:48:01
Several places.
In the northern part of the island.
:48:04
- Has anything occurred in the centre?
- No, just north of the centre.
:48:08
- We haven't time, they're moving.
- How many?
:48:10
We'll explain at the hall,
we must finish these notes.
:48:12
- We'll do as you say.
- Thank you.
:48:15
- Now they tried experiment 1165...
- Yes.
:48:18
And if you compare that with 1143,
the results were negative.
:48:31
Quiet! Quiet, please!
:48:36
Now, that's all we know
at the moment.
:48:51
Your attention, please.
I'm Dr. West and this is Dr. Stanley.
:48:55
We've completed going over
Dr. Philips' notes
:48:58
and I must warn you that we're in
a dangerous situation. Dr. Stanley?
:49:03
Let me explain what
we've discovered so far.
:49:07
In order to understand
the nature of cancer,
:49:10
Dr. Philips was trying
to create living cells.
:49:13
Cells that he hoped
would attack the cancer.
:49:16
He based this on the carbon atom
which is the basis of all life.
:49:20
He didn't succeed.
:49:22
But he probably created a form
of life based on the silicon atom.
:49:27
Now these Silicates,
as we call them, eat animal bone,
:49:31
human bone.
:49:32
Dr. Philips' gave life
to some kind of organism,
:49:36
something we know nothing about.
:49:38
Their external skeletal structure
is tough and resilient.
:49:42
We couldn't hurt it with an axe and
when run over, it was unharmed.
:49:47
We haven't found
a way to destroy them yet,
:49:50
but shall attack them
with everything we can.
:49:53
From Dr. Philips' notes
and our own experience,
:49:56
we calculate that these creatures
divide every six hours.
