DOTLAN EveMaps

Following a two-year investigation into the failure of the first mission, during which time a second Zero-X has been built, a commission concludes sabotage. On the eve of the second mission the President of Glenn Field's space control invites International Rescue to provide security for the launch. Jeff Tracy is reticent, as there is no immediate threat to life. Relenting, he allows them to attend, commenting that "rules were made to be broken", sending Scott and Virgil to be on hand at the launch site in Thunderbirds 1 and 2, and calling in International Rescue's London agent Lady Penelope to assist. She and Scott foil a second attempt by The Hood to infiltrate the mission, and the take-off proceeds according to plan.
