- Sir.
- How do you do?

:44:02
Good morning. I understand that you
haven't been on the ice before, lieutenant.

:44:07
- No, sir.
- Where were you stationed, captain...

:44:09
...before you were picked up in transit?
:44:12
- Asia.
- Then you haven't been on the ice either.

:44:16
No, sir.
:44:18
A bullet goes just as fast up here
as it does down there.

:44:23
Not quite.
An insignificant difference, perhaps...

:44:26
...but I think you'll find the operational
characteristics of the M-16...

:44:30
...indicate that a bullet will decelerate
as much as...

:44:34
...40 feet per second per second faster
in these climatic conditions.

:44:38
It's denser air, you know.
:45:23
Radio, bridge. Any contact with Zebra?
:45:25
Yes, sir. We're receiving them faintly.
:45:27
They're sending their call signal D-S-Y
over and over again.

:45:30
Can you contact them?
:45:32
No, sir. They don't answer us.
:45:34
The signal is fading now, sir.
:45:36
Bridge, navigator.
:45:38
We got a good fix on them, captain.
Bearing 328.

:45:41
Dive, Bob.
