We're picking up seaweed,
or whatever that is.
1:09:25
Reticular fibres.
We ought to be clear of them soon.
1:09:29
Well, I hope so, Doctor.
1:09:31
Because if that stuff clogs the vents,
the engines will overheat.
1:09:49
What's causing all this?
1:09:51
- Looks like somebody declared war.
- That's exactly what it is.
1:09:55
Antibodies destroying bacteria or any other
foreign invader that threatens the system.
1:10:18
Look! It's taken on its exact shape.
1:10:21
- It's like hand in glove.
- Much closer. Like two atoms.
1:10:28
We'll never get there in time at this rate.
1:10:30
Isn't there another route to bypass all this?
1:10:33
- No.
- Yes!
1:10:34
- There's no other suitable route.
- Yes, there is.
1:10:38
We can transfer to the inner ear.
And go by way of the endolymphatic duct.
1:10:44
- Why don't we take it?
- Because it's more hazardous
1:10:46
than the route we're following now.
1:10:49
You see, once in the ear,
1:10:51
any noise at all in the operating theatre
would be disastrous.
1:10:55
At our reduced size, any vibrations inside
the ear would have a shattering effect.
