Plot[]
A rare planetary alignment allows the aliens to create a time portal. Blackwood must stop them from immunizing the Mor-Taxan invaders in 1953.
Synopsis[]
Malzor travels back in time to 1953 to inoculate a few surviving aliens against Earth's bacteria. He must return in 12 hours. His time travel device creates disturbances identical to the 1953 invasion. Harrison and Kincaid, tracking the disturbance to its source, follow Malzor into the past, where they race him to the aliens located inside an Army-quarantined area. Malzor arrives first and begins the inoculations, but Harrison and Kincaid arrive and slaughter the aliens. Malzor escapes through time, followed by Harrison and Kincaid. Despite his failure, the Eternal spares Malzor.
