After looking at another exterior of Pacifica, we are back inside the control room again with the two Professors monitoring the controls. They watch them and then they turn to face each other to begin a discussion.
Dimplex:
All quiet on the western front then, Professor.
Bagby:
Hmph? Erm, yes. Yes. It is. I just hope Stingray and Marineville will be alright. We will be now that our defences are back online and running satisfactorily.
Dimplex:
And still hoping they have a good time tonight.
Bagby:
And, I know I've said it already, we're stuck here pressing buttons and knobs.
Dimplex:
And what have I said already? Some of us still have to keep the place running in case the automatic programming goes wrong somehow, and then we'd have to call out International Rescue.
After viewing the two stock footage Tracy Island exteriors again, we see Jeff at his desk alone in the lounge at his desk after panning around from looking at Gordon's portrait to slowly revealing Jeff. He looks to the photos of his five sons and Lady Penelope.
Jeff:
Base to Thunderbird 5.
We see the Earth to the bottom left-hand side of the screen and then move up to be revealed to Thunderbird 5 orbiting in space. This is the same stock footage as seen in the rest of the series. We see John holding a radio as he stands at the ergonomically operated control console as we see alternating shots, not necessarily in this order but, of John, the view of him from the portrait, and Jeff at the desk with the boxed ashtray open disguised as a radio.
John:
Base from Thunderbird 5, hi dad. What's new.
Jeff:
I'm just letting you know that Gordon, Brains, Penelope, and Parker are currently at Marineville and that all is quiet down here on Earth. Anything to report from the satellite?
John:
No father. Everything seems pretty quiet up here. It's like a morgue. But I shouldn't say that, because no doubt at some point it's going to get pretty busy with an emergency call. Usually at a time I least expect.
We now cut to the exterior of Titanica and are then revealed in Titan's throne room again. He ponders to himself as he begins muttering.
Titan:
Hmm. It's all quiet for the moment. The drilling project for Cahelium sources will be completed tomorrow. And then it will be time to make our final move. My ultimate dreams of victory are assured...
Titan laughs in his throne room and we zoom away from him and we fade to blackness...
