Episode 6

Colonel Nash takes the wounded Mayer and Adam in his car to Lindenberger. Mr Walsh sneaks away and arrives in Canberra demanding a meeting with the Prime Minister advising that the weapon that the Soshunites have is their moon. They intend to smash it into Earth if they are not given a place to live. Adam contacts the Soshun again and tells them to destroy the radio telescope. The Soshunites use radio or sound waves to damage the radio telescope and prevent it from tracking Soshuniss. Adam and Dr Kamutsa, a representative of the Secretary-General of the UN and some others meet with the Prime Minister. The UN has delegated the role to negotiate to the PM. Adam uses the radio to speak to the Soshun and pass on the PM's request for a representative to visit the Soshun to discuss "a peaceful and harmonious end to this squabble". The Soshun advises he will negotiate only with the children, Jean, Bernie and Edward.
