Thunderstone
S01E15: The Weapon
Noah and the Nomads are forced from safety by the Thunderstone smoke that continues to billow out of the Cavern; they are surrounded by Protectors and trapped by the Electronets. If captured they will be unable to stop Tao so Noah, their only hope, must travel back to his time and return with technology to fight the Electronets. Harnessing the power of the Electronets, he takes Geneva's hand and they white-out, arriving in the raging blizzards of Topside North Col where they succumb to the freezing conditions. Tao surprises the Nomads by releasing them, explaining that with Noah gone they are no longer a threat. He has called a truce — but why? Found by Dr. Pretorius and nursed back to health, Noah and Geneva are called before the Triumvirate for a preliminary hearing. There are a lot of questions that require answers and as there is no evidence to prove time-travel — the matter will need to be investigated in depth. Noah placed under house arrest and a frightened and confused Geneva is detained in the Discipline Centre.
Overview
Thunderstone is an Australian science fiction children's series broadcast on Network Ten from 12 February 1999 to 8 September 2000. Created by Jonathan M. Shiff, the show is set in a post-apocalyptic future where a comet has destroyed most life on Earth. The year is 2020. 15-year-old Noah Daniels lives with his family in the futuristic underground community of North Col. The world above is a frozen wasteland after the comet destroyed all other life including the animals. One night, Noah accidentally time travels to the future and finds himself trapped in 2085 in a desolate desert called Haven with a group of children, the Nomads, led by Arushka.
