.
Hobson : Monitored?
Nils : Someone, not too far away from the base, is listening to every word we say.

Voice from Space Control : Moonbase, Moonbase, come in Moonbase.
Hobson : Still standing by.
[pause]
Hobson : Well?
Voice from Space Control : Your instructions to send blood samples back to Earth for investigation.
Hobson : Well, when can we do that? The next shuttle rocket's not for another month.
Voice from Space Control : Then they must be put on that rocket. In the meantime the Moonbase is to put into quarantine.
Hobson : Quarantine! What if these men aren't fit enough to go back to work? I shall need replacements.
Voice from Space Control : If you radio information about this virus, we'll do our best to identify it and suggest treatment.
Hobson : I demand to speak to Rinberg.
Voice from Space Control : The controller is busy - sorry. Over and out.
Nils : That whole conversion was monitored by someone or something.
Hobson : Oh, never mind about that now. That Rinberg fellow just won't talk to you. How can we trace down this mystery illness with the Doctor himself down with it.
