The monitor on the screen in the Dinorod base presents four of them flying around the Earth's orbit. The fifth pod is descending down towards North Africa, and West Asia. We cut to see the pod burning through the atmosphere as the colour of space slowly changes to the blueness of the sky. The trackers keep a close position of it.

Jasper:

It's not burning up in the atmosphere as we thought, Narvara sir.

Narvara:

And the orbit the pods are floating infer the theory I suggested earlier.

Jasper:

Course now estimated for... North Africa, West Asia.

Narvara:

It's a start.

We see John in Thunderbird 5 looking out to the Earth whilst listening to the radio transmission of Dinorod from the other side of the control room.

This is Dinorod Space Commission calling Spectrum Headquarters Cloudbase and the World Space Patrol at Space City. The first pod is descending into the Earth's atmosphere and is estimated for arrival somewhere near West Asia or North Africa. Further details will be relayed closer to arrival impact, as well as the position of the other four pods.

John looks out into space.

John:

And I'll be monitoring out here too. Eye in the sky. Still can't see it on visual from here.

We view the planet from John's perspective. This then changes to Salib and Saleb back in the desert hopelessly preying to some old ancient God.

Saleb:

Salib. Salib! We must go from here. Come back when we have had rest.

Salib:

The great Sarlah waits for nothing. No one.

Saleb:

I will leave you here, Salib. But I must go.

Saleb, as he gets up from his knees, looks into the bright sunlight.

Look, brother!

He notices a small little dot in the sun.

Salib:

It is he! He is being reawakened! As we speak, as we worship his great will and oath! He descends from the sky. And chooses us as his loyal servants.

The little dot in the light of the sky is still present. It grows bigger and bigger ever so slightly all the time. The pod was on its way down. We see it charging down with the blue sky behind it, for now. Its arrival on Earth was imminent.
