Alan in Temporary Command

Intro

Examples

• OMOH (515 DAB): not actually shown in command (?), but presumably was, given John and Tony off were base (as were Helena and Maya) and on Vega.
• NANE (1095 DAB): Given command by Cmdr. Koenig before he, Tony, Helena, Maya, and Magus board Eagle 4 to explore New Earth. When the Eagle simply vanishes from the pad, Alan decides it must be on the planet, and subsequently makes two unsuccessful attempts -- prevented remotely by Magus -- at a rescue (in Eagle 1).
• "Space Warp" (1807 DAB): When John and Tony are left on the other side of a space warp from the Moon, Alan is in charge, and is confronted by damage repair and the sudden appearance of a rampaging creature he soon orders to be "kill[ed] on sight" -- only to quickly change his order when he is alerted by Helena that the creature is an ill and delusional Maya. He and Helena then work together to limit -- as best as they can -- and eventually capture Maya. He also decides to send out an Refueling Eagle partway back along the Moon's route, in case John and Tony make it through the warp, in which case they'll need refueling to get the rest of the way back to Alpha.
