Invaders from Mars (audio story): Difference between revisions

Cosmo and Ellis has injected Charley with a truth serum. She starts talking about The Doctor and the Tardis. Both Cosmo and Ellis are confused by her drugged ramblings and decides to tune in to the radio instead. This is when they hear a spaceship landing. Two Laiderplackers emerge from the spaceship and take note of their surroundings.

Back at Stepashin’s lab, Glory has The Doctor and the professor following her. Professor Stepashin informs The Doctor that he has been using alien technology in his research and he even has a live specimen of the alien in a tank. Glory intends to bring Professor Stepashin and his research back to Russia. They head to her secret hideout under the Brooklyn Bridge.  

Back at the recording studio, John Houseman and Orson Welles are busy rehearsing War of the Worlds broadcast. Unfortunately, the switchboards are jammed and the rehearsal was broadcasted. Glory Bee lets The Doctor go, but he chooses to stay. Don Chaney suddenly appears and points a radiation gun at them. The Doctor tries to persuade them to give up the weapons but was unsuccessful. And then one of Chaney’s goons runs up to them telling them the Martians have invaded Earth.

Back at the cell, Cosmo Devine points the gun at Ellis, citing as he doesn’t know anything he is useless to him. Ellis pleads for his life, but Charley then wakes up and wrestles the weapon from his hand and has Ellis hit Cosmo with a chair. During the struggle Jimmy Winkler was hit by a stray shot from the weapon and was killed. Charley and Ellis then escape.

Back at the bridge, The Doctor, Glory Bee and Don Chaney are stuck in a standoff. Chaney asks The Doctor about the Martians, and The Doctor then realizes what year it is. He chuckles to himself as he realizes it is all just a radio broadcast, which has caused a big panic in the city.  

Meanwhile, Charley and Ellis runs into the Laiderplackers. The aliens question them regarding where their weapons are kept and Ellis leads them to Manhattan. The aliens then have them follow them to Manhattan.  

Cosmo Devine meets up with Bix Biro who informs Cosmo he has done what he asked for, he also informed Cosmo he knows Don Chaney has a secret hideout in the Brooklyn Bridge. Bix asked Cosmo if he would let Jimmy go, only for Cosmo to inform Jimmy is dead. Cosmo then shoots and kills Bix.  

At the bridge, everyone was distracted by a spaceship whizzing through the sky. Glory took the opportunity to try and take Professor Stepashin away, but Don Chaney shot the radiation gun near her, causing her to stumble off the ledge. The Doctor tried to save her, but was unable to and she fell off the bridge to her death. Everyone entered the bridge, only to run into Cosmo Devine. Cosmo Devine had his men take the various weapons and ordered them to kill everyone. Cosmo Devine freed the live specimen in the tank, and it is now poised to attack them.
