I don’t own the rights of “Captain
Scarlet and the Mysterons” or any of the characters. This story I wrote was done in a spirit of
fun, with respect for the works of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, and the rest of
the team from Century 21 and ITC Entertainment. I don’t make a dime out of this, so please
don’t sue me anybody!
While I tried very hard to stay faithful
to the Gerry Anderson Chronology, I have taken some much-needed freedom (for
“creativity’ sake”) with some aspects of it.
I personally don’t believe that all the
series created by Gerry Anderson have taken place in the same universe, like
the Century 21 and Countdown Magazines have implied (I have read
somewhere that Gerry Anderson himself didn’t have that concept in mind
either). But I have kept some ideas
from it. For example, it is rather
interesting to think that Dianne Simms (Rhapsody Angel), had worked for some
time for an elderly lady of the name of Penelope Creighton-Ward… If I referred to a WASP organisation,
Marineville and a Stingray prototype, that don’t necessary mean they’re the
same elements as described in the “Stringray” television series…
The Captain Scarlet Annual 1968 had
implied that Rick Fraser (Captain Ochre), during what was called “Operation
Jigsaw”, had to undergo a plastic surgery in order to join the Spectrum
organisation… That would lead us to
believe that ALL Spectrum senior staff had to go through that as well. So I scratched that idea and, taking into
account ONLY the case of Captain Ochre, replaced it with one of my own
(granted, a rather simple one). Beside,
if one read carefully, there is a warning upon the 1968 Annual “article”: “For security
reasons, this report from the Jigsaw files is false…”
I have also borrowed some ideas and
characters from Kimberly Smith-Murphy and Mary J. Rudy, from the “Power
Star” stories, such as Captain Scarlet’s parents, the real identity of
Captain Brown and the facts that Scarlet and Destiny Angel knew each other’s
fairly well before joining Spectrum.
Thanks, you two! If you ever
read those lines, let me know what you think of all this.
Keep in mind that this is my first try at a fan fiction, and my first go in writing in the English language. There’s bound to be errors, grammatical or otherwise, throughout the story. Be kind to me. I’m opened to critics and suggestions…
