701-QsQ1.
- Command Headquarters, the main control room of Terra Venture, was hemispherical in shape;
if the flat side were designated as "south," then the south wall had
three sets of double doors, the easternmost leading into the adjacent Science Division, the center being a
futuristic elevator, and the westernmost leading into a GSA-style hallway outside.
- In the northeast was a line of panel windows
looking into space, and in the center of the
room were two groups of control stations with two seats each; behind
them, near the elevator doors, was a white podium with an angular dome
of controls on it as well.
- In the northwest was a wall of computer controls and monitors which could be
manned by more officers, and in the very north was an alcove in which
two officers sat in command chairs facing forward, surrounded by
numerous controls.
- Although blue-suited officers could participate
in the predominantly red-suited Science
Division, Command Headquarters was never operated by red-suited
officers, although reds would occasionally step in to witness special
events.
- Glancing at the work of two officers manning a
control station eight hours before Terra
Venture's departure, Commander
Stanton remarked, "Excellent," and then asked if all system checks
were up-to-date.
705-Hmsk.
- After breaking into the Navigations room, a dim,
fairly small room filled with controls, the stowaway boy named Matthew attached a device to a control panel,
stopping all of the engines, and monitors in Command Headquarters showed
four sets of 00, with the emergency message "<<Engine
Stop>>" as an alarm buzzed.
? Matthew rode a glass exterior elevator up the
side of the administration building,
but when it arrived at Command Headquarters in the control tower, it was the larger,
futuristic, windowless elevator which opened up directly into Command
Headquarters; when Furio had the elevator called
back down to the dome floor, the futuristic elevator closed and went
down and was then shown as the glass elevator on the side of the administration building.
- Blue lights above the doors in Command
Headquarters showed the floor the elevator was on, with a larger red
light to the left of floor 1 being "Dome Floor."
- Passing out after hacking into the elevator
controls to stop it, Matthew pressed a
button on the white stand in Command Headquarters, making an alarm
blare, and he groaned, "Somebody... help."
? What the Rangers did in the control tower to stop the already stuck Furio is unknown, but he would not appear again
until 706-LOrn.
715-RDay.
- In Command Headquarters when the Scorpion Stinger attacked, alarms blared,
and the computer announced they were under
attack as the monitors flashed, "Emergency."
718-ReMi.
- Mike was walking into Command Headquarters when everyone was
watching a static-filled emergency transmission from an alien (referred to in this guide as an
alien crewmember) begging for help;
unable to contact the aliens to
reply, Stanton had Kai pinpoint the source and told Mike to compile a report and meet him at High Command; Mike
agreed and left into the hall.
- During a rescue mission into the alien ship, GSA
soldiers went inside led by Mike, whose helmet had a blinking red microcamera
attachment on the right side, delivering a feed straight to Command
Headquarters.
719-LGb1.
? The evening after Kai and Damon had been
abducted by Deviot, Kendrix was worried about Kai having missed his shift at Command Headquarters,
saying he'd never missed a shift, but his abduction had occurred when
his car had broken down on his way home
that afternoon.
723-MMir.
- Somewhat late one evening, Kai excused himself from dinner with the teens, saying he had a long shift the next
morning.
725-BTst.
- Having been put in charge of the colony, Kai had a complete systems check run on the engines, then called for, "projected course and
speed report, environmental generators, fuel levels, main thrusters.
Full speed ahead."
735-EnLG.
- When an energy surge was accidentally released
from the Galaxy Book in the Science Division, powerful blue energy
bolts ripped through the area, shorting out much of the colony's power as lightning bolts crackled down from the
control tower and into the city dome, striking at least one building in
the city.
- Forcing his way into Command Headquarters through
the jammed sliding doors, Stanton
asked for a damage report, and Mike said the
energy pulse had burned out all of the transformers, which could perhaps
be replaced within 48 hours.
736-BMut.
- Stanton had to
take an elevator to go from High Command
to Command Headquarters.
740-HGrv.
- As Mike manned a seat in
the front of Command Headquarters, an orange streak flew by the window,
and Mike secretly called the Rangers to tell them of the object having
fallen to the main city dome; meanwhile,
the Rangers were fighting Teksa in a plaza after having
destroyed the resurrected Freaky
Tiki.
741-RTit.
- The morning after the fuel reserved were found to be tainted, one
cluster of engines, as well as two adjacent
thin-cylinder engines, shut off.
- In Command Headquarters, the alarm was blaring as
Stanton entered from the lift; Kai was at a console, with Mike at the control podium.
- Kai showed a bar indicating
exhaust pressure climbing into the red, and it was soon reaching
critical.
- Once Engine 4 had
exploded, the Command computer announced
that Engine 4 functions were terminated as a
monitor showed schematics of the green engines, with one large cluster blinking
yellow.
- From the guys' room later, Damon used the computer there to check up on the status of
the engines with Mike, who stood at the wall console in Command
Headquarters.
- With an alarm buzzing in Command Headquarters
shortly after the Rangers' destruction
of Titanisaur later that
morning, Kai and Mike
rushed in and got into empty console seats, and Mike reported trouble in Engine 3; Kai said
temperature was 600 Kelvin and rising fast.
- Although the center engine cluster shorted out and exploded, Damon and the workers
in the engine room managed to avert a second
disaster, restoring normal temperatures.
- On the monitor before Kai,
a red bar dropped, and the yellow engine
cluster returned to green.
- As Terra Venture
later appeared to be flying through a vortex leading out of the Lost Galaxy, Stanton had the stabilizers
recalibrated.
743-End1.
- As the teens stood
looking at the beautiful sunrise from behind Mirinoi, Kai suddenly
realized he was going to be late for his shift, saying if they wanted to
get to the planet, he had to help land the
colony.
- Later that morning, Kai and
Mike manned the northeast consoles to begin
landing procedure.
- After the detached city
dome's devastating crash-landing on Mirinoi's moon, Command Headquarters was
completely trashed, in massive ruins, with fires in various places, as
people groaned and helped each other up from the wreckage.
- Kai used a fire
extinguisher on a small fire.
- Later, a green radar-like monitor in Command
Headquarters, where a few lights and monitors were on, showed a squadron
of eight triangle shapes approaching, and Kai told
Stanton and Mike that they had incoming fliers, a swarm of Stingwingers.
745-End3.
- Green Trakeena walked
through Command Headquarters in Terra
Venture's abandoned control tower.
- Trakeena plunged her
staff into the floor; rings of green electricity flew out from it,
repowering the dead city dome and causing
it to lift off.
- In Command
Headquarters, Leo found Trakeena's staff standing in the center, bathing
the room in green light as the insect gem glowed and green energy pulses
entered the floor.
