705-Hmsk
Probably weeks after the launch of Terra Venture, Matthew, wearing dingy
clothes and leather gloves, used a device with a calculator keypad to
hack into a security keypad on the Navigations door in a GSA hallway on Terra Venture.
Taking his bag of equipment into the Navigations
room, Matthew attached another device to a control panel, stopping all
of the colony's engines.
Soon, Kai and a team of guards rushed into the room with blasters drawn,
startling Matthew.
In a GSA room,
Matthew waited nervously at a table with Kai, two
more blue officers, and Damon, who sat across
from him.
Getting no reply to why he'd used his equipment
to stop the ship, Stanton then asked
where his ID card was, and Matthew
guessed defensively that he'd lost it; Stanton found the idea ridiculous.
After Damon's theorizing,
Matthew gave in and admitted that he'd sneaked aboard the Terra Venture and apologized, saying now he
wanted to go home.
Kai reported that they had
Matthew's mother on line from Earth; in a
monitor on the wall, a transmission of Matthew's worried mom tuned in.
Matthew's mom was extremely worried, asking how
he could have done this, and he guiltily told her he'd wanted to go into
space.
His mom defeatedly concluded that she was never
going to see him again, and Matthew told her he loved her.
As she sniffled, his mom told him she loved him
too, and the image faded into static.
Matthew wanted to go home, but Stanton explained why they couldn't turn
the ship around for him and said that Terra
Venture was his new home.
Later, Damon drove up to
an outdoor transformer panel, with Matthew dressed in a green suit
identical to his.
As they got out white protective suits to put on,
Damon explained that Matthew had to learn
something other than hacking into computers.
Matthew asked Damon
whether he'd left his family on Earth, and Damon had; when asked if he missed them, Damon replied that he did every day.
While Damon was teaching
Matthew how to replace liquid cylinders inside the transformer panels,
Damon heard the warble beep of his Transmorpher, and he told Matthew he'd be
right back; Matthew thought he could do all right on his own.
In the city, Matthew was running when he found Furio with Stingwingers telling them to quickly find
the elevator to the control tower.
As the villains approached the administration building, Furio said his plan was working perfectly; Matthew,
hiding nearby, was nearly discovered, but he then ran around and beat
the villains inside the building, taking the elevator up just in time to
escape the Stingwingers.
Passing out, Matthew pressed a button on the
white stand in Command Headquarters, making an alarm blare, and he
groaned, "Somebody... help."
Minutes later, the Galaxy Rangers entered Command Headquarters from the hallway; Green Ranger cradled Matthew,
calling him by name, and Matthew groaned that he'd tried to stop them
from taking over.
Green
Ranger told Matthew he'd done a great job as the boy passed out
again.
Some time after the Rangers had destroyed Gasser, Matthew stood before Stanton and a line of blue GSA officers, with red officers beside them, and Kendrix, Damon, and Kai together at the end of the line.
A blue Type 2
officer presented Stanton with a
medal case, and Stanton removed the
medal and put it around Matthew's neck, telling him Terra Venture was safe because of his
courage and bravery.
The medal, on its blue ribbon, had a torch in the
center, with olive branches on either side.
Matthew thanked them but wished his mom was there
to see it, and Stanton didn't know
what to say as Matthew walked off sulking.
Walking through a park with his bag and medal,
Matthew was sad, but the Rangers
suddenly leapt in, landing in front of him.
Matthew was pleased and surprised by the Rangers' presence; when morphed Damon asked, "Hey Matthew, you know you're a hero?"
Matthew enthusiatically hugged him.
Green
Ranger told Matthew that he'd saved the whole colony, then said that
someone had told them that he might want to go home.
Soon, the Rangers
stood with Matthew on the Megaship bridge as they established a
transmission with Stanton in Command Headquarters.
Green
Ranger told the commander they would be escorting Matthew home.
Stanton told
Matthew they'd miss him and thanked him, and Matthew thanked him for
letting him see outer space; Stanton
chuckled that it had been an honor, and the transmission faded out as
Matthew waved.
On the bridge,
Matthew looked at his medal and was eager for his mom to see it.
Green
Ranger had Alpha set a course for Earth, and Alpha
replied, "You got it!"; the Megaship
then flew away from Terra Venture.
"Matthew."
