2.1 Testament of Arkadia

The moon is stopped dead in space near a deserted world and Alpha experiences an unexplained power loss which will shortly render the base uninhabitable.  Unfortunately with Arkadia seemingly dead the prospect of the Alphans surviving there are even worse as they could only survive there for six months or so.  But time enough, perhaps, for a miracle.

Editor’s Note:
This episode was the last one of the original broadcasting for season one and has a great story and a great finish.  But in my attempt to make a new chronological story arc I was surprised how good this episode fits as a new Season Two opening episode.  Just at the beginning John’s voiceover gives a perfect update of their situation.  Fans will notice the addition of a clock and number of days since leaving the Earth’s orbit on the comm-post.  Since I have removed and modified several time references during the series I thought a simple reference at the beginning of the second season would help the viewer understand the new time frame.  Again, a few special effects have been corrected including the shot of the Eagle coming out of the sun and the moon as it's stopped in space
