Please read and review my freinds.
Disclaimer: I do not own Supercar or TLK.
For those of you who don't know Supercar was Gerrry Anderson's second puppet T.V show. It was aired in two blocks of episodes. One in early 1961 and the other in late 1962. Supercar was an amazing machine that could not only travel over land at fantastic speeds but could also fly through the air and dive to the bottom of the deepest ocean. Supercar could even travel to the verges of outer space.
Supercar was created by Professor Rudolph Popkiss and Doctor Horatio Beaker. Popkiss is 60, white haired, speaks with a German accent and is slightly rounded. He is an intelligent, jolly old man.
His colleague Beaker is 55, bald headed, a British patriot and moderatly thin. Beaker is a brilliant scientist who loves creating new inventions and attachments for Supercar even in his spare time. The poor chap however has a very bad stammer.
The pilot for Supercar is Mike Mercury. Mike is 22, with an Elvis style hair cut, is square jawed and firmly built which makes him the perfect figure of a man. Mike is a guy who is not afraid to take risks. He is the perfect hero for the series as He is allways willing to help those in peril when ever they may need it. He journeys around the world searching for adventure and of course getting there is only half the fun in Supercar.
Next we have Jimmy Gibson Mike's 10 year old sidekick/son. Mike adopted Jimmy when he rescued him and his brother from a plane crash. Jimmy's brother Bill offerd Mike the chance to look after his brother while he returned to his carrer as a space pilot. Jimmy like Mike loves adventure and often comes with him on his many journeys in Supercar. Last but certainly not least is Mitch the monkey.
Mitch is Jimmy's monkey freind whom Mike also rescued from the plane crash. He is always getting himself and others into trouble. However he is intelligent and often helps his freinds to get out of scrapes.
All these characters make up The Supercar team and when they are not battling the feindish schems of they're arch enimies Masterspy and Zarin they are battling evil scientists, foreighn agents, and launching rescue missions into the unknown. I hope you all enjoy the story.
Black, Rock Nevada in the super, secret Supercar laboratory the Supercar team prepare for another day which holds another adventure for our freinds. In the kitchen Mike Mercury was reading the newspaper sitting at the breakfast table paitiently waiting for his breakfast. Professor Popkiss who might I add is a fantastic cook was making the breakfast. Jimmy and Mitch were also waiting to recieve they're breakfast. "Mmmm deliciouse absoloutly delicious" said the Professor. "What's on the menu Prof." asked Mike breifly glancing out of his newspaper to see what was in the frying pan. "Mmmmm ham and eggs Mike your favourite" "Thanks Professor" said Mike trying to restrsin himself from drooling at the thought of his fave food. "What's in the paper today Mike" asked Jimmy who was quit surprisingly for his age rather interested in the news. "Oh the usual Jimmy high tax prices ya know the usual rubbish but nothing that bothers us".
Suddenly Doctor Beaker came running into the kitchen in a rush of excitement. "Mike, Professor, Jimmy, Mitch come quickly I have something em, er Marvalouse to show you all". Everyone left from where they were and followed Beaker into his laboratory where he swowed them his new invention. "Well what do you think" Beaker asked once they had all had a good look at what was on Beaker's work bench. "Think of what" asked Mike "Where is your new invention Beaker" asked the Professor. The Doctor then realised his mistake and burst into laughter. "Oh yes how em, er stupid of me" said the Doc. On the bench was a big black box but as soon as Beaker took the front off there was something inside that surprised everyone. "Amazing" "Gee that's swell" "Good for you Doc" "Eeeek oooook". Beaker stood there looking very pleased at his new invention. "Satisfactory most satisfactory" he said to him self. Inside the box was a new radio for Supercar. Beaker explained to his freinds that this one could pick up a distress call from any part of the world and transfer the launguage into English. "Lets test out" Mike finally said when all the excitment was over. "A good idea Mike em, er now then which country shall I choose. I know I'll choose Africa here we go". Beaker pressed a few buttons then after a few seconds a voice came through the speaker on the radio.
"Emergency we are trapped in a huge rock the place is litterd with lions you have to help us fast. Our position is TX, 29, Zero red I repeat..." Then the radio in Africa cut out. Mike turned to the Professor, The Professor turned to Beaker, Beaker turned to Jimmy and Jimmy turned to Mitch who got the message loud and clear. "Oooook, Aaaaagh". said Mitch. "You got it Mitch we are off on another adventure" said Mike "Come on guys lets prepare Supercar for take off" Mike alerted his freinds. "I'll bring the radio with us and install it in Supercar's cockpit" suggested Beaker. "Fine Beaker the rest of us can prepare Supercar for an African flight" Mike said. "I'll go fetch the ham and eggs" said the Prof. "You can't fly Supercar on an empty stomach Mike". "Sure Professor" agreed Mike. Suddenly there was a huge explosion from the kitchen and everyone knew what had happend The Professor had left the stove on. "Well now who's a fool" said Beaker.
It took a while to install the radio (and for the Professor to stop mourning over the mess the kitchin was in) but finaly Supercar was ready for take off. Mike was in the pilot's seat. Jimmy and Mitch were in the back and Beaker was in the front with Mike on the passenger seat. "Ready Mike" said the Professor in the control room the overlooked Supercar's hanger. "Ready" said Mike "Charging port engine" said Mike as he flipped the switch that charged Supercar's first engine. "Nine thousand, ten thousand, eleven thousand, twelve thousand..." said Mike reading the guider counter. "Thirteen thousand, fourteen thousand, fifteen thousand interlock please Professor". "Interlock on ready to fire". "Ok fire one" said Mike as he fired Supercar's first engine. "Now charging starboard nine thousand, ten thousand, eleven thousand, twelve thousand, thirteen thousand, fourteen thousand, fifteen thousand interlock on" "Interlock on fire two" "Fire two". Mike ignited Supercar's second engine. "Both engines ok Prof. open roof doors please". "Roger Mike opening roff doors". The Professor flipped a switch then the doors of Supercar's hanger flew open to reveal day light. "Ok Professor I'm ready for take off i have marked the position of the distress call on the video plan". "Ok Mike I'll stay here and look after the consol". "Ok Prof. we'll miss having you along". The Professor chuckled "Don't worry Mike I have spent to much of my life living peacfully to be a man of action like you. Off you go and good luck". "Ok Full boost Vertical" shouted Mike as Supercar's mighty engines roared into life as Supercar rose into the air.
