1:02:23
Yes, a single machine.
1:02:25
A cube 20 miles on each side.
1:02:29
For 2,000 centuries
it has waited patiently here...
1:02:33
tuning and lubricating itself,
replacing worn parts.
1:02:38
I have reason to believe
that 16 years ago...
1:02:40
a minor alteration was performed...
1:02:42
throughout the entire 8,000 cubic miles
of its own fabric.
1:02:48
But what's it all for?
1:02:51
Sometimes the gauges
register a little...
1:02:53
when the buck deer fight in the autumn
or when birds fly over in the spring...
1:02:57
and nearly a whole dial
became active...
1:02:59
when your ship first approached
from deep space.
1:03:02
I'll show you a section
of one of the power units.
1:03:07
These units are sunk
in the body of the planet...
1:03:11
fifty miles
right below our feet.
1:03:14
Now, be sure and look
only in the mirror.
1:03:17
Man does not behold
the face of the Gorgon and live.
1:03:29
9,200 thermonuclear reactors
in tandem.
1:03:33
The harnessed power
of an exploding planetary system.
1:03:45
All hands, stand clear
of fence area.
1:03:47
All right, Quinn, turn it on.
1:03:51
- Have you tested it yet, Bosun?
- Right away, sir.
