We, the Mysterons, Will Destroy the Centre of Hope! (short story)

We, the Mysterons, Will Destroy the Centre of Hope! was a Captain Scarlet short story printed in TV Century 21 in 1969 as part of that year's Captain Scarlet and Thunderbirds Annual.

It was partially set in Unity City, the capital of the World Government first introduced in The Daleks story Duel of the Daleks, thus constituting a crossover with the Doctor Who universe.

Summary
to be added

Characters

 * Captain Scarlet
 * Captain Blue
 * Colonel White
 * Lieutenant Green
 * T.J. Younger
 * Olaf Kacinski
 * Bob Palmer
 * Secretary of State

Worldbuilding

 * Cloudbase is stationed eight miles up in the clouds.
 * Colonel White has ordered fifty of the prototype vehicles with International Engineering.
 * The prototype vehicle is fitted with atomic cannons and electron and aqua-missiles, and built of a new metal compound which none of Spectrum's weapons can touch.
 * Upon being shown the true extent of the prototype vehicle's abilities Captain Blue likens the Maximum Security Vehicle to a kid's toy in comparison.
 * Younger claims it took months for them to convince Bereznik to have peace talks.
 * Captain Scarlet takes hand-bombs from the S.P.V.'s armoury, and a jetpack unit to navigate the waters of the Atlantic.

Story notes

 * Despite being released later in 1969, this story features T.J. Younger as the incumbent World President even though he resigned in favour of Vice President Roberts as of The Big Tip-Off!, which was set in April 2069. This rare instance of a TV Century 21 story not being set almost-exactly one hundred years into the future was presumably caused by the much larger lead times on the annuals when compared with the weekly editions of the magazine.

Continuity

 * Bereznik have "at long last" agreed to have peace talks with the World Government, which Twenty One and Valin hoped would happen after they helped defeat the Titans together. (COMIC: Terror of the Titans)
 * The Mysterons unsuccessfully attempt to provoke a world war between the World Government and Bereznik yet again. (PROSE: We, the Mysterons, will cause a germ war throughout Earth!)
