- The Silver Moon XV-3 spacecraft returns to Earth after its reconnaissance mission of the moon Circo. Professor Mayberry warns Secretary Drake that all wood on Earth will disintegrate if no action is taken. He suggests building a series of giant space mirrors that could reflect the high energy particle back toward Circo. Rocky says that this can only be accomplished in time if all other nonessential manufacturing is shut down. This would mean that the entire public would be aware of the dire situation. Meanwhile, the escaped Agar has donned a disguise hoping that it will allow him to go off planet. He even was so bold as to go to Space Agency Headquarters. No one picked up on his real identity. He demands that Dorton steal a spacecraft for him. He suggests that they could launch simultaneously with another ship such that the launch equipment will be enabled. Earth factories are making lots of space mirrors. As Bobby plays with an individual-sized one, the professor tells him he will be in charge of a company of boys during the big repelling event. Agar and Dorton have managed to steal the NX-7. To mislead possible pursuers, he acts as if he is fleeing back to his home planet of Medina. The ship he is in is equipped with "cold light' that can make them invisible. Marshall radios Rocky with details of Agar course data. With Rocky in close pursuit, Agar puts Dorton in a space suit with 5 minutes of oxygen before tossing him out the door. Rocky and Biff stop to rescue Dorton. Just as Rocky is readying missiles to fire at Agar, Secretary Drake orders him to return to Earth at once. Circo is threatening to blow up at once. The professor wants to envelope Circo in magnetic elements that will bind together as a skin for Circo. They have made plans Juliandra, queen of Herculon, to stockpile the requisite materials. Agar overhears these transmissions and heads there himself. With his disguise in place, he presents himself to Juliandra as Dr. Norac from Venus. He hopes to study Circo as their planet's contribution to solving the problems. As Secretary Drake and Rocky confer, a disaster call sets off alarms. A report form Observation Point 43 north, 22 east reports catastrophic failure of wooden buildings. Trains are shut down because railroad ties have turned to powder.—Garon Smith
