The Mysterons are a powerful alien race that can use their powers of replication to create exact copies of any person or object they choose. They have been at war with Earth since a misguided attempt at peace talks left them feeling disrespected and insulted. Since then, they have targeted key members of Spectrum and other Earth organizations in an attempt to gain control of the planet.

The Mysterons prove to be a formidable enemy as they use their powers of replication to create numerous obstacles for the Spectrum team. The replicated research team is particularly troublesome as they use their knowledge of the facility to thwart Spectrum's efforts.

Despite the challenges, the Spectrum team is able to make some headway in their battle against the Mysterons. They discover that the aliens have a weakness for light and use this knowledge to create a weapon that can destroy the replicated research team.

As the episode reaches its climax, the Spectrum team faces off against the Mysterons in a final battle for control of the research facility. The action is intense as the two sides fight for dominance, and the fate of the facility hangs in the balance.
