:21:00
Not a very pretty sight.
:21:13
I intend to make
the first incision here. Agreed?
:21:16
Agreed.
:21:29
Here's something interesting.
:21:33
There are a series of minute
punctures in this dermal segment.
:21:37
That's odd.
:21:39
Let's collect segments
from other parts of the body.
:21:41
Try staining it with eosin.
:21:50
- It's the same with all of them.
- They're all over the body.
:21:54
I've never seen anything
like these punctures before.
:21:56
Could something have entered
the body through them?
:21:59
- Like what, for instance?
- It's possible some enzyme
:22:02
was introduced into the body
through the punctures.
:22:05
If they are punctures. I can't tell
if they're punctures or ruptures.
:22:10
Something came out or some organism
producing an enzyme went in.
:22:14
There's no trace of calcium
phosphate in the body.
:22:17
Then this enzyme,
or whatever it is,
:22:20
seems to attack and break down
the calcium phosphate.
:22:23
A major component of human bone.
:22:26
We don't know
if there's a connection
:22:28
between the perforations
and the absence of bone.
:22:31
They could be two evidences
of a similar syndrome.
:22:35
We'll have to assume it.
:22:36
If we only had more complete
facilities.
:22:39
There's Philips' lab,
but I don't know if he'll talk to us.
:22:43
- He'll talk to me.
- How well equipped is he?
:22:45
I've never seen it,
but I believe it's complete.
:22:49
Don't say the lights
are going to fail.
:22:51
We've had trouble
with the generator.
:22:53
- Let's get out to Philips' place.
- All right.
:22:56
I'd better leave a note
for Constable Harris at his house.
