:18:01
- Everything aboard?
- All squared away.
:18:20
Dr Michaels.
:18:22
- Yes?
- Here's your chart table right here.
:18:25
All the maps and charts
are in sequence from left to right.
:18:29
- And here's your checklist.
- Dr Duval and I will checkthe charts.
:18:32
Fine. Mr Grant?
:18:34
- This is your wireless station here.
- Good.
:18:38
- Ocular motor nerve.
- I see.
:18:44
- Need any help, skipper?
- Oh, yeah. We'll save some time.
:18:47
Open this, would you? Set it down there.
:18:50
- Where? On the deck here?
- Yeah, right there.
:18:55
- That's radioactive material.
- It's atomic fuel.
:18:58
- Is it all right to open it?
- Perfectly safe.
:19:01
There's a microscopic
radioactive particle inside.
:19:04
Nothing big enough
to be seen with the naked eye.
:19:11
If it's no military secret, how can a sub
run on a microscopic particle?
:19:16
They can't reduce nuclear fuel.
:19:18
But once the reactor's been miniaturised,
:19:22
a microscopic particle should put out
enough energy to activate it.
:19:26
That's cutting it close for a perfect fit.
:19:28
Well, it should work, theoretically.
:19:31
If it doesn't, the whole mission's off.
:19:33
You see, this craft is nuclear powered.
All except for your wireless.
:19:39
All in all, quite a canoe.
:19:41
Designed for piscatorial research:
spawning habits of deep-sea fish.
:19:45
That reminds me,
I'd better spawn a radio message.
:19:54
Test message from the Proteus, sir.
"Miss Peterson has smiled."
:19:58
Well, that's an auspicious sign.
