Doctor...
:44:04
Without killing him,
how long could we stop his heart?
:44:09
- The less time the better.
- I know, but what's the maximum?
:44:12
In his comatose state and
everything slowed down,
:44:15
no more than 60 seconds.
:44:17
At top speed, adjusting distance
for degree of miniaturisation,
:44:21
that sub should get through the heart
in exactly 57 seconds.
:44:25
That's only three seconds to revive him.
:44:27
What are the problems involved
in stopping the heart?
:44:31
Nothing - compared with starting it up again.
:44:36
We're wasting time. Let's get on with it.
:44:39
Message to Proteus.
:44:41
- Cardiac red alert.
- Maintaining maximum speed,
:44:44
the sub should get through the heart
in 57 seconds.
:44:48
This will allow us three seconds to spare
in which to revive him.
:44:52
To minimise the turbulence
we will have to arrest the heart.
:44:55
Prepare for cardiac shock. Remove the radar.
:44:59
The Proteus will proceed
to the entrance of the right atrium,
:45:03
at which point the heart will be stopped -
by electric shock.
:45:09
57 seconds.
:45:12
And if it takes longer to get through?
:45:14
We can't take a second more.
:45:17
Captain, head in the direction of the flow
and then drift with it.
:45:34
Well, that looks pretty complicated.
:45:36
I shall be able to guide you once we're inside.
