Standing Stock Still
Intro
Some aliens (or mysterious forces) have the capability of halting
the movement of numerous others (Alphans)
all at once.

List
- ATAP: just as timelines are splitting.
- The lifeforce in "Force of Life" --
noticed on its approach --
brings Alphans to a halt,
midstride, just as it gets close to the base.
Only Anton Zoref, its target, remains mobile,
though helpless to avoid his fate.
The being apparently can wipe immediate memory
for no one seems to remember the approach of the alien
for the rest of the episode.
- Vegans (OMOH) bring all (seen)
Alphans to a halt, allowing Zamara to check out those in
Command Center,
seemingly looking for an apparent couple,
and mistaking Tony supporting Helena at the moment
they were halted.
- "The Lambda Factor":
Carolyn uses telepathic control to freeze the movement
of everyone in Command Center.
Others (Tony, then Maya) walk in,
only to be taken control of in different ways.
This is broken when John stands his ground
and her power washes back against her.
- The Dorcons bring Alphans to a halt --
except Maya, who seems immune to it.
They still search all individuals, looking for the Psychon.
The halting weapon seems to be tuned to bring many to a standstill,
but as an incomplete search measure,
still requiring a particular energy probe
to find/confirm an individual of the particular race
they were looking for.
