The Beginning

==Plot==
China: Sharron MacReady, Craig Stirling and Richard Barrett, three members of the international security organisation Nemesis, break into a top-secret Chinese scientific research centre and steal samples of insects being used for germ warfare. The trio escape in their airplane, but are then shot down over the snowy mountain wastes of Tibet; Craig, Sharron and Richard survive the crash but then quickly succumb to the freezing cold, and collapse into unconsciousness… But when they later come to, they find that not only have their wounds been healed, but they now possess great physical and mental skills and share a telepathic link with each other. 
It seems that an ancient and mysterious race of beings living in the mountains are responsible for their rescue and for bestowing their powers upon them; the three agents decide that they must keep the existence of their new abilities a secret. However, the Chinese military are still pursuing them - the three Champions must find a way to evade capture or it will mean their certain death...
==Trivia==
*An alternative version of this episode exists for use as a repeat, in which Richard Barrett records a tape for Tremayne detailing how he, Craig and Sharon got their powers; the episode then takes the form of a flashback
*Unlike all the other episodes, there is no intro-sequence for this story.

====Revealing mistakes ====
# Shortly after making their escape in the small plane, the Champions trio are seen relaxing and removing the camouflage grease paint that helped them break into jungle lab. As she removes the paint, with a cotton swab, Sharon (Alexandra Bastedo) is inexplicably wearing full facial makeup beneath.
# When Richard sees Craig lying in the snow apparently injured or dead, he runs to him, leaping onto an outcropping of rock along the way. The "rock" visibly flexes, revealing that it isn't really rock.
