- Love!
- Love!
:05:07
Just a minute.
I'll slip something on.
:05:09
Don't trouble yourself.
This is an affair of state.
:05:12
What I must say not only is grave...
It's a secret.
:05:16
A secret?
:05:18
Have you ever heard of a young
scientist named Duran Duran?
:05:23
- Yes.
- Recently en route to the North Star...
:05:26
...he vanished into
the uncharted regions of Tau Ceti.
:05:30
But... why is that a secret?
:05:32
Because Duran Duran is the inventor
of the Positronic Ray.
:05:36
- It's a weapon.
- Weapon?
:05:41
Why would anyone want
to invent a weapon?
:05:43
How should I know?
:05:47
The universe has been
pacified for centuries, sir.
:05:49
As far as we know. Yet we know
nothing of Tau Ceti or its inhabitants.
:05:55
Could they still be in a primitive
state of neurotic irresponsibility?
:05:58
Precisely. And If they learn
from this young scientist...
:06:03
...the secret of the Positronic Ray...
:06:06
...they will be able to shatter
the loving union of the universe.
:06:11
- That might mean archaic insecurity...
- And war.
:06:17
- You mean selfish competition and...
- I mean war.
:06:22
- Bloody conflict among entire tribes.
- I don't believe it.
:06:26
Neither do I.
But we can't take a chance.
:06:30
- Something must be done.
- Yes. You're the girl who must do it.
:06:35
- Why me?
- I have no armies or police.
:06:39
I can't spare the presidential band.
Plus, you're a 5-star Astro-Navigatrix.
:06:47
Your mission then:
Find Duran Duran...
:06:52
...and use your incomparable talents
to preserve the security of the stars...
:06:56
...and our own mother planet.
How do you read me?
:06:59
- Straight.
- Here's the one known photo of Duran.
